Can we get this elixir to apply resistance for 1s per condition converted? Same with the toss.

If long duration of resistance would be considered OP for the elixir itself because you could get like 8s of resistance then at least give resistance for the toss function, because that only converts 2 conditions. But then, make it 2s of resistance per condition converted being a possible total of 4s resistance.

Would be good for teamplay as well.

If long duration resistance would be considered OP, then demon revenant needs to be completely redone. They have something like 50%+ uptime (PvP) with the right traits, stats, and rune.

I think this is a great suggestion for making elixir C a more competitive elixir option instead of everyone always using s and/or b. I guess u is used on a few builds, too. I never see C, though, and rarely r.

Elixir C is already one of the most potent competitive abilities in the Engineer’s kitten nal.

Granting additional boons to this skill is practically begging to see it nerfed out of the game.

This said, your proposed change would certainly make the skill more attractive for PvE, where other Elixirs currently completely outclass C as you rarely need more than an occasional cleanse.

TL;DR: only as a PvE exclusive change.

Elixir C is fine. If they change it to give resistance per condition on you then it will do just that and only that. You will then immediately get boon stripped by the necro that you are obviously facing and then proceed to die an immediate and tragic death.

I would not want them to touch this skill with a forty foot pole.

Agreed. Low cooldown with Alchemy, Toolbelt skill removes one condition and converts 2 more, low cast time, it’s a very strong skill. I don’t think it needs any kind of buff. Look at Signet Of Stamina on Warrior. 60second cooldowns and removes all conditions. The signet only removes the conditions while Elixir C turns the conditions in to positive effects yet has nearly half the cooldown with HGH and less of a cast time.

Very good skill, doesn’t need buff IMO. It gives Resistance when converting Chill anyway.

Elixir C without stunbreak is useless for pvp
