Guild Wars 2

To me the staff is a good weapon technically but it feels very inactive and kinda passive.
Adding A second portion to the skill would add some fun to the weapon.

My Idea?

Chaos Armor
Chaos Explosion-Explode your chaos armor damaging your enemies and grant boons to allies.

Your ideas?

To be honest just reducing its cool down from 35s to 20s would be enough in my opinion.

Other have already suggested a version of chaos armor, where you grant it to 5 ppl rather than just yourself. I’d like to have that one.

What I also would like to see is that chaos armor in general gets buffed to a personal chaos storm like version. So you always get random boons for a SHORT duration, per second.

That actually sounds awesome – detonating your Chaos Armour to damage or apply conditions to enemies and grant boons to allies.

Reminds me of Annihilation Field, Barrier or Tech Armour in Mass Effect 3 multiplayer.

I really like it.

if you cancel the random boon/condition when you get hit and replace it with explosion than you have like 5 sec with nothing
if you still save the random boon/condition it might be too strong for condi mesmer atm

so if the explosion will give boons only to ally than it can be nice for support build and also when ally blast choas field and get chaos armor the explosion will give so much more boons sharing which again might be too strong depande on the boons

so lets say i love the idea but it has to be something like this
after 5 sec the armor will explode blind enemies and granting 1 might (3 sec), 1 resistance (1 sec), 1 retaliation (2 sec) to allies, 180 radios

so if condi mes want to blind he will need to rotate the chaos armor as they can stack leaving it with 1 explosion only. so 5 sec after the another to create explosion.
for support the same which give boons

Flipover available for 1sec after chaos armor usage:

Chaos Surge:
- Remove chaos armor from yourself in a spectacular way.
*Ends chaos armor, causing blind and confusion in a blast finisher.

Would give staff a decent way to proc area chaos armor, or simply a blast finisher.

Could probably reduce chaos armor recharge, then have the flip over skill increase its recharge by 50% to help prevent double tapping being the only way to use it.

Run into a bansh- err… Daredevil? Detonate your tech, wait, Chaos armor.

(Enemy transfers a Boon to you for every hits on your chaos armor. )
That would be perfect on does high speed pressure builds.

lol, someone remembers tech armour for everything. xD

We all know staff only exists for phase retreat.

Those other buttons are just there to make pretty effects.

Ummm… you can do this by blasting in chaos storm or any other ethereal field.
