Sure it could be changed. but i'de rather see the ele skill Second Wind changed before Shatter.

Throughout all of GW history, I have never seen second wind used successfully in pve, or pvp. And believe me, I have tried several times to make even a sub-par crap build work at all with the damn thing. to top it off, its also an elite skill.

I agree with you there Moose. Originally, it was probably a good skill in theory, but no matter what, you have to wait for exhaustion to go away anyways.
Anyways, i'll consider bringing up a second wind thread to comment on.

Yeah, Uh, Stone Sheath and Second Wind are both significantly more worthless than this.

So what does either of those skills have anything to do at all with this thread?

Would make a nice aoe like Chaos storm that does dmg and stripes an enchant every second. Of course, this skill would need to be moved to fast cast or something. Basically a chaos storm elite. flame away!

Second wind's meant to be used when your elementalist has just close to 0 energy. It can become pretty useful then, but not if you're using it at the beginning, or even halfway through your energy. Also, Attunements are your friend in order to help you not have to use Second Wind as often, thus avoiding too much exhaustion. There're better elite skills then this, obviously. Just mentioning that there is some use for this skill, but it pales in comparison to the rest of your options.

This is the long version of saying "I want to solo everything on my Mesmer."

It would be a thousand times better than any other skill in the game.

Stone sheath has its uses in general pve. Shatterstorm doesn't.

Whaaa? Since when does Stone sheath have a use in PvE? It's easily worse than shatterstorm. And shatterstorm sucks in PvE.

So what though? Mesmers work in PvE now.

I guess you could change it to what that one person said (make it like chaos storm). But then Mesmers would have 2 armor ignoring DoT AoE skills...which would be pretty damn powerful and infringing on Ele territory.

I can see the elite working well in PvP, mainly GvG or large team battles. Part of battling comes from being able to use your skills to deceive your opponents. Shatter Storm could be a good way to drop 1 enchant here and there, get people thinking one way, then to open up for a spike. Perhaps even the opposite, depends on the team really.

PvE, you don't really have to deceive. So perhaps it's not as useful.
