Guild Wars 2

With every utility/heal/elite getting a type (Glamour, Manipulation, ECT.) We’ll finally be able to reduce the cooldowns on our elite skills.

Timewarp – Glamour
Mass Invis – Manipilation
Moa Morph – Manipulation

This also extends to heals meaning Ether Feast may also become a manipulation. Anyone can math up what a 20% reduction would make our cooldowns? And does this change make you more likely to branch out?

TW – 144 seconds from 180
Mass – 72 seconds from 90
Moa – 144 seconds from 180

Ether Feast – 16 seconds from 20

Depending on whether or not Mirror gets a new classification as a glamour or manipulation, it could drop down to a 12 second cd. If it becomes reclassified as a clone skill it will remain the same at 15 seconds.

Shush, come up with your own Elite predictions.

Considering that Ether Feast is linked to Illusions while Mirror manipulates your opponent by reflecting projectiles I got a different guess for our heals, though. Ether Feast being a Manipulation doesn’t make sense to me. We also don’t have a heal which would properly benefit from Glamour traits so I don’t see this happening either.

I’m very excited about these changes.

Mirror makes most sense as a manipulation trait. I would mark Ether Feast as a clone trait, but that’s kind of weird since you aren’t actually producing any clones. Manipulation might be the best there as well.

You could see some interesting strategies utilizing on heal runes and Mirror. Might be worth it, but who knows.

Chronomancer could have a Glamour heal. A healing field that we drop on the ground would make a lot of sense if it’s a defensive/supporty spec, which seems likely.

How about reverse-confusion field that will heal allies on action instead of damaging.
Or a swarm of butterflies that would bounce on allies, healing, granting a random defensive boon and restyling their outfit.
Or immobile phantasm that slowly breaks into butterflies, healing nearby allies.

O.O
