Saw someone report that if you jump and are in the air while you roll Lich it just doesn’t trigger. Haven’t sat in the training room spamming reset to confirm yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In WvW lich form is so worthless it’s effectively killing yourself, just instantly shift back into engineer and hope for better RNG next time.

I usually pop Elixir X to force a stun break and stab using rampage or tornado, and then kill them with a CC chain after I come out of transformation. When I get lich, I just pivot into just killing them. It's worked out pretty good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CallousEye.5018 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 In PVP you don't want random things to happen when you press an important button, it's a badly designed skill. It'd be really nice if there was a stun break in the elite slot that all engi builds could use. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS: You can create en elite (Elixir X) that gives us a pool health in addiction, as the necro, it coud be fun to have an elixir that do that, to power our body!

Ovalkvadratcylinder.9365 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Idk how hard it can be to creat smth fun and interesting but heres an example of smth thats 5000% more niteresting than what the solution anet came up with for this skill. Change the 3 GM traits in Alchemy to enhance Elixir x in 3 different ways, making the skill more reliable and the choices more impacful and interesting for different play styles Gm trait1: Elixir X always turns you into a Tornado with new effects. The tornado will continously spawn up to 3 smaller tornadoes that move around over its duration. Each small tornado lasts for 6 second and can only be spawned every 2 seconds nr1: tornado and smaller tornado dazes nearby enemies on the first hit and deals damage on enemies who stays in their range. daze can only happen once per transform nr2: tornado and smaller tornados blinds and cripple enemies within range nr3:tornado and smaller tornado shoots lightning bolts every 2 seconds in addition to dealing dmg onc eevery 3 second Gm trait nr2: Elixir X always turns you into a juggernaut with new effects: In addition to pulsing stability you also pulse might to yourself nr1 auto nr2 spin around and deal dmg nr3 leap to a targeted area and knock ppl down nr4: same nr5: Stand still and bash the ground repeatedly (ranger mace 5 animation) cascading in a cone infront of you dealing increased dmg every pulse. Gm3 always turn you into a lich with new effects. nr1 auto nr2 toss an elixir on the ground that applies fury and might to allies and applies weaknes and vuln to enemies nr3 spew a cone of acid infront of you fearing enemies and applying weakness, and applies stability to allies nr4: create an area beneath you that corrupts boons of enemies nr5: tether yourself to allies making their next 6 hits apply poison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be forced to use X with Alchemy, and you don't always want that. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
