Dragon's Tooth is no longer a blast finisher at all, based on my tests and other people's (in the official forums).

That said, the patch notes suggest this is a surely a bug.

I have no solid speculation as to whether the same is true of Evasive Arcana -- but this is a good weekend NOT to play your elementalist.

And someone was just bragging about how great it was to me... *chuckles* But yes, the same *is* true of Evasive arcana.

Chill out guys, this will get fixed by tomorrow or the day after, just like they almost immediately fixed the Ranger trap CD bug. There is no need to cry out loud as if these are permanent changes. Evasive Arcana is not the best thing in life, so there is no need to repeatedly mention it with a sarcastic flavor.

Oh I assure you I wasn't being at all sarcastic.

dragon's tooth still works, but it is now a blast finisher at the target location, not your own.

we know. but atm it doesnt work as a blast finisher even at the location of the target. there is no finisher at all on it, at the target location or the player location.

tooltip still says it is a blast finisher, id expect it to be fixed. eventually...

Patch note:
We've been hearing your feedbacks, and we fix your favorite Ele.
1. Dragon's Tooth and AE are now back with blast finisher with 10sec cd on AE.
2. Mist form no longer count as an additional downed state.
3. Most of Ele's attack has increased and their underwater combat as well to match other profession!
4. Introducing the "we have no idea how but, finally works" traits on Ele. Now you CAN actually have a viable build.

PS: Guild Wars 3 now officially released, get your GW3 key on local retailer and adventure on the brand new Tyria! With a brand new Elementalist! (Hopefully, one that actually works)!

No need to thank us! We are awesome and we know it! \( ^ 3 ^ )/

There is a thread on this issue on official forums.
Other things still dont work either.. eventho it was "fixed" this patch.

Haha, I know what you mean.   GW1 Elementalist is finally interesting again, after everyone already left for GW2.

I also could test that Dragon's Tooth isn't a blast anymore, this will probably get fixed soon.

As for Evasive Arcana, I don't mind it personally (no class should be able to reliably build up to 25 might by itself...), but it'll be better when all the other trait that could get you a viable build will work.
