Another suggestion from ArmaggedonAsh:


I saw that person mentioned Quickness for an elite. To me that would just be very underwhelming as an elite. Maybe if it was like Signet of Rage of the Warrior and gives us Might and Fury at the same time it would be decent. Though it wouldn’t really help a condition based ele build.

Though something like:

Passive: 50% Chance on Critical to inflict a condition based on attunement.
Fire = Burning, Water = Chill, Air = Confusion, Earth = Torment, 5 second ICD

Active: Inflict an Aoe condition based on your attunement and grant yourself Quickness 5 second, Might 5 stacks for 30 seconds and Fury for 30 seconds

then it might be something worth using

Another idea i had:

A total redesign of Glyph of Elementals. Now instead of summoning an elemental based on your attunement. You actually turn into one yourself. We already have tonics that can turn players into ones. Sure they cant move but i am sure they could get something to work as they have the animations from elementals already.

I would see them as mixing skills from all weaponsets and they would be increased as once you are in this form you can attunement swap to gain buffs and such but your skills dont change. Something like:

FIRE =
Auto attack = Staff Auto. This would be buffed so its travel time is faster and deals a bit more damage. Maybe inflict 3 second Burning on all targets hit around the target

Skill 2 = A Dragons Tooth like skill. Cast time would be reduced. Damage would be increased and Burning would be doubled.

Skill 3 = Flame Blast. Damage would be increased quite a lot. The area below the target would become a Fire field for like 10 seconds as well

Skill 4 = Drakes Breath. This would have larger range and deal twice as much damage to already burning targets.

Skill 5 = Meteor Shower. Each time a target is his, they are inflicted with 5 seconds of Burning. Impacts increased. Cast time reduced and fall speed increased

WATER =
Auto attack = Staff Auto attack. Simple and easy. Heals allies as well.

Skill 2 = Cone of Cold. Inflicts Poison on targets and Regen on allies

Skill 3 = Healing Rain. Condition is removed on each application of regen (doesnt need trait) removes conditions from player and all allies in the field.

Skill 4 = Frost Aura. Applies Aura to all allies (no need for trait)

Skill 5 = Comet. This would be changed to ground target. Thus it could be combined with Healing Rain for an AoE as well. Daze increased to 3 seconds. Damage increased to Chilled targets

AIR =
Auto attack = Dagger. An obvious choice really. Will mainly be Melee based

Skill 2 = Lightening Strike = This would be AoE based and inflict 5 stacks of Confusion for 5 seconds.

Skill 3 = Shocking Aura. As with all elemental auras no need for trait for the aura to be shared.

Skill 4 = Ride The Lightening. Damage doubled. Inflicts 5 stacks of Confusion for 5 seconds on targets

Skill 5 = Gale. AoE knock down for 3 seconds of all targets in range of the player.

EARTH =
Auto Attack = Scepter. Instead of Bleeding. It inflicts 1 stack of Torment for 6 seconds every hit.

Skill 2 = Rock Barrier. Increases Toughness . Hurl now inflicts a random condition per each projectile as well as sending 1 condition to the target that the player has. Each projectile has be fired on its own with a 1second ICD until they are all used.

Skill 3 = Ring of Earth. Inflicts small damage and Cripple 5 seconds, Bleeding 12 seconds and Torment 6 seconds

Skill 4 = Magnetic Wave. Along with Cripple it now inflicts 5 stacks of Torment for 10 seconds on foes within range.

Skill 5 = “Churning Earth”. This would be similar to Churning earth but the player can move during the Channel. They are inflicted with Cripple during the channel.

What I want is an elite that will put us in the Avatar state from avatar/legend of korra :o

Imagine, bypassing all the attunements and using all 4 for them at once while floating in the air to cause devastation!!!

I’m thinking kind of like lich form but better and much more AoE.

Lol, that would be epic.

