"for 0..4..6

finally something to counter the countless RoJ's @ JQ

Lawliet Kira · Mar 29, 2009, 07:40 PM // 19:40

The Elemental State [E]- 100 energy, 120 recharge, 2 sec cast- For 1..15 seconds, you enter the elemental state, you move 25% faster and all elemental spells you cast cost no energy and have 50% less recharge time, all elemental spells cast 50% faster ,you can not lose energy or regain energy while in this state. All elemental spells do 100% more damage. When this enchantment ends, you lose your remaining energy and your full energy bar is filled with exhaustion and you lose half of your remaining health. You may not cast any other enchantments while under this one, all current enchantments are removed and you cannot be the target of any enchantments under this enchantment.
-Energy Storage

Overpowered? The after effects are harsh

Elemental Comet 25e 30r 2c [E]- Summon an elemental comet, all elementalists and their attributes are increased by 4(Includes foe elementalists also). For every elemental spell that ally/foe casts they lose 30 health. The comet goes away after 1..15 seconds. Energy Storage.

idk if this one is such a good idea.

Defender of the Elements [E]-50e 25r 1c- Target foe takes 10..50 fire damage, 10..50 water damage, 10..50 earth damage, and 10..50 air damage. Target foe begins burning for 1..10 seconds, moves slower by 66% for 1..10 seconds, is weakened for 1..10 seconds, and blinded for 1..10 seconds. Energy storage

Elementalists' Revenge [E] 25e 15r 1c- For 1..10 seconds, every time you get hurt by target foe, they suffer either 10..50 fire damage and burning for 1..10 seconds, 10..50 water damage, and 1..10 seconds 66% slower movement, 10..50 air damage and are blinded for 1..10 seconds, or 10..50 earth damage and are knocked down for 2..3 seconds. Energy Storage

Fire Dance [E] 25e 10r 1c-You initiate the fire dance, for every successful movement target foe takes 10..40 damage. There are a total of 1..3 movements. (This next description is diffrent every time you enter a zone, or activate this skill) Up down down left.(He wouldn't be dancing, but like ddaaancing...get my meaning?" Fire magic.

Circle of Fire [E] 25e 15r 2c-Surround target foe and all near target foe with a circle of fire surrounding target foes aggro area for 30 seconds. If target foe attempts to leave the area through the fire, target will take 40...150 damage and burn for 1..10 seconds. Fire damage

Thought it would be unique

Water Rider [E] 25e 10r 1c-Summon water and ride on it for 10 seconds.(You control it yourself), as you move the water will turn to ice. After this stance is over, the ice will shoot out in spikes in deal 10..100 damage to all foes near the ice. You move 25% faster during this.

Fun huh?

Here's my skill

Dementia - Elite Hex Spell.(energy required - 15, activation time - 1/4, recharge time - 45 seconds)
For 30 seconds you and target foe are hexed with Dementia. While under this hex, target foe takes 3...15 damage each second, can't attack, cast spells, shout, use stances or signets and moves 90% slower. You face -10....-4 health regeneration, take 50%...20% more damage and healing is reduced to half. This hex can't be removed from foe nor you. (Domination Magic)

-By using this skill, the Mesmer totally paralyzes the foe's mind and body but also gets punished because it is a bad skill for both sides. This skill was used a lot in ancient times. It was the new Mesmers who banned it from all Mesmer Schools. They considered it "Highly Dangerous". Most likely foe will die and mesmer will face severe mental wounds. The Mesmer needs to be extremely experienced in the mesmeric arts to make it work right. It sort of requires the Mesmer's sacrifice and should not be used wrong.

Other info:
-If one of the hexed people dies, the hex ends.
-It is not affected by Hex Resistance/Halving (Hex Breaker).
-The fact that it can't be removed is due to the Mesmer having complete control of the foe's mind.
-When this hex is cast, target foe's action is also interrupted.
-There is no known counter for it.
-It is not recommended for low-level mesmers as the punishment is worse than the effect on foe with low Domination attribute. It's the only skill that such a case exists.

I even have created an icon :P

i love it, although i do forsee one thing.

1 Dementia Mesmer,
1 monk whatever
1 nuker
1 warrior

Dementia cast on enemy monk, nuker and war gank monk.

Every team would end up like that.

My skills

Haven't thought hard about any of these, but here goes.

