Overhaul all traitline, some skills of Elemetalist

[Hikosama.2971]

* New boon: add a new boon to serve the earth purpose, **Recoil**. This boon has damage reflection functions same as Retaliation but it base on toughness instead of power. Like Retaliation, this boon stacks in duration.

* Trait name: In each trait line, change called name "minor trait" in each tier to "**key trait**" to reflect the important impacts of those trait that identify what role of the trait line can perform. This means the major traits in each tier are the options to boost some intended roles.

* Base core attunment: Gain boon associated with your switching attunment. Switch to fire: Fury 3s, switch to water: Resistance 1s, switch to air: Alacrity 1s, switch to earth: Recoil 3s

* Downstate: Move function “Cast Lesser Lava Font when you are downed” from the old Persisting Flames to base downstate of Elementalist. Rename it to Persisting Will.

* Elemental Auras: Fire Aura: Now grant to the bearer 3 stacks of Might for 3s and also Retaliation for 1s when strucked instead of 1 stack of might for 10s (The other function of this aura remains the same as the current). Shocking Aura: Now inflict daze for 0.5s to the attacker instead of stun for 2s with the ICD 1s instead of 2s. The 2 other auras remain the same as the current.

* Skills:

1. Arcane Shield (Utility skill): Now this skill grant a layer (a stack) of Arcane Shield effect that block an incoming hit and deal exploring damage (instead of 3 blocks and deal exploring damage after those blocks). The effect can be stack-able up to 5 maximum. Therefore its exploring damage for each stack (base damage and coefficient) reduced significantly by about 66%. Also re-function this skill with 3 charge counts with 5s cd per used, each charge's recharge is 15s so 45s total for full charges but remove the stun-break function. This change due to match the change of a trait from Arcane trait line.

2. Frozen Ground (Staff skill): Now rename to **Frozen Blossom** and change its visual effect ( like a translucent blue cherry blossom) on the ground where this skill was cast to reflect the different in ice field with new skill **Frost Nova** (this Frost Nova keep the old visual effect of Frozen Ground). Now also adjust more functions: This skill not only chill foes who enter the field but also occur pulse to chill inside for 1s with 1s interval. Secondly, extend its ice field duration when a combo of any finishers interact with it by 2s. Therefore, increase its recharge by about 10s.

3. Conjured weapon’s skills, now auto attack of each conjured weapon will recharge other non-auto attack abilities of that conjured weapon by 10% per cast. Convince players to wield it often.

4. Conjured Fiery Great Sword, rename and rework to Conjured Elemental Great Sword, to match it with swapping attunment as the elite skill with 4 associated form (fire, water, air, earth). Now only place one piece on your hands and last until its expiration even if you dropped it. Thus rework it’s “Reset skill action” to “Drop” button. Add the sub skill to show its associated form based on your current attunment, this sub skill can be activated to expire it as soon as you want to recharge your main conjured skill. Change bonus effects to 4 different effects associated with 4 form of this great sword which +250 to a stat based on your current attunment when wielding, Fire is condition damage, Water is power, Air is ferocity, Earth is expertise. {Note: you will drop the different form piece of this conjured weapon (fire, water, air, earth) based on the attunment before dropping. Therefore the picker (if not elementalist) will receive the associated effect and weapon sets. This means only elementalist can change this great sword form.}. Change some its weapon skills as follow:

[Infusion.7149]

I doubt they will ever do this because it would be a balance nightmare. For one I don't anticipate ele ever getting boon rip outside of sigil of nullification.

 

"Action speed" sounds a lot like quickness and given that quickness is still 50% faster cast/attack and was nerfed on feel my wrath I don't think it will be added.

 

Anything DOT (damage over time) with "lingering effects" has server performance implications.

 

In addition, adding small inconsequential barriers reminds me of weaver, except in this case any build with that trait will be utterly destroyed by a warrior running warrior's cunning in WvW (+50% damage modifier in WvW vs targets with barrier).

 

Might gain in PvP/WvW has similarly been downgraded to 6s durations more or less across the board.

First, thanks for your feedback and sorry if my bad english just make you guys misunderstanding or annoying. And yea, it's hard and sad for Anet when they do their game balance but I like the Ele so much and I just keep hoping a new whole rework of not only this profession but also all profession in future to give game more something fresh new depth build play instead of old and boring trait. So I also hope Ele at least has 1 or 2 trait that can themself do boon rip outside of sigil of nullification especialy in this boon meta.

> "Action speed" sounds a lot like quickness and given that quickness is still 50% faster cast/attack and was nerfed on feel my wrath I don't think it will be added.

I intend to rework Air traitline to give Ele quickness gain, leave this boon to Air support so this action speed increase in this fire trait just an option. Since that must get 10 stacks of burning on yourself to get the same amount of quickness and 25 stacks to get max a 125% AS, (125% maybe a big boost and may casue some issue) I think it a trade off, how long Ele can survise with burning to take it although the self-burn is just the origin, also it will conflict with some cleansing trait so must sacrifice to not clean burning to take the effect. And I just adjust Flame Expulsion due to my purpose in Fire trait is also an anti-burning for Ele since it consume burning instead of silly idea consuming your might. On my purpose this trait is not only for pure Dpser, it's for bunker or healer role you can get enough barrier with Flame Guard and Soothing Aura to ignore the self burn or just can survise longer to heal self and allies (tempest with staff water AA maybe) before dying when receiving burning from foes.

> Anything DOT (damage over time) with "lingering effects" has server performance implications.

I just move the 20% burning duration increased from the Burning Precision to this new trait due to not overpower the new rework Burning Precision but also make this new grandmaster trait for Dps boost in both power and condition

> In addition, adding small inconsequential barriers reminds me of weaver, except in this case any build with that trait will be utterly destroyed by a warrior running warrior's cunning in WvW (+50% damage modifier in WvW vs targets with barrier).

I know that so nonsense with that warrior trait when it impact with a small barrier foe, I have no idea since that trait did not refunction to deal more harm to barrier instead of damage increasing (like remove 50% barrier). But I also intend to rework Weaver trait that remove all barrier gain from that spec and adjust new functions to make it more melee fighter with more health and anti barrier too. In Flame Guard case, I just add a little base and co-ef barrier gain because I fear it wil bel Op when interact with might generating group (so many stacks of might gain per apply so it will generate more barrier per might per apply too).

> Might gain in PvP/WvW has similarly been downgraded to 6s durations more or less across the board.

I just nerf it to 5s becasue i thougt its function move from major grand master to a minor trait, you dont need to worry traiting in major grand master to get this effect. This purpose identify fire trait line that it is self might and barrier gaining from attacking while remaing in this attument as a key feature.
