Etcetera. Nifty stuff, I guess.

Ah finally, thank you so much for this! reading stuff like "I have Deep Wound on me!" made me cringe every single time.

And yet skills like Mend Ailment still have silly explanations of the skill.

Am I the only one that is slightly disturbed by the above statement??? Personally, as an Ele, I'm hearily sick of the buff/nerf cycle they go through every time someone can't cope with their skillset.

Here's a thought - don't nerf fire eles, buff some of the other attribute lines so they are more effective and get more play.

One step at a time. They'll come to that, eventually.

Tweak lightning magic spells, they are too costly.

The problem with that is if you buff an attribute so that it is on par or superior to the currently dominating attribute, you'll only be hurting the overall balance of the game, not helping it.

Say for example Fire Magic was incredibly overpowered (which it isn't really, but there are some nifty spells and builds that are pretty lolwutawesome). Now, we buff Water Magic to make people consider taking it. That doesn't fix the problem of Fire Magic raping everything in sight, and it adds the problem of Water Magic also raping everything in sight.

For PvE, that's not a problem, but for PvP, it opens up a whole new can of imbalanced Junundu.

You mean, re-do Air so it does something useful other than blind?

Also, if you were to say, bring earth's damage up to the level of fire, that would be a terrible idea since you could blow things up AND use stoneflesh/stone striker and take just about zero damage from everything.

That's too true. It's ridiculous that some armor costs up to one million, and you still find black squares sticking out of your character's arse.

A lot of people (including me) didn't even get any points. And I know I got at least 25 :P

Yep, air should do more than just blind by offering a "spammability" like the fire magic line (thus cheaper spells), it'll still lack the Fire AoE in the end. The only real problem could arise if everything would become spikish.

Earth should stay defensive.

I've tried it and it wasn't consumables.

EDIT:
oh yeah! first it appeared grey, and I couldn't cast animate, but a couple of minutes later it turned colorful again, and I could!

I have mending on me!

*gets kicked from party*

NOOOOOOOOOOOO! I was joking!

Regarding Fire Eles, their capability as damage dealers is already questionable in PvE, even more so in PvP. Buff Air to have some more use than being a blindbot, it sucks the most of the many elemental lines at the moment. Water has utility, which is rarely needed in PvE. I always think of Moddok Crevice and freezing two runners, but that was it...
