Just to clear things up, a hurricane's destruction is mainly based on the water it brings in. So that would fall under Water Magic.
A twister/tornado would be better suited for Air.
But I think air has some really good single target attacks, I'd just like to leave it at that.
Chain lightning and Invoke lightning hurt enough as well.

A Hurricane is water and air which is what my suggestion was

And a hurricanes damage is number 1 from the air, unless you live somewhere like New Orleans where flooding is easy.

In case that wasn't enough indication of the sarcasm, I recommend that the new skill be named GURLSTORM.

Sir, I think your sarcasm detection unit needs to be replaced.

Hurricane 25/4/30, exhaustion:

Create a hurricane at target foes location. For 10 seconds, foes in the area move 50% slower and are knocked down every 3 seconds.

- Kind of a copy of MS, but more useful.

Tornado 15/3/20, exhaustion:

Create a tornado at target foes location. For 5 seconds one random foe for is struck for 63 lightning damage each second and knocked down.

- An earthquake which cycles through enemies one by one rather then hitting them all at the same time. Not really much use, but at least it would give us a tornado.

please no aoe in air..... you want an expensive skill here

25E, 3 sec cast, 60 second recharge

target foe and up to 3 near-by foes take 20...80...100 lightning damage and are knocked down. this spell has 25% armor penetration and causes exhaustion.

Well there are a few non electric skills, just as Water magic has a few non Ice skills.

On a random side note - Ice creatures are weak to Fire, Fire creatures are weak to Water its a vicious cycle since Water is Ice and vicaversa

This one sounds the best to me. Just drop some ranger spirits and have 5 elements run this. You'll have constant knockdowns and degen for the entire match......

ok here is the final argument about air not being aoe, this is a direct quote from the description of air magic attribute in guild wars.

Quote:

no inherent effect. Many Elementalist skills, especially spells that deal lightning damage to or debilitate a single enemy, become more effective with higher Air Magic.

if ya dont believe me get on your ele and hover your mouse over the air magic attribute.

Seriously, who comes up with these stupid ideas? I just finished reading all the idiotic posts in the "buff water magic" thread and I come across this?

Example. Fire magic doesn't cause armor penetration (air) or snare (water) or knockdown (earth), so I think I'll want searing flames to be buffed to have 20% AP, snare for 5 seconds 66% slower, and knock all foes in the area down. GG

Gaile - Skill 5/1/60

Gaile is summoned to deal one of the following three effects to target foe:

Transmutation - Foe is transformed into a harmless frog
Server Crash - Target foe recieves an error 7 and is removed from play
Banhammer - Gaile equips the mighty banhammer. This hammer has a 25% chance to strike target foe. If it hits, that foe is banned from GW.

Then why chain and invoke lightning? Guess those skills should be removed.

I just want an aoe air hex......

tenshi_strife · Jun 09, 2007, 12:47 AM // 00:47

chain and invote are technically one target, they dont do aoe they just jump. what i mean aoe i mean DoT AoE.

I'm so tired of PvE carebears who keep making thread to suggest something generalize Ele attribute lines. Like a thread about making 4 cheaps spammable spells of each line equal exactly, thread suggests buffing water spell damage as good as fire and air, and this thread suggests AoE spells for Air.
