Guild Wars 2

Blasting Staff
Area attacks with staff are larger, wielding a Staff in your main hand grants 10% additional damage and up to 280 power (based on level).

Don’t you think that’s just a bit… much?

A fan of the fine art of understatement are you?

lel
blasting staff is already one of the strongest traits

I had another word in mind but figured it might come out a little harsh. :P

It wouldn’t be a Daecollo post if it wasn’t over the top :p

Yes

Notice how it says “main hand”, with dual staves you get up to 560 and 20% amirite?

So Daecollo is playing Elementalist now?

Nope, I just need an overpowered idea for every class.

This trait should incrase any aoe of ELE not staff specific.

Blasting staff should also affect trident in some way(not range since water is 3d combat).

Change:
-All staff aoes are renormalized to half-way between their current radius and blasting staff radius
-Blasting Staff (new): all aoe’s increased to their current size. Staff range increased to 1500 (not that great of a distance change, as 1200 is sufficient, but 1500 can be nice if you want it).

Those weapon-related traits shouldn’t even exist. Base area of effect should just be 25% bigger. It’s the only weapon-related trait that’s “required” (or useful for that matter, but that’s only because it’s required for efficacy) just to get a decent area of from your skills.

All three of those traits need to be scrapped, or completely reworked.

Blasting Staff: While wielding a staff, duration of blast finisher effects is doubled, and Area Healing blast finishers heal 50% more.

I think a better thing for the trait would be..

Blasting Staff: Staff Area Effects are larger (keep the increases how they are or decrease depending on how this next part effects them) and Flame Burst, Ice Spike, and Lightning Surge are now Blast Finishers.

(Flame Burst and Lightning Surge activate the finisher on the player)
