How about changing Cleansing fire into Glyph of cleansing?

WHY?
Because glyph builds are already almost dead, at the other hand, cantrips with all cantrips being stunbreaker and good trait synergy are over the top… this change could give Glyph builds (which are more offensive oriented due to traits found in air line and character of skills) a stun breaker and defensive ability while still profiting from Glyph traits, which would be interesting to see… this could bring the very wanted diversity in builds

HOW?
skill would remain almost the same, stun break + 3 conditions down, last effect would differ due to element like other glyphs does:
fire – burn aoe
air (version 1) – aoe blind
air (version 2) – aoe weakness
water (version 1) – aoe heal
water (version 2) – aoe chill
earth – aoe cripple

PROBLEMS?
only problems which i have in mind are that you have 4 skills from each type, this would result in 3 cantrips and 5 glyphs… solution could be changing Glyph of elemental power to some elemental cantrip to balance this…

new cantrip Elemental power could give a shield (maybe aura for traits synergy? if it wouldnt be too OP) which lasts 5sec and provides random condition (burn, weakness, chill, cripple just like old glyph) on hit and maybe even on being hit? if it wouldnt be too OP (something like chaos armor, but useable even in offensive way), CD 35 or 40sec like Chaos armor and ofc NOT a stun breaker

i hope you will like my idea numbers would be a part of skill balance
