Earth Attunement and Evasive Arcana[edit]

Shockwave is fired in the direction which you are facing. It doesn't matter if you dodge right, left, forward or backwards. --Inoshiro 19:48, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

OMG[edit]

OMG. Are these effects real? I'm replanning my build right away! – Valento ^msg 03:29, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

They are indeed real. I just tested this and found out that you must be in combat in order for the effects to take place. Otherwise, you don't get any benefits. --IvanTruthe 19:44, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

This is truely one of the best traits in the game! While you only can carry one Weapon you actually get to actively use another free spell off any cooldown besides the 10 seconds!--DIVA 09:20, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

From my experience, ALL spells act as Blast Finishers, regardless of attunement! Also, the blast finish seems to activate more than once every 10 seconds. The spell doesn't, but the "Blast Finisher" popup shows. Pretty sure it's not just an UI error, too. This means that an elementalist can throw out massive heals, or stack tons and tons of might on themselves, depending on their spec. If someone wants to confirm these things, you are free to, but for now I'll add these things to the wiki. I feel like I'm usually too careful with editing wikis... :/ --83.233.10.187 19:49, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

I wrote this, and I just want to add that only the earth attunement spell is a Blast Finisher now, and they can't activate more than once every 10 seconds. I know this info is in other places, I just wanted to add it here too, so no one gets confused. I do think that the cooldown is per spell though, not global. So you can dodge in fire, change to earth, dodge again, and get two spells out of it. 93.182.160.85 16:28, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Initial effects[edit]

I've found that the Churning Earth effect deals very little or no initial damage. Normally, Churning Earth does a huge initial damage spike. I'm not sure about the rest of the effects, but at least the Churning Earth effect is only a shadow of the real spell. I'm disappointed. --Teisei ℗ ∂ 10:55, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

It doesn't cast Churning Earth, it actually casts Shockwave. Vili 点

The visual effect is that of Churning Earth. It deals no damage however, and does not apply the conditions it should. Bugged? --Amplifiction 20:42, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Flame Burst[edit]

"All spells are Blast Finishers, even though only Flame Burst and Churning Earth count in their usual weapon skill form." Since when is Flame Burst a Blast Finisher? I checked its page and there is no mention of it. So one of these pages is incorrect. BioMasterZap 22:03, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

Blast finisher[edit]

As of the Lost Shores update, the blast finisher part of this trait does not seem to work. Whether it ever worked, I cannot say; having never used this trait before then. -Dey 12:17, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
