So the question is, why should others have to change the way they play because you find something annoying? A change like this would have to be worthwhile in more than PvE to justify changing how the Arcane traitline works.

There are others traits and skills if you want to increase your move speed.

And again...

There is no rotation to do in PvE. Keeping the arcane rotation is useless in that mode.

 

8-12 seconds:

For example, I am in Air/Fire and I want to go into Earth/Fire before engaging: I have to go into Fire first, which may take time if my attunement is still on cooldown, then wait 4 seconds to go into Earth, then wait 4 seconds again if I want my attunement swap to be ready for the rotation (which I personnally want it to be or else I'll have to delay my rotation)

That'd be fine for me. But I doubt it's anywhere on their priority list. :tongue:

 

They are just gonna nerf swiftness. "Does not work on ele anymore, cuz too much mobility/was a bug/we hate ele."

When you said this I had to go and check for myself and you're right, it's 4s in and out of combat so this proposed change seems more pedantic than an actual balance issue since your in and out of combat time is the same.

This is way too much work for something that already works okay. The devs should be thinking of how to fix the class that they destroyed, rather than meaningless things like this.

[Henrik.7560]

There's a lot more bigger issues than this they need to fix. Especially with ele. If they removed attune cds keep in mind they will need to change traits that affect attune swapping when out of combat, and make all of them only function when in combat.
