Guild Wars 2

I was bsing with my guild last tight and we got to talking about how annoying light fields are. And I was like “You know, if I could get one new Grandmaster trait it would be to convert all our light fields to Fire field.”

Thoughts? Over powered or doable?

Hammer would be overpowered. The rest not so much. Think about it, with the extended symbols trait you have permanent symbol uptime even when you stop to blast every second AA. If you blast every second AA, that’s a Fire Blast every 7.5 seconds or so. That means on average you’re going to have 8 stacks of might, forever. On top of protection, forever. With some modest boon duration you can bump that up to 12 stacks easily. Two Hammer using Guardians could cap people out very quickly. It takes some spool-up time, but there would be no reason to ever use anything else. Might is supposed to come in bursts or waves, not be permanent.

I’d consider a trait that simply turned off our light fields so they didn’t block other fire fields and what not =).

Be able to drop symbol fo swiftness on a smoke screen without screwing up the smoke field.

Lots of situations where a light field seems more bad than good.

I do like the idea though, even like a 25% chance would be cool, hit it when you see the light field is a blue fire ring (like our fire fields).

I would love this… I could see this fitting in the zeal or virtues line
