Guild Wars 2

Hey guys.

Anyone ever used the “I” trait in earth for toughness on channeled abilities?

Thinking of a condi/staff zerg bust build and im deciding between putting 20 in earth or go the norm 10/30/30.

ofc im picking up earths embrance, but the staff ele only has 1 aura (magnetic aura) and that doesnt justify using elemental shielding enough for me. So obsidion focus is the next logical choice.

Love some feed back, thanks guys.

Sadly Obsidian Focus isnt that good because “channeled” skills do not exist on staff, but its great for the “breath” dagger channels and Churning Earth’s channel.

what do you mean?

staff has plenty of channeled abilities.

everything from Fire – #1, #2, #3, and #5. Water – #2 through #5, and most of the earth skills as well.

Lightning is the attunment with the overall fastest casted abilities.

Unless i am mistaken thinking something that requires a casting bar is a channeled ability?

is an ability only “channeled” if u are immobilzed while using it?

For the purposes of the trait, Meteor Shower is the only skill that is “channeled.” Nothing else the staff uses will trigger the trait. If this were improved to help skills with a cast time of more than 1 second (random value as an example) the trait would be much better.
