Guild Wars 2

what if ele staff damage skills were instant when you placed them ground target?
Would this help bring them in line with the current condi insta aoe cast?

only if your enemies are stupid enough to stay in the field. it would help a lot if we could get in at least 1 hit, but i don’t think it will make a significant change since most of the damage is from staying in the field

start with earth for cripple (earth 2 and/or 4) where they stand
watch their movement and cover the next with water 4
the fire 4 will surely hit them for more than 1 on the their zone

this combo hurts a lot (and lots of enemies) in wvw
