Guild Wars 2

A reduction of the base CD of attunement is mandatory in my opinion to allow more builds without restricting the ele too much for moving away from 30 Arcana too much.

The base CD of attunement should be reduced to 11s from 15s while the recharge bonus for Arcana should be reduced to 10% from 20% for eevry 10 pts spent in the trait line

This would allow eles to experiment with more builds ( assuming fire/air traits get improved) while not losing too much flexibility and that feeling of great versatility when having 30 pts in the Arcana trait line.

What is your opinion?

I have headaches when I try to optimize my ele, I ever miss some trait points.
In fact I think I would like to play with all the traits
This is tuff to keep an ele versatile, almost impossible I would even say.

Actually I think the better solution would be to add an elite Signet skill, like Arcane Signet or something, with a passive 3-4 second attunement swap reduction. That would be an elite worth using that would free up builds. The Active on the signet could be whatever, maybe No CD on attunement swap for 10 seconds, 90 sec cooldown. Pretty useful, not OP, solves a lot of problems.

Imo this would drastically reduce the number builds by virtually removing arcana as a trait line.

It would drastically increase the dps of the class as points are put into fire, air. The cooldown in aracana allows those who have it to offset the loss in dps by staying out of autoattack and putting together fast combos. Give that away for virtually free and add in the bonuses to dps players will be able to pick up in fire and air and you have big dps numbers.

It would drastically increase suvivability as the class puts points into toughness.

All just when it appeared the devs seemed to be happy with the balance of the class. This last update was pretty mild compared with what the community was expecting.

Before someone says it lol, no, I do not think the trait bonuses in the arcana line would still be worth having anyway. This idea has been floated before btw. Sounds to me that glass cannons want more cannon in their glass. Did the OP float this question before? I seem to recall a poll like this before.
