ArenaNet:Skill feedback/Elementalist/Meteor Shower

Done25's Issue -- Under powered

 * Issue
 * You need 25 energy to cast this then you lose 10 more energy from Exaustion and it has a huge 5 second window. For 300 damage w/3 Kds this is not bad. Or at least it wouldn't be if it wasn't ADJACENT. This is the same area as Meteor. Not only does a person have 3 seconds to get out before they even take damage even if they do get hit it will only take another second to move out of the spell's range.


 * Suggestion
 * Buff area to Earthquake's nearby status. It's not like it's going to be abused with its 60 second recharge. EDIT: Make it a PvE only change to avoid GoS abuse in small arenas like RA, TA, and HA.

Boring, inefficient skill

 * Issue
 * Boring skill overall, recharge sucks


 * Suggestion
 * Split into PvE version with 30 second recharge and 3 second cast time.

Rework suggestion

 * Issue
 * This is a potentially cool skill which works well in PvE but lacks a certain something in PvP. However, a straight-out buff would be very dangerous on this as it could easily become overpowered.


 * Suggestion
 * Just a few random changes to provoke some thought or something:
 * . 25 4  45.
 * Spell. Create a Meteor Shower at target foe's location. Every 2 seconds for 12 seconds, foes near to that location are struck for fire damage and one random struck foe is knocked down and takes a further  fire damage. This Spell causes Exhaustion.
 * This would deal about as much damage overall, but lack the AoE KDs the current version has. However, it would strike up to 6 times meaning you still get 6 KDs, and since it has a reduced activation and recharge, and most importantly an increased area, it would be worth the trade-off.
