Guild Wars 2

Glyph of Elementals and Glyph of Lesser Elementals should have their cast times reduced. Each carries a 1.25 second cast time. I find that the Elementals are most useful when brought up simultaneously. This means a full 2.5 seconds spent trying to bring them up. Not so much of a problem if you pre-cast them but it’s a little tricky mid-combat.

Thoughts?

Personally, I’ve never had a problem with their casting times. You can summon them while moving anyway and 2.5 seconds really isn’t that much. Especially when, like you said, you can cast them beforehand. Also note that most summons have a similar or lengthier casting time.

They have great recharges, excellent durations and much versatility…I can live with a cast time like that.
