Guild Wars 2

I wonder what if arcane shield is an aura?
Its a pretty useful skill but i havent seen it in all of the popular builds these days because of the auramancer synergies together with tempest. These huilds basically demand shouts.

So my suggestion is: Arcane shield clarified as an aura.
This could be useful in raids, fractals PvP and general PvE.
Any opinions?

I often thought that arcane sourge giving light aura instead of the conditions would be very intresting and cool :-). I think it would also fit well.

Arcane are in them self an effect i am not sure making them into auras would work out right. If any thing arcane shield needs to be a duration block not a number hit block.

Over all the older arcane skills do need a fix that anet has not touched out side of cd.
Arcane shield needs to be a duration block say 3 to 2 sec with some type of big hit at the end of it.
Arcane wave needs to be a double blast / double hit.
Arcane blast needs to be a ammo shot kind of like a mantra but not precast say 3 shots.
Arcane Brilliance needs to have a condi clear for each person you hit with it. Condi clear is something arcane skills are missing and it fits so well with the aggressive way this skill works for healing.

I love to see a full viable arcane ele.

I agree that arcane skills need improvements and i would like to see a full arcane ele too.
The arcane shield suggestion is good with the duration block i personally would ramp up the number of blocks possible and as i suggested make arcane shield count as an aura.
The stunbreak would be shared with aurashare, the block would be shared and the detonation afterwards. With the 50s CD this isnt OP but could be very sweet for support ele.
