Guild Wars 2

Judging from the artwork, I will attempt to be Nostradamus and figure Tempest works like this:

F5 summons a storm based on the element you are in at a target location. Pressing F5 again lets you move the storm to another location. There will likely be a charge bar that will need to be filled before you can summon the storm. The bar drains as the storm is in play.

The bar is probably charged by casting spells or something more interesting like gaining boons.

Each storm does something different.

For example, the wind storm might grant quickness to allies in the location where it is first summoned. After that allies that run through it gain swiftness while enemies that try to run through it get crippled and are dealt lightning damage if the storm hits them while it is moving. Enemy projectiles that are fired into the storm are devoured and the storm spews a bolt of lighting in a random direction. Each storm would be a mobile combo field of the element that it is.

The firestorm might draw a trail of flames when it is moved, counting as a fire field. It would burn enemies it touches and grant might to allies that stand inside it. It would grant fury and deal heavy aoe damage at the area where its first summoned. When the storm ends it would fling fireballs around the area that it’s in.

You get the idea. Storms would have interesting effects: a primary effect when first summoned, an effect when still, an effect when moved from one place to another, and possibly an effect when ending.

Based on experience we won’t even get an F5 or any new mechanic at all. Getting 8 new weapon skills will be our “mechanic”.

Where is this experience coming from? The previous specialization we received?

How elementalists have been treated since the release of the game.

I think they may be adding chains to the autoattack, which is what we saw in the leaked skills. That and flaming toots
