would like to see something like in dragons lair where those wards that do harm be made into a skill of somekind for the ele, but it would be elite and cause exhaustion, something like ward of Thunderstorm, for 5-21 seconds for each second foe is in ward that foe is struck by lighting for 10-45 lightning dmg and suffers weakness for 10 seconds, this skill causes exhaustion, recharge 25 cost 15e cast 1. i mean after all rangers get traps that cause damage, and necros have wells that can cause harm also, ele's should have something like that too.

Those are not wards. Are 'random cast' areas, where you may be target of a random spell.

See: 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 16 and, finally, 18.

Eles have already a lot of AoE spells, more would be welcomed, but in the usual form: spells.

i know but im using the dmg from it as the base for this skill idea, just saying would be nice to see a ward from an ele that does damage elite or not

Because wards are defensive by definition, if it was offensive, then it wouldn't ward against anything.

So basically AoE spell like Meteor Shower, Eruption, ... for Air Magic ? Why don't use other element line ? Every element has its own purpose and unique : Fire for big aoe damage, air for quick, big single target damage, Earth for defense, Water for frozen, snare.

You shou,d check this other thread:

They have a lot more of ward concept skills.

All offensive ones posted there were discarded.
Why?
Because wards are defensive.
