Guild Wars 2

My personal list of skills/utilities that should change drastically, they should create new play styles without destroying the current ones.

Skills

-Dragon’s tooth: make it instant like comet, halve the dmg and burning duration, but make it “instant” like comet and also drop the casting time

-Shatterstone: change to 6s cd, now applies 3s cripple, reduced time for the ice to shatter

-Dust devil: remove the blind and add single target knockback, 25s CD

-Flamestrike: burning reduced to 1s, base dmg increased(100 to 300, coefficient increased from 0.3 to 0.375), reduced casting time( from 1 1/4s to 1s )

-Ice shards: base dmg decreased from 180 to 100, now applies 1s vulnerability for 4s

-Stoneshards: base dmg increased to 240 from 150, coefficient increased from 0.40 to 0.60

-Freezing gust: now applies 4s chill and 8s weakness, if enemy suffering from another condition , it deals 2x dmg, 35s CD, base dmg increased from 80 to 400, coefficient increased from 0.20 to 1.0

-Firewall : base dmg increased from 30 to 400, coefficient increased from 0.1 to 0.9

-Gust: now it is a PBAoE knockback

-Shockwave: AoE immobilize, 1200 range, 3/4 activation time, 240 radious

Utilities

-Ether renewal: 1.5s activation time, 4 pulse -4 conditions removed

-Glyph of elemental harmony: casting time reduced by 1/4s

-Glyph of elemental power: remove the “every 5s application” increase trigger chance to 50%

-Glyph of storm: base dmg increased from 123 to 600 , add coefficient of 0.9

-Signet of fire : remove the burning , add 3 stacks of torment for 8s

-Signet of water : now applies 4s chill+6s cripple

-Conjures: CD decreased from 60s to 20s, auto-attacks don’t consume charges, can be dropped without breaking them so they can be re-taken from the floor

-Tornado : now reflect projectiles

-Conjure elite: firestorm – dmg increased from 240 to 800 with 0.8 coefficient; eruption ( now can move while casting it, 280 radius ); fiery whirl ( base dmg increased from 220 to 600, coefficient increased from 0.4 to 0.7)

What are your thought?

Really , most of ele players using d/d because it’s the best choice we have beside alot of “dont know what do to with” skills.The devs really need to take a look on this if they want us play somethings else ,but not another d/d cantrip nerf.

Dragon’s Tooth : That would be bad for PvE, but good for PvP. That would still not make fire sceptre good in PvP so more change would be needed to make that change meaningful. Until then, that would make more harm than good.

Glyph of Storm : I can agree with a small boost in dmg but not a 387% boost. That would make this a powerful burst dmg skill almost as good as Meteor Shower which is suppose to be one of the best burst dmg skill for the Elementalist. 200-300 base dmg could be ok, but not more than that.

-Conjures : The CD and charges consume is good as they are. The CD will make Icebow so much OP as you could use Ice Storm every 20s, which is insane. Icebow is already a big source of burst dmg, it don’t need a boost. The charge thing will make LH almost unlimited as you only use the auto-attack anyway. For the thing about being able to put the LH back on the ground and pick it up later, that’s would be awesome. That would make conjure more easy to use and less frustrating sometime. (Looking at you pugs that take my LH when you pick up your loots)

- FGS : It depend on what you want to create. The buff to fiery rush will make the corner stacking come back as the one tactic to rule them all and its not good. You could either boost firestorm like you write. That would make the FGS like the Frost bow. You drop it, use firestorm/fiery rush, then drop it.

Another option is to boost firestrom a little less, but buff other skill as well (other than fiery rush) . That way if you use it all, it will be a dps increase over you standard weapons set, but it won’t be a burst fast burst like the Frost bow.
