Guild Wars 2

The new changes to the Tempest are in keeping with the overall philosophy of the Elementalist; squishy and high DPS. It also allows the ele to play as a healer and other group support (e.g. might). I really liked the changes and make the profession much more survivable, like shorter casting times.

Yes its close. Some things are open.

Traits:
Latent stamina is in the wrong place. Suggestion: Should trigger on shouts or auras.
Earthen proxy is weak. Suggestion: a flat 20% boon duration that adds to WH if you go for boons.
Speedi conduit feels like a placeholder. I would add base speed or even give flat 33% and not bother with another swiftness boon that makes button mashing more anoying.

Overloads:
Water overload suffers from 5sec wait and also 20sec CD hardest. Don´t know how to make that useful outside of water camping healer specs.

Shouts:

20% CD reduction is burning under the nails.
Flash freeze should be instant. (Maybe even shok/aftershok)
Condi removal on wash the pain away pulses would be great.
Rebound is still a weak elite. Either push healing or reduce CD significant.

WH: We don´t know what will happen to heat sync. If that shares all excep quickness wh is in a good spot.

Pretty much this. If the point of Tempest is to be tanky through aura healing then they need to focus on that, Latent Stamina doesn’t actually fit this theme. I’d love to see a trait which reduces Shouts’ CDs and warhorn’s CDs.
