Guild Wars 2

Arcane Attunement should be 9 seconds BASELINE, and the Arcane trait bonus should be changed. The class is supposed to be about Attunement dancing, yet we are forced into one tree to actually do this properly.

This is an extremely poor design and needs to be changed.

yes yes yes and more yes. as iv been saying in other posts we feel force into 30arcane due to swaps being to slow. iv played around with alot of builds with DD and u need that swap speed

There are several major issues, this being one of them. The only thing that got fixed was the conjures, though it’s still up in the air wheter it will work.

However, the changes to Tornado makes me wonder if Anet gets any of the real issues at all…

iv been trying them to only weapon that feels ok now is FGS thats it, others cant go pound for pound with nothing, in any form of pvp.. even then its just ok

True, but I believe Attunement recharge is the biggest issue. If this was ‘fixed’, then all the stupid single attunement specific traits we have might (probably not) be usable, and we could actually feel free to spec differently without hamstringing ourselves.

But yes, Elementalists still have far too many issues that are ignored, and that Tornado change shows just how disconnected Anet are from the reality of Elementalist balance.

yeah it kinda does feel that way i mean hell windborne dagger been broken since beta so i do hope they fix us i really like the hyper aggressive play style of DD…

Lol, you dont need 30 arcana… The attunements gcd is fine even with 10 in arcana. Just stay a bit longer in your current attunement and time your switches and you’ll be fine.

I’m more upset by the fact that my DPS is cut in half because of the blast finish might stack…

Going to be brutally honest here: you have no idea what you are talking about. GCD? Do you even know what that means?
