Why is fury gone from arcane again?

It baffles me why fury was moved into air. The aura trait that gives swiftness/fury? What on earth inspired this change?

I wanted to play a D/D offense weaver running water/arcane.

I wanted to run a no-crit amulet in pvp and benefit from crit stats (signet of fire, crit chance weakness trait, air attunement, fury) but without fury it's pointless. And no i'm not runnin air specialization on D/D as that will be too glassy.

The Aura trait that gives Fury/Swiftness has been there for I dunno, 6 years?

Arcane skills are guaranteed crits when traited if that helps, I run a sage version from time to time.

There's also sigils like Intelligence to help you crit.

yeah its a bad change. the puny might stack replacement in arcane never gets a nice comment from me. why not have fury in both trait lines? its not like it would be broke, not with all the other boon spam everywhere (not to mention rips, corruptions, and steals).

cuz anet made a change for pve and didn't bother with pvp and we all know as long as it's not mesmer they don't put in any extra effort to fix the side effects

Definitely a bad change. I wish they would revert it. The skill used to be active because you have to swap attunements to get Fury, now you absolutely must run Air to get a passive 3s icd on crit to get Fury.
