Guild Wars 2

What would you like A-Net to add to ele that would help your condi build out?

I say if we had some access to poison maybe from a earth skill or something we wouldn’t be restricted to Sigil of Doom all the time. I could probably use some other sigil like Torment or w/e.

Share your ideas whether it be traits or sigils etc.

If you’re here to troll or insult you can close your browser now, goodbye.

i would like to see a non damage condi be turn into one with a trait, sort of like what nercos got.
I would say chill, but necros stole that idea,….. maybe cripple? :/
Or maybe a boon, like fury pulses aoe damage that increase with condi damage.

If you’re just getting poison to replace sigil of doom with torment, why not just get torment?

There’s lots of different ways to go about it

We seriously need some bleed support. All of our weapons have some bleeding in earth and we have a single utility that bleeds (signet of earth) and a ridiculously bad adept trait in earth, but that’s it.

Are you talking about Serrated Stones? I wouldn’t use that either… I wish they could improve on that somehow because I will definitely pick Earth’s Embrace from the 3 all the time.

To be fair, Bleed is pretty weak right now. We would need a lot of Bleed support to allow it to rival Burning.

I would love to see a trait that grants (2) might stacks on signet use. Would make running signets in my condi builds so much more rewarding!

Earthen Blast deserves some bleeding attached to it. An exciting duration/stack ratio.
Such as High stack / low duration bleeds.

So much of the elementalist bleeding is attached to some very long bleeds: Shockwave (1 stack; 20 seconds), Eruption (6 stacks; 12 seconds)Evasive Arcana Earth (1 stacks; 20 seconds), Ring of Earth (1 stack; 12 seconds).

I would like especially like to see Shockwave getting more stacks for a shorter duration. After all, it is a hard to hit (and to cast) spell on a 30 seconds cooldown. Right now, it’s a failed occasion to give it some “Ooomph!”

For instance, had I have the chance to redesign Shockwave, I would make it give 3 stacks of Bleed over 8 seconds while also thinking about decreasing the cooldown to 25 seconds or even 20 seconds.

Im my opinion, that’s the sort of changes the condition side of elementalist needs help with.

Ah. Serrated Stones. In PvP, this trait is perhaps below Inscription Tier; Inscription Tier is pretty, pretty low.
