Elemental Arrows - Fire and Electric

Archery is a powerframe really underwhelming, but has potential for future powerframe revamp

So far the powerframe has unique elemental powers such as Explosive Arrow which can be used as FIRE arrow and Sonic Arrow which depending on your theme can translate into a WIND or LIGHT arrow

However there are 2 special arrow powers I would to see in future powerframe update, arrows that can still be used for archery theme and provide synergy with other powerframes

ICE ARROW
Ice themed elemental arrow which freeze your targets. Visuals can be taken from Ice blast or Ice Lance
-Deals Half Piercing and Half Cold damage
-Applies CHILL on Full Charge
-Creates Ice cage Object
-(Some creative battle ADV)

ELECTRIC ARR---- WAIT A MINUTE
But wait a minute you will say, we already have an electric arrow in game. Taser Arrow!

Here is the problem, Taser Arrow exist not for damage but for singlet target Crowd Control (Paralyze)
If you want to use for pure DPS and ignore the CC, you can't, the Damage output will be very low
Adding an damage buff ADV on this power WON'T work neither since it's exlusive for CC
While Sonic Arrow has CC attributes and it can ignore it for pure DPS, Taser Arrow doesn't have such luxury

The power has really awesome visuals and you may have an archer whose Alpha attack is thunderous arrows, so what can we do?

the best way is to recycle the awesome visuals Taser Arrow into a new archery power which focus only for damage and nothing more
.
That's right, keep Teaser Arrow as a CC power but make a clone power which focus only on DAMAGE

ELECTRIC ARROW
-Deals Half Piercing and Half Electric damage
-Applies Negative Ion on Full Charge
-The damage on maintarget will hit any close enemy effected by Negative Ion debuff
-(Some creative battle ADV)


As for Explosive Arrow, the only thing I can suggest is that the "Where is the Kaboom?" adv also get the ability to apply Clinging flames on the target


Now take Explosive Arrow, Ice Arrow and Sonic Arrow and you made LINK, Go defeat Ganondorf
Suggestion brought to you from a fan of Legend of Zelda

HEALING ARROW

    Here's a suggestion.. elemental imbued weapons.

    In the elementary and arcane tree's

    Keep archery as a woodman archer tree, but allow weapons to be imbued by other players.

    These act as a damage buff with an elemental effect added on rank 3 of "elemental imbuement" power.

    Arrows,bullets,one hand,two hand,duel weapon ect.
