Guild Wars 2

Think about it, heartseeker has the potential to do more damage than our fire grab does plus its got an auto homing beacon built in. Nevermind being spammable.

I’ve noticed strafing screws up fire grab targeting a lot and I for one would like even an ounce of the thief’s ez-mode aspects. Something like this would make it a bit more reliable.

IMO, more than anything Fire Grab just needs it’s cd shortened, though I don’t see anything wrong with your suggestion either. It can be rather annoying when you pop your 45 second cd and you miss, even though it visually looks like it should have hit.

Comparing heartseeker to fire grab enrages me. ):

Fire grab is so insanely hard to land. If anything even TWITCHES during cast time, you miss. To balance this out it should be on like a 10-15 second cd… Actually making it HIT would make the 45 second CD justifiable.

Landing most skills with Ele is generally a bit of a chore. I haven’t found another class yet that has to manually aim as many skills as the Ele does. Most class skills just track the target automatically or take them to the target or immobilize the target or have a large aoe radius and fast attack speed (read as – no cast times on melee abilities) so the attack isn’t easily avoided by merely taking a step or two in any direction.

Personally I just want the cast time on fire grab eliminated but if we’re going to hypothesize changes a Leap Finisher sounds cool but I think I’d rather it be an immobilize. I mean, it is a “Grab” after all… might make it easier to land that DT you casted 10 minutes ago.
