Guild Wars 2

One of the most serious problems we have is the lack flexibility we need to be able to survive , we’re supposed to be a flexible class able to jump from one element to another when we really need it but because of our long CD linked our change of attunement its not possible. I propose is to change the CD to 2 seconds and put a 20 sec internal CD to all talents related to switch attunement, reducible via arcana. This way i think we could be what is supposed to be a jack of all trades. I also want to add a little twist to our class by adding the overcast ability,basically what I propose with the overcast is that whenever you are in an element you can activate the overcast related to that element in which case if you change attunement you cannot return to that element just only when the cd is over, for example let’s say i’m in water i activate my overcast creating a pretty decent heal but I change to earth, now I can go to any element except water until the water overcast CD ends,each element should have its own overcast CD , the CD can be reduced via arcana, with the possibility to add talents to improve the overcast , the CD that I think would be more correct is 20 or 15 seconds , the effects i suggest :

Fire : the next attack adds a fire nova efect 20 sec cd
Air : bolt of lightning 20 sec cd
Water: a heal in area of ??about 1000 20 sec cd
Earth : Magnetic shield 3 secs with a 20 sec cd (do not eliminate curses )

I think the proposed changes would make our class more flexible and effective it would give more sense to certain talents that only shorten the CD on certain elements , plus it effectively allow both specialization in one attunement or being a master of arcane and use all the attunements.

I doubt my solution is perfect but I think it would greatly improve our class
