Guild Wars 2

The 75s CD is insane! This skill should be 50s CD max and this is why:

1) N1 defensive skill for fresh air eles against thieves

2) Normal celestials won’t benefit the most out it, d/d build normally used 3 cantrips of which are : cleansing fire/lightning flash and armor of earth, whichever one an ele may decide to substitute in favour of a reduced CD of arcane shield, will surely impact on the overall survival as they won’t benefit as much from soothing disruption trait

3) In case an ele would decide to use the arcana skill reduction trait, then they will lose access to renewing stamina and I don’t see any fresh air ele doing that

4) This utility has ample counterplay…it only explodes if you keep attacking, a defensive skill necessary to buy some time.

What are your thoughts?

I agree with all points, especially second one is strong argument for this, we need to buff ele survivability, but not for the cantrip builds, arcane shield is one of the options… but 50sec could be a bit too short, I would go with 60sec maybe? it would still be good change

Guess a 60s CD it’s the max we can get away with, fair enough, I’d be happy if they reduce the base CD by at least 15s

A 60 second cooldown would be really nice considering the short duration and 3 hit limit of the skill.
