Guild Wars 2

Would it be to good if the cooldown started ticking the moment you summon the elemental and/or something like if it gets killed, the cooldown is reduced by x?
The x still to be determined to a fair number.

I think they should make it a permanent summon since it’s like 10 times weaker than a ranger pet. When it’s killed then it should go on cooldown.

60s cooldown starting at summon. So you can call a new when the old expires.
Best would be to make it easy to use and like a minion. So It stays and has CD when it dies.

That’s a great idea… as long as there’s a way to tell it to kitten off. The flame elemental has a habit of always getting in the way of my camera, like it knows where I’m looking.

Love this idea. CD starts when summoned and they stay until they’re killed. They shouldn’t “expire” anyway.

If they have to go, they should have a cool leaving animation like the Ember does from the Fire Elemental Powder summon. It just kinda up and flies away.

We’re not necros. I don’t want my elementals to unceremoniously drop dead.

Actually, the Necro minions (with a few exceptions) don’t have timers on them. Once they’re summoned, they stay until they die (at which point the cooldown starts). I wouldn’t mind a similar system for our Elementals.

The only issue with that comparison is that Necro’s have traits that rely on Minions. Elemental summons aren’t supposed to be as permanent or is their any traitline that affects them specifically (only the glyph used to summon them).
