I want to state that i love the ele to death and am working towards an incinerator for him. 1500 hours played says something too. i used to main this char with great honor.. now its sitting on my log in screen.. ive alted to my thief and i am pretty sure when i get incinerator i will probably just store it, wait to see if ele does get some buffs.

Back to original subject- I want to see aura’s be more accessible! Mesmers get clones and phantasms, wars with burst skills, thieves with stealth, engineers with.. turrets i guess? probly toolbelt and kits , then theres rangers with pets, necroes with life force, and then guardians have virtues. The few things that seperates us from the rest is that
1- we are the only class with lowest armor and health
2- we have auras that we barely get to use
3- granted we do have 4 attunements, but due to the sub-par nature of our skills that we have, having double the amount of decent skills cannot really justify not having a good set of skills. so then there are conjure weapons which do not have a good system set in place at the moment, then auras.
4- All the other classes are almost centered around their special “thing”. Which is fine, but ele’s are no where near centered around auras. (a disparity i might add.)

It’s those 3 things that set us apart from the rest of the other professions. Give us more traits involving auras, make them our thing!! They don’t really feel that way to us. I sware this is all you would need to do to make ele better/fun again. the auras themselves are fine, they need no buffing what so ever. One thing tho, make then able to be stacked, just like stealth and multiple clones. That could help. And if auras ever did get buffed, all you would have to do to not make them game changing is only allow one or two on at a time.

So those are my two cents, take them or leave them. I look forward to good things for an ele in the future! Or atleast i hope.

I am a teef

It would be cool if all aura-skills were labelled as “aura”, we were given a glyph of elemental protection, which was also an instant-aura skill, we had a minor skill that reduced aura skill cast time by 20%. This is inspired by the mesmer “phantasm skills are reduced by 20%” minor skill.

Perhaps do this:
- Move bountiful power to arcana 25
- Make water 25: aura skills cast time is reduced by 20%
- Add aura-glyph skill (perhaps a stun-break, and/or with a variable cooldown depending on which aura you use)

This would be more fun to use auras.

I dont really see the fuzz about Auras.. i’m running a staff ele, and i am loving it! being able to swap to earth to set a combo finisher, and lay a field on top of it is just heaven!! And i have seen so many d/d or s/d eles who cant stop running auras -.- they’re almost untouchable the way they’re running around.

My build revolves around auras and protection. However the only aura that this works with is Fire Aura which is not as good as the other auras.

I would like to see more access to the others, but cds I think is the wrong way about it (shocking aura already has a 25 second cd and wrecks melee classes).

The only Aura that could use a change or cd reduction is Fire Shield (focus fire 5) as it has a 40 seconds cd and is no where near as potent as Frosty (same cd) or Lightning aura (15 seconds less).

Scepter is the only weapon that doesn’t have access to an aura (it does through off hand). As it stands it looks difficult to jam an aura in there, though it would be nice to get 2 auras when not using D/D.

Something like a trait: Staff and Scepter now have an additional aura, Scepter: Gain frosty aura when using Trident (or gain fire aura when using phoenix). Staff: Gain fire aura when using Burning Retreat.

Of course with the above suggestion balancing would be an overall nerf to auras (2x frost aura when using S/D would be over the top).

I wouldn’t mind seeing the GW wards coming back.
Ward of Stability
Ward of Weakness
Ward against Melee
Ward against Foes
Ward against Elements
or even this for an elite too
Ward against Harm
