Guild Wars 2

I’m not sure if this should go into suggestion or the Elementalist forums.
The Glpyh of Elementals elite skill pop up, covers the entire vertical portion of the screen when mouse over. It would be great if the pop up would only reflect what attunement you are in.

Hmmm, do you think this is confusing for new players? I definitely think this warrants some kind of nerf, what do you think?

I think its confusing for all players, like a truck load of options. Either that or make the border around the attunment pop up selection thicker. Right now it is a thin white box indicating what attunment you’re in. I had to explain to several experience elementalist how to see which pop up is for them.

They should make to show with click 2 like other skills or traits.

That would be great, right click to look through the different options.

+1, got a laugh from me

But yeah, Glyphs are really very inconsistent with their tooltips, and the elite is just ridiculous now - it’d be nice if, as suggested above, right-clicking while hovering over the icon cycled through the other available tooltips, though the only thing that needs to be visible while the elemental is active is probably its own individual active effect.

They’re also inconsistent with the attunement they take their cast from, by the way - for example:
- Glyph of Storms will cast Lightining Storm if you start the cast attuned to Air and switch to Earth during the channel
- Glyph of Elemental Harmony will grant Protection if you start attuned to Air and switch to Earth before the channel is complete

IIRC (am not logged in right now) the heal and summons take their effect from the ending attunement, but the storm and res take it from the starting one. Before GoEP became an instant-cast stunbreak, it took its effect from the starting one too I think?

I guess this might be the first time anyone wanted to nerf a tooltip Might be good for a few laughs in the balance forum as well.

Anet corrected the issue last week, thanks Arenanet
