Guild Wars 2

so i did post smth similar in the proffession balance forums, but it had barely some views and went into the third page, probably posted it in a bad time.. anyway, i will get to the point right away

to make conjures and one trait viable :

change conjure earth shield into a stunbreak

make conjures instant cast, or at least the earth shield only

increase the duration of haste of the ‘one with air’ trait to 3 – 4 sec so its actually usable at all, i do like the idea behind it but the duration is way too short
(http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/One_with_Air)

i dont think any of those would be op at all and still would be underused, but it would be a good step to make more stuff viable!
thats all !
bye!

Conjure Earth Shield: this could really help the weapon. Currently it’s not used anywhere at all ever. Even a stunbreak with a 1/2 second cast time could make it more useful.

One with Air: no, not at all. It would be completely broken for anyone running Fresh Air, giving 80% superspeed uptime.
The trait is terrible right now (though definitely more useful than it was before), but I think it needs a rework to something more like “move 25% faster while attuned to air” and hopefully letting it work under Lingering Elements. The Adept Minor would become completely obsolete for anyone running that trait… but it’s really not useful now anyway.

Excellent suggestions. Particularly the earth shield one. +1

dont forget max speed is capped at 33%, it would be great against cripple tho, doesnt work on immob anyway, and on chill the mainproblem is the attunement recharge, not the movement

and to get 80% uptime u would need to cycle thro attunements rly fast missing a lot of important skills

and u would sacrifice bolt to heart or air training in a standard fresh air build

but ye even 2 s is fine actually

if someone says that would make earth shield op , no, the invulnerability of earth shield doesnt let u do anything besides beeing invulnerable, in mistform u can stomp /rez, in arcan shield u ckittene skills etc, in earth shield u r just invulnerable (skill 5)

so its pretty much situational , each skill.

and thx for the support!

Really like the stunbreak for Earth Shield. Excellent idea.
