Guild Wars 2

What if Swirling winds could clear field / trap / marks from the ground.

That would be cool, but only on activation. So if you see a ranger lay down a bunch of traps in front of you, you can get rid of the ones you hit with your activation of swirly winds. I don’t think it would be fair if it lasted the full duration. (clearing traps/marks, etc)

It is a cool suggestion, and I really like the idea though.

I’m still in favour of Swirling Winds being able to destroy siege projectiles again. But, only a 30% chance. Bring alternative (i.e. not just staff) builds for ele back into the WvW meta.

First, no.

Second, the meta would not shift. If you would recall, all that would happen is that eles would swap to their foci to protect siege when needed (i.e. counter the counter trebs/catas), but then they would swap back to their staves when they’re done with that.

As far as the OP is concerned, I’m not too sure that having that sort of play is really necessary. Marks and traps can already be countered by dodging through them or blocking untraited marks. I don’t really think they need another way to be countered.

The field clearing idea is kind of interesting though, although I’d question as to whether or not it would even really be that useful in the first place. And what exactly would the extent of it’s effects be? Since shadow refuge is a dark field, would you just be able to dismiss a shadow refuge? Could you cancel a ranger’s healing spring or a necromancer’s well of blood, both of which are fields?

i thinking it be cool if it clear all field being other teams. so anything on the ground would get clear. of course with a aoe limit cap of probably 5 that way basically spamming stuff on the ground would not be ideal thing to do any more

So any field type + any trap + any mark is there any other type of ground field i am forgetting ?.

Can swirling winds still block treb shots on Kylo?

I’m going to say no, but I haven’t bothered to test it.

would pay money if swirling winds applied reveal to stealthed players in it.
