I think Glue Shot is pretty bad for a 25 sec cd skill, especially in PvE. It can be somewhat useful in some PvP situations but according to my (limited) experiences, better players get out of it / avoid it easily. Since it’s glue, it would be fun if it had an AoE poison effect with each pulse. Decrease cooldown to 20 seconds. Thoughts?

The need to do something with it.

It’s a short immobilize and immob is shrugged off by most classes these days anyway. It’s a slow fairly close-range projectile and it’s tricky to land without exposing yourelf to a lot of risk.

Ancient seeds, a druid trait that procs every 10s (20 in pvp) is waaaay better than our longest cooldown cc weapon skill. I’d like it to be at least that good. I’m thinking something more like the repeating immobs from that, but no damage – purity of purpose See also: Hammer 5 – long cooldown repeating cc at range.

The main problem IMO is the way the skill shoots – it’s utterly worthless in mobile combat (WvW, off point sPvP). You’ll rarely hit anything with it. The skill should be an actual targeted pistol shot that explode on impact, glueing the target and everyone around. The effect should be the normal immobilize, but if a daze is added it would be so much more usefull.
