Soothing Wave: This skill now properly applies regeneration to the elementalist when using Conjure Frost rather than only when the bow is picked up.

Couple of buffs, couple of nerfs, all round reasonable patch for us. Still no interesting elites though HOWEVER...

Means turtling will be shit now since you can no longer heal a trillion scrubs within 1 aoe. Definitely bummed about the 50% nerf to Healing Ripple in PvP though, really helped the support ele :/
bb ele's back to shitty class. 0 dmg 0 survive... what is arenanet doing anyway... who cares about conjure weapons they are freaking useless..... Btw according to others, evasive arcana no longer provides blast finishers at all.. gz once again and mist form cd is not fixed
