Cautery Signet

Spura Issue -- 22:38, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Discussion

Issue

Not all that hot

Martyr, Foul Feast etc....

Any condition heavy team surely has rangers with DShot, 2 sec is just bad

Suggestion

Cast time to 1 or 0.75 and shorter recharge

OR

Shorter recharge and change functionality to: "Elite Signet. All party members lose all Conditions. Nearby foes are set on Fire for 1 second for each Condition removed in this way."

Issue

Activation time is too long for an elite

Recharge time

Suggestion

Make it in Motivation Line

Change the functionality to: "All party members lose all Conditions. You are healed for 2...5...6 and set on fire for 2 seconds for each condition removed in this way. For each party member within earshot, Cautery Signet recharges 1 second faster.(1 , 15 )."

In this way, Cautery Signet would be a good and useful Elite Signet, under the Motivation Line.

Activation time

Reduce to 1 second.

Akirai's Issue

Isn't used. Has no real spot on the Para, or any other class really, as condi removal (why not bring the single target skills with cool secondary effects instead?).

Suggestion

2 15 Signet. For 15 seconds, target ally's melee attacks cause Burning for 2 seconds to his target and himself. No effect unless wielding a fire weapon.

It's a cool buff in theme with the whole Cauterization. Limiting it to melee stops it from becoming a third or fourth ranger cover condi (though I guess it doesn't matter too much since teams need mass condi removal with the ranger's current skill set anyway). The 2 second cast prevents mesmer abuse.
