Rebalance area and glyphs

Rebalance area picks a local status from a list and dismisses it (for 60 CP, 5 AP and15 MP), but the list seems to include glyphs which already have their own solutions in the form of glyph erasure spells and direct attacks.

You can just dilute the chance of rebalance getting your otherwise untargetable status (say intimidating aura) with a bunch of cheap glyphs. Is this the intended implementation?

That seems like a death knell to an already questionably useful skill. For the price, it seems like picking what you want to nuke would be fair. Or even just completely dropping all effects, in which case nuking glyphs in the process wouldn't be crazy to me.

This
60 CP skill on a class that has no bad skills*, that costs 5 AP and 15 MP
letting you pick what effect you want to blow up or blowing up everything sounds very much in line

*I mean elementalists have bad skills but they also have a load of skills that are good and, basically, you know what I mean

Imagine this skill but only works on glyphs but you can choose which one and doesn't affect ally casted ones and also using t2 CP. :lol:

The only way I'd consider going for this on its current state is if cost 1ap.

Fire Elementalists are bad

The Fire Skills are bad because Fire Elementalists are bad

The fire pets could still use some love to make them competitive. Fire adept is great though!

As good as Elementalists are at offense, this does save the trouble of spending another 20 CP on glyph erasure and the trouble of more than 5 AP/15MP on direct attacks.

That's exactly the problem with it imo. I could just purchase GGE for 20 t2 cp if I want to deal with glyphs and I DONT want to target those when I use rebalance. It doesn't help that allied area affects gets thrown into the mix.
