Guild Wars 2

Here is my list of bugs I found playing as my ele, some of which effects greatly SPvP Performance, traits, and some very few are aware of and are playing with builds with useless traits/stats.
————————————————————-
-Soothing Wave
This trait grants regen to frost bow on use, sadly, we don’t get get the boon. So running “Cleansing Water” (remove condition when granting regen to you or allies) with this trait means I’m NOT gaining both my regen+condi remove and my 2nd bows regen+condi remove.

-Frost Bow
1. Audio on “Frost Volley” can be heard 6 shots when only 5 are made.
2. Ice Storm’s tooltip mentions only dmg, not mentioning it hits multiple times.
3. “Deep Freeze” skill is: “Encase your target in a block of solid ice.” Their is a delay befor seeing the chill condition and the skill does also not state that you cannot perform actions(like a stun) nor break stun out of it.

-Pyromancer’s Puissance
The traits text sais: “Each fire spell you cast grants you might” when what really happens is, during combat, gain might for each spell/skill/utility/attunement switch you peform. Many people can’t see the glory of this trait because of it’s unaccurate text.

-Lingering Attunements
“Flame Barrier” and “Soothing Mist” traits stay active for 5 seconds as it should after leaving that attuenement, yet “Stone Flesh” and "Zephyr’s speed instantly stops on switching

-Fiery Greatsword
Not as important as the others, but using skill 4(Fiery Rush) without target followed by Lightning Flash(Teleport) onto a target will create a pinpoint fire trail creating massive tick damage at once.
————————————————————-
Superior rune of Rage and Strength does not grant the 5% dmg while Fury/Might is active, also the Superior rune of speed does not grant 25% bonus movement speed.

Superior Sigil of chilling does not increase it’s respective chill duration.

It would be fun to know when they plan on fixing this.

Arcane Lightning increases Critical Damage by 5%, not 10%.

And Pyromancer’s Puissance should instead read, “You are granted one stack of might for each spell you hit while in fire attunement.”

Zeon.8239:

Arcane Lightning increases Critical Damage by 5%, not 10%.

I didn’t find AL to be worth it at 10%, considering it only affects critical damage and not all damage, and demanded specific utility setup to activate. But if that’s true and it only increases by 5%, then it’s a pretty poor trait. :P

Tyler Chapman.1832:

Soothing Wave and Lingering are known and documented issues.

Thanks guys

Lingering Elements has been broken since beta, and yet it’s not fixed. I hope they really do fix Ele next patch.

To be honest, even if they fix Lingering Elements, will it be worth for the extra two digits toughness or for +10% movement speed? It would be an exciting change if any of those minor traits were good in the first place, or if they synergized with something else (for example, traits that would activate while under those buffs). But then, for the last situation, supposing that this would involve all the +damage traits, Lingering Elements would be so massively overpowered, that I don’t think even being at grandmaster tier would keep it in check.

I would like to see it fixed only after a balancing pass to the minor adept elemental traits.

This should be in the bugs forum

Superior rune of speed does not grant 25% bonus movement speed.

This was fixed at the 15th October

PvP forums are good when it comes to getting extra attention. And it might help Ele PvP players.

kitten , so running a crit build with “Arcane Lightning”, Reduced CD on Arcane skills and 16(s) “Arcane Blast” for a near full time 10% crit dmg increase is unviable.

My thoughts exactly, trying to inform most possible.

I think this thread should be moved to the bug forum before people realize the OP-ness mentioned.

Cleansing water trait not getting triggered by runes that give regen (like dwayna).
