I hope I'm posting this in the correct area, and If this has already been posted then close the thread. Before posting I had a quick search and couldn't find anything. Oh well, here goes.

Was looking at some elementalist skills, and I noticed that all the attribute lines for offensive magic (Water, Fire, Earth, Air) have two skills in common; The conjure weapon spells (Flame, Lightning, Frost) and the Mind spells (Mind Shock, Mind Burn, Mind Freeze). Where is the earth magic? To me it's just silly to put the effort into having these similiar skills in all 3 other attributes, and leave out earth magic. There are ebon mods in the game, but no conjure spell for ebon weapons; Something is lacking in my opinion.

Conjure Stone: 10e 1 sec casting 45 sec recharge
For 60 seconds, if you're wielding an ebon weapon, your attacks strike for an additional 7...19 earth damage.
(Could prolly use a better name, but can't think of one off the top of my head.)

Mind Blast: 5e 1 sec casting 8 sec recharge
Target foe suffers 10...42 earth damage. If you have more energy than target foe, that foe suffers 10...42 additional earth damage and suffers from weakness for 1..8 seconds. This spell causes exhaustion.
(Took the same damage as the other skills, and same recharge as mind shock and mind freeze. Since all the skills have the 2ndary effect if you have more energy, I decided to put weakness since many earth magic skills rely on it.)


Well, post what you think :P

I agree on the conjure stone idea but there is a fire magic skill called mind blast. o.O

[skill]Mind Blast[/skill]

But there should be the mind shock/burn/freeze for earth and a conjure for earth (eda would be great then).

This has been discussed so much, but I wouldn't be surprised if ANET goes "Tah-Dah!" with them in Eye of the North.

Conjure Earth would just allow for uber enchantment tanks who can wand people to death. It also doesn't make any logical sense.

Mind (earth) is pointless. I'd prefer [wiki]Obsidian Flame[/wiki] any day.
