I’ve been generating this idea for a while in my head, and have been bouncing ideas off of my friends. The idea is that this is a tanky-support weapon that requires positioning to work as good as possible. All numbers could be adjusted, as I know I’m not one to talk about balance. (I constantly refer to power-creeping as a good idea, only sometimes jokingly) It’s not quite complete yet, but I think it’s in a good enough position to post.
Making Fire differ more from Fiery Greatsword. Ideally, for me at least, this would replace it, but I don’t know if that will happen.
Making 5 abilities feel less/more powerful. Something like Air 5 could look very intimidating, but at the same time, the Elementalist can’t do anything during it. Not really a problem for the support-mindset people like me, but for others it might be a problem.
EDIT: Credit to /u/Sinnum on Reddit for Earth1-4, 5 changes, Water 4, 3 changes, and Air 1 and 4 changes! (Wow that’s a lot!)
Just to add a bit to your idea. I have always wondered why the Elite Fiery Greatsword of the de elementalist has to be of fire element only. We already have the Axe as fire. Why cant it be Chromatic Greatsword? depending on the Element Attunement it has that elements powers and unique moves or/and unique effects for it. Or a more complex Elite where the sword actively changes element with the attunement change etc.
Since it fall form the heavens it could be call Star Greatsword, Morning Star or something in those lines depending of the Element I could have different color of fire or/and Lightning effects. This could also just be an utility summon weapon, Sword, pistol, mace, … etc.
Or maybe as an ELITE it can be an equivalent for aquatic weapon, Spear maybe?
True I guess, what about a spear for aquatic combat, one can dream no?? what would you suggest for a chromatic weapon of sorts?
LOL, you win, I guess I use the common misspelling of the French word, since touché is an expression borrowed from French used.
