A list of all the supposed names of the new skills can be found on this guild wiki page: http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Nightfall_skill_lists, even though you can only get info for the ones on the GW website.

However, we can always Speculate as to what they will do based on the names. For example:

Necro: Well of Silence: No shouts can be used whilst in the well.

However, some of the skills sound like duplicates. The assassin skill "Umbra's Refuge" sounds a lot like a clone of "Shadow Refuge", and the monk skill "Mending touch" could easily be a "Healing touch" clone.

Also, some of the skills sound as if they haven't had a lot of thought put into the name, rather they just picked a word from collumn A, and a word from collumn B and mashed it together. For example the Assassin skill "Shameful Instability". Shameful + Instability don't really go that well together, and there are already 2 assassin skills with those words in. "Shameful Instability" doesn't make much sense as a phrase to me.

Sorry if this topic has been done before, I didn't see a topic.

Anyway, let the speculation commence!

They're runnning out of skill names, i swear.. Although the dervish ones are very good, and "Can't touch this!" Is classic.

I like the skill names, enadiz headbutt is so funny man. I dont even really follow soccer and I still got the joke.

tripwire just sounds like a really really annoying trap. No matter what it does, I have a feeling itll piss me off.

The Elemental Group sounds very interesting...

Ebon Hawk, Earth Shards, Mystic Lightning, Sandstorm, Djinn this n that, sounds like some elementalists will be very happy.

Elemental Flame- hmmm they ARE elementalists... (smacks head Doh!)

Golden Rhino Bash - assassin skill? or the next holiday event/? You be the judge....

Oh and the award for the Happiest, Prettiest sounding necro skill in guild wars history goes to: Enchanted Parasite (cute!)

I speculate that the Enadiz headbutt will cause dazed.

CalypsoX · Sep 21, 2006, 04:51 PM // 16:51

Unnatural Pain is definitely there to counter spirit spammers. I'm going to guess caster takes X amount of damage whenever they cast a spirit.

It seems unlikely that there will be repeat assisin and rt skills. Why? Because only factions players will have access to create assissins and ritualists. Thus, there would be no need to create duplicate skills (since people who have sins and rts already by definition own factions and thus, by definition have access to those original skills in the first place). Also, all sins and rts skills are currently "officially" classified in game as "factions campaign" instead of core skills.

Oh, and watchful healing sounds like a watchful spirit clone.

I disagree. There can be added benefit to having duplicate skills in your skillbar. For example - the Touch Ranger build - *ducks flames*. It's not simply a matter of having access to the skill.

Also, you will notice that all skills that were duplicated in Factions were not Core skills, but Prophecies skills, so, I'm not real sure what point you are making with that last sentence.