Wyrden, I’m not a fan of scepter so I probably wouldn’t be using that elite haha

I think I saw a couple threads running around here about new elites for eles, mostly condition so I decided to make another and voice my opinions here as well as ArmageddonAsh who is sadly banned at the moment… forever

I’ll paste what he said to me yesterday:


Something like:
Elemental (or Arcane) Overload:
Gain chance for spells to inflict conditions based on your attunement
Fire = Burning, 5 seconds
Water = Chill, 2 seconds
Air = Confusion, 5 seconds
Earth = Torment, 10 seconds
Chance on Crit: 25%
Proc Cool down: 1 second
Duration: 30 Seconds
Cool down 45 Seconds

Not too sure if it should be an Arcane, Glyph or what. Due to how would it interact with Elemental Surge. If it were either another question would be, should it stay with its current attunement proc or change based on your current attunement? As it is an Elite i kinda feel it should

With that in mind. I would actually change Elemental Surge. I would actually have it so that it is different based on the Arcane Skill that is used.

Arcane Blast:
Fire = Burning, 5 Seconds.
Water = Chill, 3 Seconds
Air = 5 Stacks Confusion, 5 Seconds
Earth = 5 stacks of Torment, 5 seconds

Arcane Wave
Fire = Burning, 5 Seconds.
Water = Chill, 3 Seconds
Air = 3 Stacks Confusion, 5 Seconds
Earth = 3 stacks of Torment, 5 seconds

Arcane Power
Fire = Burning, 5 Seconds.
Water = Chill, 3 Seconds
Air = 2 Stacks Confusion, 5 Seconds
Earth = 2 stacks of Torment, 5 seconds

Arcane Shield
Fire = Burning, 5 Seconds.
Water = Chill, 3 Seconds
Air = 3 Stacks Confusion, 5 Seconds
Earth = 5 stacks of Bleeding, 10 seconds

Arcane Brilliance
Fire = Burning, 5 Seconds.
Water = Chill, 5 Seconds
Air = 5 Stacks Confusion, 5 Seconds
Earth = 5 stacks of Torment, 10 seconds!


This is just to raise some awareness for the devs in light that we may have some hope for conditions builds in the future, cos you know… build diversity and that. So everyone, let’s discuss!

What are your suggestions?

ele could have an elite that grants the bonuses of every attunement for a very short while.

I don’t know much about other classes, but what do you mean by this? Are you talking about boons like protection, regen, might etc popped at once as an elite skill or bonuses as in extra toughness, attack, precision+critical damage?

If you’re talking about the first option then it kinda isn’t fair for the Eles to have this as an elite since Thieves can get this easily from Stealing from Mesmers and am I right in saying Guardians have a skill where they receive a load of boons at once as a utility?

For the other option, I guess it’d be alright, but then it’d have to be a significant amount of an increase for it truly to be worthy of an elite instead of a trait per se.

go away, condi ele op enuf in wvw, we need quickness elite ! w short cd!

It’s not OP

All I ask for the Elemetalist is a short cool-down elite that focuses on conditions because at the moment I have to use a racial elite with a cool-down of 180 seconds which I can only use once every 2-3 fights. I don’t even use FGS to fight; that’s my running away tool.

This used to be a build I tried out for fun; it wasn’t even my main build, but now it is and it’s pretty much the strongest one I have.

Blinding Ashes with 100% condition duration. Even though some players run around with -36 or -40% food I’m able to stack some conditions together and they do last for a really long time. My armor is a bit low (2300ish), but the blinds every 5 seconds from burn can account for that. If I’m facing a melee heavy class I’d just switch my first utility (Cleansing Fire) to Signet of Earth for more toughness. Whilst doing that I can change the necessary traits to fight with the changed utilities.

Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OTVfOM4DLY
Roaming/dueling with this build of mine enjoy.

-Fix those bloody runes that rely on elite activation. I’m not waiting 180 seconds for my 6/6 to pop when fighting 3v1

-Can we have better Fire Magic master traits? ATM they’re kinda meh.

Use the toxic focusing crystal, gives you an extra 10 percent duration for a sweet 80 percent duration bonus.