Ranger:

Headshot!(E)
15e
1/4 casting time
20r

+10...20..25 damage, interrupt target foes spell, interruption effect : Inflict daze 2...6..8 seconds

(How could they miss out a headshot?)

Elementalist:

Lake of fire
10e
1 casting time
30r

Open up a lake of fire at target foes location for 5 seconds. Foes are struck for 10...30..40 fire damage per second, foes not moving will suffer from burning for 0...3..4 seconds.

(If they're not moving, then they would be drowning, hence the burning effect)

IMO water skills need to be buffed, or more added so im just gonna suggest a few water skills.

Cold Touch
5e
1/4 casting time
20r

Touch skill. For 10 seconds target foe moves 90% slower. This target is immune from physical damage for 10 seconds.

(The idea behind this one is, with a cold touch you freeze the enemy, and i dunno if anyone has ever taken a sword to a huge frozen block of ice, but i doub't you'l inflict much damage to the ice, therefore this enemy is immune to physical damage, its also to stop assassins using it to snare their target in PVP)

Hypothermia
10e
1 casting time
25r

Hex Spell. For 10 seconds target foe moves 66% slower, and suffers 10...30..35 cold damage whilst standing still.

(To overcome hypothermia one must reheat the body, best done by remaining active, eg walking.)

Liquid Intensity (Couldn't think of a better name)
15e
1 casting time
20r

Hex Spell. For 15 seconds target suffers 10...40..50% more damage from air magic

(Simple idea, if you stand in water, and someone throws a plugged in toaster into the water your standing it. Its gonna hurt...Bad.)

I feel that the water elementalist skills are way, way underpowered.
Mainly because they all have long casting times (generally 2 seconds) hence why i kept mine low. They all have high energy (15e-25e for the good skills) so i've also tried to keep mine low.

And although there are many "Target foe moves slower" skills in water magic, no of them do decent damage, and thats to encourage you to use 2 elements at the same time. IMO its hard to use 2 elements at the same time and have decent energy management, and decent damage output. So i want to give an overall buff to water magic so people can use it, and have good snaring capabilities, and decent damage output.

lewis91 · May 31, 2009, 02:32 AM // 02:32

Ok instead of adding more to the last post il just make another post lol.

Elementalist cont

Water cont

Mirror of ice(E) (i know its already a spell but just change it to this)
15e
1/2 cast time
20r

Enchantment 15seconds. Everytime you take physical damage the attacker will sufffer 15...40..45 cold damage, your attacker moves 33% slower.

That would be amazing defence against a sin wouldnt it eh? Knockdown sin comes at you, with 580 health you'l generally survive with 180HP left (standard A/W knockdown build) during that time they would of hit you at least 15 times (just taking a guess) so thats 600 cold damage at 12 water magic.

You could run around asking to be ganked lol.

Id like a simular spell for each element.

Fire magic

Burning Shield(E)
15e
1/2 cast time
20r

Enchantment 15seconds. Everytime you take physical damage the attacker will sufffer 15...40..45 fire damage, and suffers from burning 1second.

(only 1 second because burning is quite nasty and it will be re applied every hit)

Earth Magic

Stone Wall(E)
15e
1/2 cast time
20r

Enchantment 15seconds. Everytime you take physical damage the attacker will sufffer 15...40..45 earth damage, your attacker suffers from weakness 4 seconds.

Electric Defence(E)
15e
1/2 cast time
20r

Enchantment 15seconds. Everytime you take physical damage the attacker will sufffer 15...40..45 lightning damage, your attacker suffers from cracked armor.

As you can see i love my ele, and id love new skills for him.

Heres a few id like to see for my necro

Death Magic

Animate Undead Lich(E)
15e
3 cast time
45r

Elite Spell. Creates a level 5...24...28 undead lich. Exploits a fresh corpse. The lich dies after 30s. You can have only one undead lich at a time.

Necrophagous Swarm(E) (Or Carrion Feeder Swarm, whichever sounds more nasty

)
20e
2 cast time
30r

Elite Spell. At targets location, all foes suffer from -4 health degeneration, and take 5...15..20 (Untyped) damage per second. 10 seconds.

Curses

Tormentors Grip
10e
2 cast time
45r

Spell. Target and adjacent foes move 66% slower for 5...8..10 seconds and take 10...40..50% more cold damage.

