Guild Wars 2

just fun little theory crafting

Tempest
Weapon: Mainhand Sword
Utility skill: Mantras
Mechanic: Overloading, but instead of the current poorly thought out one, the overloads act as warrior burst skills but have longer cast times, and they push you out of an attunement. The cast time for an overload is 1.25 seconds and the intensity of its affects are scaled proportionally to how much Elemental Energy you’ve accumilated. 1 second after cast for 1 bar of EE, 2 for 2 bars, 3 for 3 bars. 3 bars of EE is equivalent to 30 EE. You gain 1 elemental energy when direct damage is dealt to you.

Minor Traits:

Singularity: You can now overload attunements, which blasts your elemental energy violently from your current attunement, and attunes you to your most recent attunement you previously in. Overloading attunements generates an effect based on the attunement you are in while overloading. Fire: Blast enemies around you violently with a sharp inferno that burns anyone who touches it. Water: Command the clouds to generate a healing hail that chills enemies hit and heals allies. Air: Command the sky to strike your enemies with a series of blinding flashes. Earth: Command the ground to quake in a disorienting pattern that knocks down enemies in your range.
Elemental Brawler: Protection’s intensity is increased by 20% while under your influence.

Sharp Torrent: Each auto attack makes you generate 2 elemental energy.

Adept Traits:

Arcanic Attrition: Overloading an attunement grants a boon while overloading and a condition upon finishing the overload.
Fire: 5 might for 8 seconds, 3 burn for 5 seconds. Water: Regen for 10 seconds, 3 seconds of chill. Air: Swiftness for 10 seconds, weakness for 5 seconds. Earth: Stability for 3 seconds, immob for 2 seconds.