Condition damage is already low but I’ll try. I’ll drop to 884, is that enough? The amount of might that I get in fights goes up to 7 stacks… maybe a little more.

I tried it Broski. I honestly think diamond skin is more useful/fight winning.

I won a fight vs two engineers this weekend, they were both condi builds. They both dropped air supplies on me and I still came out on top. I just don’t think I could have done a 2v1 with blinding ashes spec.

Also necros…diamond skin is like a guaranteed win.

But nice to try new things, specs become stale I agree.

I wont argue about DS benefiting you more, but BA has its perks. Which build did you win the 2v1 with? On the first day of testing this build I had a duel with 2 engineers 2v1 as well, and I won easily. The condi clear you get from Earth #4, Cleansing Fire utility and trait is a lot. Sometimes the trait is a bit buggy, it clears one condition on you rather than three.

Without a doubt DS against Necromancers. With BA it is really hard to beat a good one, I’ve tried and failed. Against any other class it’s fine!

Hmm, I don’t really see how it’s blinding ashes that won you the fights. I think you’d have just as easily won without the trait. Especially in the last few fights you blinded them like one or max. two times in total?

About the last few fights, I remember looking at my traits to see if I had the right ones on and I noticed I missed out Burning Precision (not sure about name, Fire V).

That would be my reason for probably not blinding as much as I should have been since I couldn’t burn on critical hits (outside of Fire Attunement too).

I used to use GoEP, but it wasn’t really all that for me. I guess it’s just down to personal preference. I like to keep a survivability skill like Arcane Shield on hand so that when things go south I have something to keep me going for a little bit. The cooldown is not too bad, 60 seconds with Arcane Mastery. Take into consideration Cleansing Fire and Signet of Air have about 30-40 second cooldowns so it isn’t that bad; you just need to time when you to use them all.

Hello everyone,

I’ve been messing around with Blinding Ashes lately and I like it a lot more than what I used to run with my hybrid condi build (Diamond Skin). I can still kill classes at the same speed, if not then quicker with the exception of Necromancers; they’re a pain my butt.

The video that I’ve linked below is just me roaming around with the trait activated, but doesn’t show all the classes in-game.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTcMVVzsy10

I think I missed out Engineer/Necromancer/Elementalist and maybe a competent Ranger (haven’t faced a good one yet). Fear not, those classes are still killable with BA!

I roam solo alot, or small man. Up until yesterday I was running a 0,0,2,6,6 build, power based and I enjoyed it alot.

After playing for a few hours I encountered nothing but p/d perplexity spec thieves, perplexity 1 button spamming engineers, condi necros, condi mesmers, crossfire spamming rangers….just hardly any non condi classes.

On a whim I switched to Broskis spec and gear, and the fights went from being a pain in the kitten to their total obliteration. I had a p/d thief complain at me for 10 minutes that I was lame for taking diamond skin, and had no skill as he couldn’t counter this.

I still don’t like conditions though, I think the game rewards too much passive play. When in rome though….

Maybe try your build in some sPvP 1on1 servers without that buff food, you will quickly see condition ele isnt a good choice at all.

Firstly, condition ele is not as good in pvp as it is in wvw. We lack the sigils/runes that actually make us good, and yes I’ve tried it. Secondly, why should we resort to playing pvp anyway? WvW is way better. If you think the food buff is bad then why does -40% condi duration exist? (I’m sure you’re using +40%, right Ash?) It’s there for a reason so don’t blame us condi ele users for using food buffs.

I don’t think power engineers are all that when using a DS condi build against them. So far the only engis that ever gave me trouble were ones that used turrets and they were really tanky.

d/f is a lot easier to use against the condi mesmers you speak of because of earth #4 and #5. The pistols don’t mean squat when they’re being reflected back to the caster and killing themselves. Plus, you’re using perplexity so they won’t be expecting the interrupt coming from water #5 and air #5 which you can cast from any direction, even looking behind.
