Guild Wars 2

When you trait for Elemental Surge and use Arcane Power, it functions like GoeP right? If u use Arcane Power in Fire attunement then switch to earth attunement and use Glyph of Storms, it’ll bleed, blind, and burn, right? Or does switching to earth after u use Arcane Power make it immobilize along with the bleed and blind from GoeP?

Elemental Surge + Arcane Power cause Elemental Surge’s effect to trigger for your currently active attunement, not the attunement it was activated in (unless the attunement you activated it in is still your currently active attunement).

So, Arcane Power won’t maintain the burn from Elemental Surge if it’s activated in Fire attunement then swapped to another attunement afterwards? The effect of E.S +Arcane Power will change when I swap to another attunement after using it?

Precisely. Elemental Power makes each spell you cast count as arcane for the purposes Elemental surge, regardless of when you activate it.

dangit. I wanted my Sandstorm glyph do burn ppls but I did find out it was more effective than I thought it was. I might recommend using Glyph of Storms with staff in Pvp/hotjoins maybe

You could cast it in earth, then switch to fire and hit arcane power.

Yeah, the Glyph of Storms takes its effect from the attunement at start of cast, so you can switch earth->fire while casting the Glyph then pop your Arcane Power, as Fun Daddy says.

wouldn’t the constant immobilize be more useful?

the immobilize might be nice, but it only stacks like 3 times now? so its like a 3-4sec immob…

and oh, i see what cheese and fun daddy said.
