As im prety sure our downstate together with bunker specs will get nerfed this patch i would like to see a buff for our fire and air major traits. The fact almost noone is going full in into fire or air is proof enough this needs some reworking. Im not gona be teribly creative here so i would leave the same traits in but just buff their effect so ppl have some incentive to actually take them over the arcane and water ones and we start seeing a bit more dmg ele builds.

Burning rage: now the fact that some proffesions get traits like increase dmg 10% if target has cond. on them is reason enough this should be buffed to 10% on burning target.

Persisting flames: i would increase the duration to 50%

Pyromancers Puissance: very weak as it is (u can get something like 5-8 stacks for 5s which isnt really a big dmg increase)so i would buff it to 10s might with each spell.

Weak spot: again could do with a slight duration increase.

Grounded: Besides the burning rage this is the most important one i think and it should be working with knock back aswell so u could actualy combo it with updraft.

Temptest defense: is terible i think, it doesnt work against many atacks even in close range, its countered by stability and range and skills that have evade on them. It helps you maybe 1 out of 10 times so besides making shocking aura work against all atacks in close range i would also maybe reduce the cooldown to 60s. As the squishiest of all clases when going burst dmg we need some more good defensive options and this is seriously underpovered when u compare it to lets say a thief or mesmer equivalent trait.
Another good option might be lightning flash out when disabled on a 90s cooldown which would be similar to the thief trait.

Its pointless to expect all of this to be put ingame, it might be a bit op if it was
but i would really like to see atleast the grounded, burning rage and temptest defense change which would be enough i think to see more dmg ele builds.
