While I can’t say I like the fact these skills require channels to activate, I disagree wholeheartedly with the observation they’re worse now than they were before. People seem to forget the fact that the water elemental’s ability is a whopping 7K AoE heal. That’s completely bonkers, even if you have to wait a couple of seconds for it to activate.

Even crazier when you’re on comms with teammates in tpvp and you can call out an on-demand 7k heal for them.

I know it seems good, but the elemental takes a very, very long time to actually cast the heal. It is by far the most unresponsive thing I’ve seen in any game, and the huge cast time that the elemental has on the heal doesn’t help either.

If it actually started casting the heal within 3 seconds after commanding it to, it’d be great.

Delay before the elmental even STARTS casting it, huge cast time that starts with the knockback punch, and then a small radius around the elemental. It just adds up to about as useful as teets on a bull. By the time you need the heal you’re looking at about 5s, till it happens, and with an easily readable animation and the fact that the ele will run to their elemental to give them a group hug, pop a stability and use a knockback/launch on the ele and they won’t get their heal.
