Guild Wars 2

Hey All,

Just finding my way through learning the game and enjoying my baby elementalist. I just got the ability that lets me cast an elemental. but although it’s stated in the description, I can’t see any swiftness buff when I cast the Air Elemental. There’s no boon icon I can see, nor do I notice a particular change in speed when it stops.

Am I missing something?

Hey Xtrem,
I’m going to assume you mean, Glyph of Lesser Elementals and not the elite version. The Swiftness boon on the air summon, is a combat only skill, Windborne Speed so you can not use it out of combat.

Depending on your level you can instead use Glyph of Elemental Harmony in air for swiftness and you can trait it for cooldown and more boons depending on how much you need. Another option on Ele that people tend to use is Zephyr’s Boon on Dagger/Dagger set ups.
My personal go to is, using Arcane Wave and Arcane Brilliance in a Lightning combo field, either with Static Field -staff skill on staff or Static Field -Lightning Hammer skill when running on Scepter set ups.

Thanks for that. That explains it then.
