Deal 20% damage while attuned to water. If Water Attunement is on cool down, you gain regeneration.

Something like this would actually make me use those traits (I almost never choose them outside of fire damage)

Maybe not those number exactly, but something like this would add a bit of synergy the Eley so desperately needs across traits. Could be a bit OP if you just run through your attunements to get the bonuses…I dont know.

Hey! Finally some ideas for the Elementalist that sound good; it still requires you to use some brain matter to use these bonuses.

20% is a bit much, unless you make it a tier three trait (even then, that’s a lot of damage), which would mean you could only get two of the four. I like the idea, but as you said, the numbers would need some tweaking.

Also, make it damage/healing please, not just damage.

My warrior did > 3k crits at level 29.
How can you say 20% of the most kittened damage in game be “bit much” is beyond me. We’d still deal less than what other classes do with 1 keypress and in abilities they are not even specced for.

No, he didn’t.

Hyperbole helps no one, stop using it.
