Sahne.6950 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) Written in Stone: This trait no longer reduces the recharge of signet skills, and it now grants an aura to the elementalist after using a signet skill. Signet of Fire = Fireaura? Signet of Earth = Magaura? Signet of Air = Shockaura? Signet of Water = Frostaura? Signet of restoration = ? Will every signet give the corresponding aura? Or is it maybe just fireauras? What aura will signet of restoration give? Edited June 12, 2023 by Sahne.6950 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the krytan assassin.9235 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I believe they briefly mentioned this on stream, the aura's will depend on the signet (aka fire=fire aura, water= frost aura etc.). Signet of restoration will grant frost aura aswell. ( So both on resto+water) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhaid Zhem.6508 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) Could be fun, especially for Heal tempest with signet of water or condi builds. I hope signet of Restoration will also grant an aura; may be on current element; it could help to make this skill less passive. Edit just see my mistake, of course it is already less passive with Written in Stone. Edited June 12, 2023 by Zhaid Zhem.6508 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sahne.6950 Posted June 12, 2023 Author Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) No clue if you are into PvP/WvW.... but Signettempests sustain will reach unhealthy levels if this actually goes live. Edited June 12, 2023 by Sahne.6950 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serephen.3420 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I think you're overestimating it somewhat. Let's see how it goes first. Afterall you'd be stuck using earth line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only time will tell.... Not saying it will dominate the meta or anything like that... but the sustain will probably reach a point that is just unhealthy. Think about it.... SignetofEarth will give a magaura every 20 seconds.... That alone is pretty nuts. Edited June 12, 2023 by Sahne.6950 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only time will tell.... but this build is already absurdly sustainable, without the signetbuffs. I see the open arena in the pvp lobby with randoms and some randoms by a camp in wvw. It might do better in spvp but would have been nicer to see footage of a real game. I don't think signets were carrying it there, you had scepter/focus which is ele's strongest combo in pvp atm. I'm not sure it will hold up against more experienced players, but probably will deal with randoms well enough. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, and just hope any potential nerfs remain strictly to spvp and not pve/wvw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is/was Necro#1 (not following the competetive pvp scene anymore...) I just wholeheartedly hope, that it wont be as big of a buff as i think its is.... but i think it will be yet again a buff to elementalist, that noone has asked for. Elementalbastion+Elementalshielding+Smothering auras, squeeze an insane amout of sustain out of this "little buff", considering on how low of a cooldown those signets are. I also cant wait for the moment, when you stun a elementalist, he stunbreaks with signet of air, and suddenly you are the one that is stunned, because his stunbreak now applys Shockaura xD Edited June 12, 2023 by Sahne.6950 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadshot.5216 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 If they only remove the cd reduction and not continue to grant the signets passive bonuses while recharging, then signettempest gets a huge buff again... I dont know if the extra toughness of signet of earth is missing (instead we get reducing strike dmg) but with fire attunement u cleanse with every aura u apply... every signet cleanses now (in addition with Antitoxin runes + the heal elemental bastion) The magnetic aura helps keeping 100% projectile reflect with a dagger/focus. I guess I will still main tempest after this "balance". 😂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using this build after a friend of mine showed me it last year, it started with staff and then scepter buffs made that a better choice. After this patch, the build is going to be absolutely insane if played by someone who knows what they're doing. It will be better than catalyst. It already is better than catalyst a lot of the time and honestly the fact that people doubt this so much is a good thing. I don't really want them to find out how broken it already is and how broken it is going to be. Lol 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it will be meta with scepter. The single target, slow nature makes it hard to deal with any +1. Not having a stun break outside of overloads kind of tough too. This was what I wanted to try http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PGgAgilZwWYasMGJOyPnNfA-z5YXEJUAGPAA Also, technically I said staff was going to be meta 6 months before they buffed it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
