It’s a useless trait, buggy and not working since beta, this trait should have been replaced with “Elemental Attunement” instead.

Now it’s a chance to delete it and replace it with something more worthy, and actually a working trait.

They called us TEMPESTs, but we can use our elite to cheat death instead

Just make it baseline! Other classes are getting multitudes of traits as baseline now anyway.

Lingering elements should work on more than just adept minor traits. It should work with all traits

Now that they’re getting rid of a lot of the “X damage while in Y attunement” traits maybe they will make it affect all traits, since I believe one of the main reasons they didn’t want to make it affect all traits before (or at least the one most people theorized to be the reason) was because it would allow you to stack multiple damage modifiers for insane burst damage. Which I never thought was a very good reason anyway, since you’d only end up getting a couple seconds of stacked mods every 15 seconds with the cooldowns and such, but whatever.

If it is going to remain as-is, though, I agree. It needs to go, its terrible.

lingering elements is one of the reasons i never trait into arcana. evasive arcana is the other reason i never trait into arcana. blasting staff becoming baseline after the update. i have ZERO reason to even consider traiting arcana ever again. imo, fury on attunement swap and elemental attunement are the only traits in arcana that are worth slotting. and i’m sorry, but if i have to take 4 bad traits to gain 2 good traits, it’s not worth it.

keep in mind that i don’t PvP with my ele, and arcana is mostly part of the PvP meta.

Can you imagine lingering elements working with Stone heart? You could almost never be critically hit, that would become so broken.

Lingering Elements should be the baseline and Elemental Surge should take its spot. Give us a new GM trait please!

I agree, make it baseline, then move Elemental Surge there, then make a weaker version (-20% boons duration, solo only) of Elemental Attunement in it’s place. Then change Elemental Attunement to provide 20% boons duration, and AoE boons.

They could always roll it into another trait, like Elemental Attunement (kind of makes sense in that place too) and that trait either needs a bit more love to be a GM or just replaced.

It is currently only works with Soothing Mist. So yeah, it sucks.

The funny thing is even soothing mist works for 8 seconds with or without lingering elements.
So no, even this doesn’t work with it.

I agree, Lingering Elements is just a placebo to make us believe we get a synergy from swapping attunements. The trait revamp should replace it with “Lingering Boons” to compensate us for losing boon duration when Arcana gets reworked (and loses the +% to Boons). With +20% to Boons, Elemental Attunement GM trait would at least have a fighting chance to compete with Evasive Arcana (and on a boon focused build).

TL;DR if someone already said this….

Remove LE and split the Elemental Attunement GM into the new 4 minors in Fire/Air/Water/Earth specs, scrapping the old garbage ones. Then you can proceed to create a new minor and GM for the Arcane line/spec that maybe has more to do with arcane skills/magic. Maybe the new minor increases the duration of the boons applied by the new minors???

I think Lingering elements would be a very good trait if it worked with other “on attunement” traits, making the attunement change a very nice thing to micromanage.
It would fit a fresh-air build very nice, making it able to use both water (piercing shards) and air dmg boosts if att swap is well done.
And yes, it could provide great synergy with stone heart for defense.

It makes perfect sense in arcana line, a line that promotes attunement swapping, by providing you the benefits from your spec attunements a bit further during your att rotation.

It just need to work.

It does work with it. Tested it ages ago. How much time it adds depends on when you swap out of water, because of how Soothing Mist works.
