Could it be possible to make Sunspot, Electric Discharge & Sunspot activate in combat only? It’s getting really tedious to always have to fight the local wildlife whenever I swap to Air for a Swiftness boost.

Simple solution. Turn off autotarget. It makes the game a lot easier to play.

This is just a bug with swapping to air attunement … it’s not related to these traits. Regardless of what you do or don’t have traited, you’ll attack stuff (often the first hit will be from the attunement you were in before air) when you swap to air.

No, it’s not related to the skills. Try swapping to Earth when standing near critters and you’ll notice they get hit. The idea of the ability is nice, but it tags everything in range to be hostile when you’re merely swapping attunements.

There are plenty of abilities, like Evasive Arcana for example, that only trigger while in combat. I don’t see how AoE around you abilities are any different from those.

The word you are looking for is harder. I need my mouse for mouse look, I can’t be clicking on targets every 2 seconds.
