Guild Wars 2

Just posting to give a suggestion . Give feedback as necessary
Soothing mist is good- This is the type of idea i want to spread to the other 5pt traits.
Stone Flesh
This is now a buff on your bar- Lasts 5 seconds, Re-applies itself every 2 seconds. Radius 1200 just like soothing mist, max 5 people. Gain toughness based on level. Keep it the same.

Zephyrs Speed
Also a buff on your bar- Lasts 10 seconds- Re-applies every 3 seconds.
Radius 1200 , max 5 people. This skill no longer grants a 10% increase to speed, but instead, will grant 20% instead. This is to insure that people who use swiftness will surely be a bit faster, but also as to make this not entirely useless.

Flame Barrier
Buff on bar, lasts 5 seconds- re applies every 2.
Radius 1200 max 5 people.
There is no longer a chance to grant burning on being hit. It is no longer restricted to melee. Instead, any damage done to you, whoever the source was gets burned for 2 seconds. Internal cooldown of 3 seconds.
One With Fire would obviously have to be changed to something else.

Note- Arcana shall remain the same. These changes are to help the ele fufill its jack of all trades role, as well as give eles more support options for much less trait dedication.
Give feedback, be constructive/critical.

Wouldn’t that make the game susceptible to the same issue World of Kittencraft had? As in, bring a shaman because they have Time Warp that nobody else has?

Then again, I do like the idea of turning them into Soothing Mist-like buffs so they stay around for a few more seconds.

Flame Barrier would be incredibly overpowered in PvP.

edit: Now that I think about it, it’s only while in Fire Attunement right? So I suppose it wouldn’t. It would make staff ele actually useful. It’s still too strong imo to be a 5 point minor trait…

Time Warp is a mage spell >_>

I like these ideas very much Game Slayer, although the fire trait could use a higher ICD. The way you have it our 5 point minor trait is better than the necro’s 30 point gandmaster major trait, or the engi’s 10 point major trait. Other wise they all look like great ideas.

numbers would probably need a balance… but idea of scoothing mist-like buffs is very interesting

I suppose flame barrier would have to be tweaked a bit. But, granting a little regen, a little speed, and a little toughness to your allies is something almost any class can do at the moment, just in different ways.

yeah, the numbers are just a formality to give you an idea of what this suggestion entails. They can be tweaked till all’s blue, im just more interested in having be like soothing mist. Again, fulfilling that jack of all trades role that anet wants us to be.

yeah, thanks, and ofc. i was just throwing out numbers to show you the suggestion was all. they can be tweaked all they want. except for air, honestly, its a horrible speed buff. 20% seems reasonable.
