Guild Wars 2

Instead of the current one, where you need to be hit above 75% hp to cleanse a condi (1 second internal cd) I would like to suggest the following.
Reason for the suggestion is that an on hit mechanic, for a class like ele, doesnt work well in my opinion with a health cap as high as 75%.

New version:
Diamond skin.
It will proc once a condition is on you and will cleanse 1 condition a second for
X second duration and with an Y second internal cooldown
(the right numbers have to be determined).
No health cap.

This would be good for dps ele as well.

What do you think of this suggestion and why?

Any balance change they nerf the elementalist….last one before Diamond Skin was with the Ice Bow before that was Fire skill damage…….now the only thing is the Static fields and Water fields after that you can delete elementalist …as for water fields …just taking a look at PvE Raids no one want a elemenatlist just Druid..i wounder why Anet? lets see if you will find the answer. Now i really log in game for daily and and bye bye…no more gems from me until they dont fix this and WvW.

I would prefer if you keep the general complaints about Elementalist out of this thread.

I would want this thread to be about this diamond skin idea or some other good alternative for the current post patch one.

Honestly Yashuoa, I’ve started experimenting with Diamond Skin instead of Water traits on old-fashion fresh air elementalist, I find it a lot better in a few ways, it does have it’s downs however.
Pros:
One: You have a large amount of quick skills meaning you’ll heal pretty quickly.
Two: Invulnerability allows you to take time to proc fresh air, over and over, meaning more heals.
Three: Lower Invul/Reflect cooldowns from earth traits.
Cons:
One: You HAVE to be hit, invulnerability is a terrible choice when you are currently condition-bombed.
Two: Confusion as fresh air, is just a killer. Even with Diamond skin.
Three: You don’t have lower cantrip cooldowns/lower water cooldowns/ Soothing Mists.

Your idea is about the same just has a ‘duration’ for pulsing the removal.
My contribution however:
5 seconds of removing conditions on a 6 second cool down.

I do love the creativity so I will support this idea! -Waves-

Thanks.

About the same as?
Mine has no healthcap and an internal cooldown (numbers to be determined) though and procs the moment a condition is applied to you.

How would yours work? Its still a trait?
When does it proc?

You play with signet?
As you say quick skills makes you heal pretty quickly.

See i am thinking that they need to remove all ICD from ele and make them per person cd. So i would like to see diamond skin have no icd at all but to be like this you need to changes it.
I think diamond skin should be when you have protection you also get -% condtion dmg taken and longer protection duration. Water is the condtion removal line not earth. Earth is the higher def or dmg / other effect endures line not the reactive line.
No hp cap and maybe make the effect aoe for 5 ppl. I also think the tempest -7% dmg taken when you have protection should be aoe too. Think on the lines of other class only buffs that give +150 to something.

Gain 0,5-1s resistance each time you remove a condition.
