Guild Wars 2

Wildfire, Water Globe and Sand Squall have way too long cooldowns, specially the globe.

I’d say to swap the Water Globe with Tidal Surge and reduce its cooldown to 25 seconds. And Sand Squall to 20 seconds, or give it a Blast Finisher.

Wildfire is hard to give a proper cooldown, its utility and huge AoE actually deserves a 40s cd, but that’s too much for Scepter eles, considering it’s their only fire field.

I agree with lowering the CD of wildfire, and putting a blast on sand squall. I think the water skills are fine with the cooldowns that were shown.

The Water Globe is close to Elixir Shell , which might be better or not, depending of the situation. But has smaller Radius and 66% longer cooldown.

They made the cooldown very long to make us use the new elite.

Yea warhorn needs at least 2 blast finishers like dagger and focus and sand squall is a good candidate for one.

Since the June patch, ele weapon cooldown traits in the other lines give 33% cooldown reduction, and that is usually bundled with another bonus for the attunement.
Water Globe would be almost 30 seconds and Sand Storm would be 20 seconds.
When you are asking for a 25 second cooldown, which would trait down to 16 seconds, do you still think it’s fair?

Good luck getting those traits when you need to pick tempest spec first, then probably arcane and water magic.

Warhorn cooldowns are not much different than most skill 4 and 5 ele skills. All are from 25 to 50 seconds.
