Guild Wars 2

I think Tornado would be an awesome Elite Skill if it was just changed from the current Form into a targeted Skill (maybe even ground-target skill).

That way we would get more Elite options rather then going FGS for mobility or Summon for a tank.

… It’s been ask countless time
but then again… what can you expect when the dev in charge of ele thinks that a 10% buff while attuned to air is a good minor trait

What are you on about?It’s a great trait. It’s not like the 10% movement buff will be overwritten by swiftness, superspeed or signet of air all the time.

Oh wait.

Well they are going to make tornado into a skill type that ele has now the question is what will they changes about it if any thing.

Ideally it will let you still become a tornado but say if it was a sigent becoming a tornado on sigent use with a passive effect of something if you have it up or build for it to always be up.
If they go the cantrip way maybe some type of rampages as one like effect so you get stab and the knock back but you do not lose your skills.
The last would be an arcain and well if they go that way the stander tornado would be op (every hit would crit) so maybe that is where you would want it an arcain skill where you call a tornado at your ground target for say 3 sec.

Well they did say it’s going to Cantrips, but cantrips are insta-cast with no casting time so I dunno… I’d prefer it to be a target or ground-targetable skill. Makes much more in line with Eles, then turning into a Whirling object waiting to just get ranged down. I mean cmon it’s an Elite SKill.

Oh wait.

It would be good if those 10% topped the speed cap.

Hm, yeah but there is a reason why other movement buffs are not stacking. Making this stack would force them to stack other speed buff and it would certainly be broken.

Maybe Tempest will allow us to stack… I like getting my hopes high.

What I don’t know is why Tornado hasn’t been given the Rampage treatment. I’m not even talking about Ele. For trollz and lolz I’ve been running around on Engi with a heavy drinker elixir build and I cringe every single time I get Tornado instead of Rampage on Elixir X.

They will turn it into a Conjure. With 10 charges.

Meaning they’ll nerf it further by the way, so we end up using it more, you see…

Make it a cantrip and change one of the activated skills on it to “Hail Stones” that pulses short duration regen to friendlies near you and randomly launches ice projectiles that chill enemies and heal allies.

Rapidly cleanses conditions when traited and let’s you either heal up the back line or heal/support the bruisers.

It’s useless as an offensive cooldown, might as well make it defensive/support.
