Guild Wars 2

I propose the following two changes:

1) Make Lightning Flash a 1200 range like a Mesmer. As it stands now,
900 is lackluster.

2) Glyph of Storms: Make the range 1200 in tune with staff ranges.

Personally, I see number 1 the most needed, but as a staff user I think
number 2 would be much more practical.

They would probably do it if but would remove the damage portion of it since it potentially does more damage than arcane blast(just not a guaranteed crit). It is also good to remove aegis and blinds and clutch kills on runners.

With that said if I had to chose I probably would take a Lightning Flash with no damage and 1200 range over it’s current form.

Same.

But remember that Mesmer’s Blink is only 1200 if traited.

Very true it is usually 900 range and not alot of mesmers actually take the trait. Phantasms have fury and blade training share same tier and are way better than that trait. It would be like putting a range increase to lightning flast in the same tier as zephyr’rs boon or throwing a trait like that anywhere in water.

Ah yea, didn’t realize lightning flash did damage. Yea, I would rather
have more range and lose the damage.

No way. I’ll take the 1-2k damage I get off it over 300 range any day.

Actually, you can deal 3-4k with it so I would rather have it like it is now. Having the stun breaker back would be nice though…

Or 1200 range by default with damage no stun breaker now that would be sexy. The no stun breaker is just a compromise.

The only thing that either of those skills truly need is respective cool-down reductions.

Glyph of Storms: make it do 5 times more damage to be worth using
Lightning Flash: Make it a stun breaker again

Uh, do you even use glyph of storms? Fire and lightning could use a little love I suppose, but earth and water are great (ESPECIALLY earth).

I like my LF as is, only thing I’d like to see is that if I click and I’m out of range to teleport as far in that direction as possible instead of nothing at all.

I’ll take the stun break over the damage. forget range

.

anyway, THIS

only thing I’d like to see is that if I click and I’m out of range to teleport as far in that direction as possible instead of nothing at all.

is the only important point

also show the out of range indicator when it’s not going to teleport me to my destination due to terrain

I’d rather have an elite version of glyph of storms. As for lightning flash, they either need to increase the damage and range, or put the stunbreaker back on. Either way, the cooldown needs to be reduced, its still too long.

Yeah, but Blink is also a stun-breaker with 10 secs lower CD, I would trade that for the damage portion of flash anytime, anywhere….

It’s hard to really balance. Burning Speed + LF is already a pretty potent combination at 900 range and i welcome the added damage. But I would love 1200 range on D/D and remove the damage as a tradeoff.

900 range on S/D or Staff feels right. Chaining a Lightning Flash with a 1200 range is already strong. As with S/D bursts at 900.

Completely agree with Glyph of Storms though, I feel that should be 1200 range. I only ever use it on Staff Ele in WvW sometimes and the range feels out of place.
