Guild Wars 2

One of the most frustrating experience in Orr as an Elementalist is dealing with additional adds as you’re already engaging a mob. It also highlights an issue with Burning Speed, the difficult of setting up its burst so that its PBAOE lands on the target.

Yes, there’s Ride the Lightning and Updraft, but I have it bug out on me more often than not due to pathing issue which basically eliminates two lifelines I had at my disposal just to set up a standard burst.

Arenanet devs, would it be possible to fix Ride the Lightning’s pathing issue AND also copy the ability’s characteristics of pathing straight to the target and ending ON TOP of the target over to Burning Speed?

It’s a frustrating experience, having to blow two lifeline skills, or use Signet of Earth, just to set up D/D’s burst. Especially in Orr where everything either grabs you, cripples you, immobilizes, or runs as fast as the Road Runner. This makes it a frustrating experience being able to put enough distance between you and your target to get your Burning Speed to end right on top of your target so meaningful burst damage can be delivered. It’s doubly worst in PVP, WvW, where every lifeline utility skill and ability counts and you’re throwing it away just to set up a burst.

Ultimately this is a quality of life improvement. A massive one. Arenanet, I hope you’ll take this into consideration.

Thank you very much Arenanet, the GW2 experience has largely been a pleasant one so far.
