Guild Wars 2

So I love the idea of water attunement giving an aoe stackable regen buff for 5 points. It isnt huge, but its a nice little nod to the fact that we switch attunements and lets you swap out of water to do something else while stuff recharges and still generate some heal.

just spitballing here, what if we changed the first minor traits in ALL trees to do something similar?

This would boost our damage and support, and make attunement swapping a little more innately rewarding. The arcane 10 point trait is nice, but the area of it is VERY small.

These wouldn’t count as boons, so the duration couldnt be extended in any way. I dont know if soothing mist currently stacks with other elementalist’s soothing mists. so if soothings dont stack, these wouldn’t either. but it ought to, really, so you can justify having multiple elementalists and getting benefit from them (other than massive field combo spam, which i feel really is overlooked).

Fire: 5 point minor trait. Aoe Buff – 9 seconds. “fury light” buff. or, all attacks have a small chance to cause burning.
Air: 5 point minor trait. AoE buff – 9 seconds, minor crit chance buff.
Earth: 5 point minor trait. Aoe Buff – 9 seconds, minor toughness buff.

hmm.. all traits that say get X while in Y are supposed to work that way…
thats why the 5 sec linger in arcane is nice.

thats why the 5 sec linger in arcane is nice.so technically +10% damage while attuned to air works for 5 secs after attuning to fire.
It may not actually work that way but as i understand it… its supposed to.

Air would be cooler if it was a swiftness buff.

as it is, you can get perma swiftness with a combination of traits and use of skills.

Yeah but it’d be an area buff.

it kinda is now with attunement change / staff spam but it is a teensy area. i dunno. a semi-quickness would be nice so my spells didnt take ages to reach their target and/or activate (barring d/d)
