Guild Wars 2

Mostly just posting this for fun because I’m bored and had an idea. With all the talk of specializations and pretty much all of them being revealed by this point, I was wondering what could be next and figured a ‘Fusionist’ would be a fun idea;

Unlike standard elementalists, Fusionists pick two elements to channel at the same time, when doing so they are granted a ‘fusion’ power, and their skill tray is altered so that the primary element being channeled occupies the 1-3 slot on weapons skills, and the secondary element occupies the 4-5 slot.

The fusion powers would be similar to the Tempest’s overload abilities, though is dependent on what two elements are being channeled at the same time;
Earth/Fire (or vice versa) = Molten Eruption – AoE burning and crippled
Earth/Water = Mudslide – Cone based knockdown and cripple
Earth/Air = Sand Blast – Cone Blindness and Bleeding
Fire/Water = Steam Jet – Cone Blind and Burn
Fire/Air = Smoke Cloud – AoE Blind and Torment
Water/Air = Cloudburst – AoE Chill and Knockdown

As for their new skills? I think something complimentary of the dual nature of the Fusionist would be fitting, so perhaps a Torch offhand and Wells? Using it as a tool of fusion with other elements

Fire:
Blaze Sphere – Traveling orb of flame that burns enemies
Burning Path – a linear path that burns and cripples enemies

Earth:
Mud Pots – cripple and burn enemies in an AoE radius
Earthen Fumes – bellow volcanic gas that applies poison and blindness

Water:
Steam Blast – blast an area with steam that heals allies and burns foes
Boiling Bolt – apply torment to a foe and knock him down

Wind:
Smog Cloud – create choking gas that torments and blinds foes
Thunderblast – explode an area to knock down and confuse enemies.

Wells:
Well of Vapor – create a ice field that heals allies over time and slows foes

Well of Magma – create a fire field that cripples and burns foes
Well of Storms – create a lightning field that grants swiftness to allies and chills foes
Well of Smog – create a smoke field that poisons and blinds foes
Well of Mud – create a water field that slows foes and applies weakness and torment

Well of Havok – create a poison field that poisons, torments, blinds and bleeds foes.

I personally don’t think it will happen.
I would say, for lack of a better word, Overload is going to be the then. Though I though of something that Berserker did with sword shot ting fireballs.
The weapon would be sword
Fire: Shot fire balls at target foe.
Water: would swipe in front of u and heal allies chill foes
Air: swipe knock back foes in fount of u
Earth: raise the earth blocking projectiles and can’t be past for x secs

As for r-skills don’t know think the will come up with new skills for next gen specializations

Someone posted a similar elite spec (Weaver) in a recent post, it’s the same idea of combining on-swap attunements.

I’ve never really stuck to elementalist mostly because it never felt as free-flowing to me. I’d like to manipulate more than one element at a time, or combine them, in order to have a more interesting playstyle.

That’s a good idea, and it makes sense. I hope ANet comes up with an elite spec for that!
