Guild Wars 2

Does anybody else feel that there could be more lightning fields for ele?

Right now, there is Static Field (staff), Lightning Hammer (conjured), Lightning Cage (underwater), and Tornado (elite).

I would like to see two more options:

1. Swirling Wind (focus) does nothing to melee or non-projectile ranged attackers. If it became a lightning field, just maybe it would have the potential to do something to them if combo’d.

2. Glyph of Storms/Lightning Storm is what I think is an obvious choice. Although I’m talking mainly about lightning field, this has great potential to put down a fire and ice field (also too few skills) for the other attunements as well. It just might entice non-PvEers to make a glyph build.

It’s not like a lightning field is overpowered, since the ele does not have many finishers other than blast (which would yield swiftness).

For team combos, lightning fields can make for interesting effects for those not wanting to use staff, lightning hammer, or tornado.

1. I honestly don’t understand why Swirling winds is not a field when all similar skills like Wall of Reflection, Shield of Absorption, Feedback…have some combo field. I definitely think there should be one added to Swirling winds, too.
