Guild Wars 2

So I tried two new traits of the ele. One is air IV which is supposed to grant you super speed if you attune to air. I see absolutely no difference.

Second is the new cleansing fire trait, which is supposed to trigger if you have 3 conditions on you. Just did a round of Ascalon and couldn’t notice the trait working. Had a lot of conditions on me, no automatic removal.

So, for me it seems like this kitten is not working at all. Anyone else had the same experience?

Superspeed is only noticeable if you don’t have swiftness up or if you are in combat. Movement speed has a hard cap.

Super speed only work in combat and the duration is so short it makes no difference.

Cleansing fire does nothing unless you have the cantrip equipped, then it uses it for you. The reason why someone would want this is beyond my understanding.

At some point, you start asking yourself if Anet is making fun of elementalist players. Why the kitten would you use such a trait?

That isn’t right I don’t think? The trait has a separate cooldown and has nothing to do with the utility. You probably didn’t notice because it is such a garbage trait and activates at often silly/useless times then goes on cooldown.

Edit:^or it’s bugged, haven’t tested

haven’t tested it either but I seriously can’t think that it’s intended to work as described by Xillllix

Well, I tested it by letting a ranger give 3 conditions to me in PvP in a clean 1on1 environment. You see the animation but somehow, you still have all your bleeding stacks.

So, it’s either intended to be a crap trait or it just doesn’t work. Also, in the tooltip of Air IV it says nothing about being in combat. Seems that there are professionals working on the ele traits.