So you could have a team set up like this.
1 Necro caller - Tormentors Grip
5 Necro Spammers - Deathly swarm
1 tank
1 healer.

Probably no where near as affective as RoJ teams but thatl be nerfed one day

So after the tnak aggros, balls up, caller calls, the 5 necros should hit for a total of 675 cold damage on a 60al target. It would deal more damage than that to the mob as a whole because it would be 5 x 3 (deathly swarm hits 3 foes) x 90 x 50% obviously larger mobs would take less damage because deathly swarm might not hit the same foe the second time round. So this would slow down speed clears (FoWSC anyway) as most necros would probably have to cast at least 1 more time. And it would also be quick for the tank to aggro 1 mob at a time because the smaller the mob, the more the mob takes damage each.

* This can be used to both disable enemy traps and move your traps somewhere else, in a similar way Summon Spirits is used. You will have to lay the traps again, though.

refer · Jun 01, 2009, 03:46 PM // 15:46

I suck at energy cost and recharge times, I'd make everything too weak or imba lol. I'll try for some but leave the rest alone just so the idea is there.

Mesmer
Clutterer (from the speech disorder)
Hex spell 15e/2s/20r
For ___ seconds, target's spells may or may not be the ones they used. Skills can be activated but target might not get what they want unless they keep activating skills. And if you have really fast skills you won't be able to cancel them.

Tourettes (elite form of Clutterer)
Skills randomly activate themselves.

Stutter
Hex Spell 15e/4s/20r
Target's spells take 2-3(max) times to activate. They fail otherwise. So somebody would have to cast the same thing twice for it to not fail.

Mute
Elite hex -/4s/-
Target foe's spells take 500% of the time to activate. You take 50% more damage and activate spells 33% slower. This could shutdown anybody (1/4s spells take 1.25s to activate) but robs you of most fast casting.

Mysterious Ways
Elite enchantment spell -/3s/-
Every hex you cast becomes an enchantment and negatives become positives... for example backfire cast on somebody would heal them every time they cast a spell. The only thing is they would see the skill as a hex so they might be inclined to NOT do something when they see the hex.

Wastrel's Bully
Elite hex
If target foe stops casting spells for 2 seconds, they take ___ damage. Doesn't end after the damage happens, but not sure how to balance.

Monk, Mesmer, or Ritualist (not sure):
Weaken Hex
Enchantment -/1s/-
Hexes effects grow weaker the more the longer they last. For example, if a skill was cast with 10 water magic and lasted for 10 seconds, when it had 3 seconds left it'd be as if it was cast with 3 water magic instead of 10. Kind of an alternative to removing hexes

Ritualist
Otherworldly Support
Elite enchantment/hex -/2s/-
Anybody who casts hexes on target ally suffer are hexed with Otherworldy Support: for 10 seconds, they suffer -5 health degeneration.

Elementalist
Sludge Armor
Enchantment -/1s/-
Anybody who hits target foe becomes crippled for 10 seconds.

EDIT: Or make them maintained enchantments, but for PvE I don't see why they'd need to be balanced considering all the other shit out there.

Morph Flesh Golem
10e 2c 5rc
Target Animated Minion becomes a level 3...21...25 Flesh Golem. Control of this minion stays with the orginal summoner. All other skills that animate minions are disabled for 10 seconds.

*Note: There is no limit on these golems.

Idk, I've always loved the Flesh Golem, but it's not worth the elite slot. Maybe this way it would see some play, except obviously it can't be spammed due to the high energy cost, and you can't create minions while spamming it. Maybe in use with another Minion Master.

Resurrect Target Dead ally with 30-75% health and 1-5% energy
You and Raised Ally suffer a 1-5 Hp degen (OR from bleeding, poison
and desease) for 1-19 seconds.
Mainly a cool Necro PvE rez, which makes 2e profession choosing
easyer, not having to bring only a rezsignet to PvE, also adding to making
a PvE Necro/Monk without the monk spells, there is allready HP sharing
and Energy sharing. All the Necro lacks for a full support is a decent rez.

Next couple of skills are for a death magic Necro that is NOT a MM,
the class has some nice 'Whack on the head' spells but lacks decent
selfheals if not a MM.

Lower your max HP by 10-25% OR suffer from Deep Wounds
