When using the elementalist elite [Tornado] during utility skill [Mist Form], the elite skill will end prematurely. It seems that when [Tornado] is cast during the duration of [Mist Form], [Tornado] will end together with [Mist Form].
Hopefully this will be fixed so that there are more choices for elementalist elites.
I wouldn’t be opposed to this because it’d be allowing you to do something you’re already allowed to do, just a little bit quicker. It’s still annoying to have to run out of combat to intentionally change the weapon, which as I said in my last post is extremely frustrating in WvW.
I think that’s the point. It ISN’T something you can already do. In order to do it now, you have to run out of combat to switch the weapon. This would be a balance change because it would allow Eles to switch weapons in the heat of a battle. They’d have to rebalance the whole class around that. It’s simply hard to balance a class that can effectively have 40 skills on their skillbar, instead of the 10 that most classes get.
Sorry, but I feel like the reasoning behind not giving weapon swapping to Elementalists and Engineers is sound.
I believe what the previous person was saying is that you can currently change weapons OUTSIDE of combat. The change I suggested was being able to easily swap weapons OUTSIDE of combat. Therefore, this change makes something that is possible right now (changing weapons OUTSIDE of combat) a little easier.
Currently, for elementalists to swap between staff and daggers, they have to get out of combat and individually click daggers/staff to swap. I must agree that elementalists should not be allowed to swap weapons in combat, but the current implementation does make it annoying in that where staff is one item, daggers will will be two items, meaning the bags will look messy (the weapons will not be put into the same slot). The generic weapon bag will mean that loot will quickly clog up the weapon bag, and exotic equipment bag from fractals will not work with a legendary weapon.
If elementalists were allowed to swap weapons with a click OUTSIDE of combat, there would be very little advantage that elementalists would gain.
For tpvp, this feature can be disabled so that elementalists will not abuse this feature.
