Here I present you with the Ultimate combo skills.

Mark skills:
- All of them would be PvE skills.
- All of them last only 5 seconds, so players must time a little to have them work together.
- All of them are linked to the primary attribute of a certain profession.
- All of them end at the same time when one of them is triggered.
- All of them require to be triggered to deal damage, otherwise they just end without doing anything.
- The one that triggers the others don't deal damage. So if you apply 8 different marks and ine condition of one f them is met, it triggers the rest without dealing damagee and, you'll get damage from 7 marks.
- The damage is determined by each mark separately.
- Since the condition for each one is different, actually spiking with 8 of them is tricky. To make the damage greater, players must leave the most likely to happen (like a monk healing or a paragon shouting) for the end and start with the ones the can control, such as that target receiving damage.
- All of them deal their damage when they end, just before being removed.
- So, the max damage with rank 13 in the primary attribute of 8 characters with 8 different professions, would be 7*69=483. But if there are only 3 different professions between those 8 characters, the max damage dealt would be 207.
- To sum it all up, if you cast all of them and one of the conditions is met, all of them fire up at the same time, spiking the target. The more different profession bring their mark, the more damage target takes. If all professions are the same, no damage is ever dealt since other marks is required to deal damage.

Victor's Spoils
Blood Magic hex spell

10 energy
2 second cast time
20 second recharge

Target foe is hexed with Victor's Spoils. While hexed with Victor's Spoils, target foe has +10...50....80 health.

Cast this on someone who has Spoil Victor so they are more likely to take the damage from SV. Then when it ends, they lose that health gained. Would make for 1 health targets often, just like Endure Pain does.

I see a lot of good skills. Among my favorites are the following:

Quote:

For 20 seconds, Mantra of Masochism does nothing. When Mantra of Masochism ends, 25...50% of all the damage that was done to you during Mantra of Masochism is dealt to all adjacent foes.

Illusion of Strength
Enchantment Spell (Illusion)

You are no longer weakened. For 3...7 seconds, you deal 8...18 more damage in combat. When Illusion of Strength ends, you suffer from weakness for 15...10 seconds.

Illusion of death Mesmer- illusion
casting time 2 secs recharge time 30 secs energy 15
enchantment spell. this spell last for 10-25 secs. when killed while holding this spell, u are ressurected after 5 secs with 25%-60% hp and 35%-85% enregy.

I think they offer an interesting concept to the game which hasn't been done before and I'd like to see more of. judge1121, I have to give you credit for the Illusion of death skill since you listed it, though I thought of something similar as a non-attribute assasin ability.

I like the idea of skills which break the fourth wall a bit. I don't see why Dazed should just affect the casting of the player when it can affect the visibility of the screen (think of the poison dart in the mission with the temple ruins in Nightfall).

So generally speaking, I like skills which break the fourth wall.

Not bad at all. A powerful elite is allowed so long as it has drawbacks. I would avoid it affecting conditions because we already have Extend Conditions. Just let it affect hexes and enchantments.

Malice. 15 energy, 2 second cast, 30 recharge. Elite necromancer enchantment. For 5..15 seconds, whenever you cast a spell, you steal 5..15 life from each foe under the effect of one of your hexes.

Lexar · Sep 03, 2009, 02:34 PM // 14:34

Strength:

Call of the battle maiden.

10 adrenaline.
4 seconds to cast.

Shout. Has a 20-50% chance to revive all nearby allies and enemies with 20-50% health and 0-20% energy. If the shout fails to revive allies, the nearby corpses become exploited.

This skill should make things hectic.

Owik Gall · Sep 03, 2009, 11:30 PM // 23:30

Taunting Aura
5 Energy. 20 second recharge.
(Tactics) Skill. (2...12...16 seconds.) Other party members within earshot receives (10...20...25) percent less damage. [Foes attacking affected party members gain 20% more adrenaline. Foes gain 3 energy each time they cast a spell on affected party members. You take 20% more damage.]

It's an interesting idea. Especially for PvP. No?

St Lucretia · Sep 07, 2009, 07:26 PM // 19:26

[I'm aware of the long-standing "Create a skill" thread, but that place seems to be a little off-balance.]

I have a collection of 12 new skill ideas per profession (plus 12 PvE skills), many I think are quite novel, useful, potentially good for the game, or just fun.

I know that chance of any new skills being added to the game are very slim, but see what you think; below is a small selection of examples:

Quote:

Warrior: Shielded Defence
Skill. (1...4...5 seconds). The next damage you take is reduced by 5...57...70. No effect unless you are wielding a shield.
1 Adrenaline, 5 Recharge time, Strength

Ranger: Piercing Shot
Bow attack. Deals +1...8...10 damage. +15 seconds recharge if target is below 75...47...40% Health.
10 Energy,1 Activation time, 0 Recharge time, Expertise

Monk: Dispel Hexes
Spell. Remove 1...3...4 hexes from target ally. Gain 1...5...6 energy for each hex removed.
25 Energy, 0.25 Activation time, 5 Recharge time, Divine Favor

Necromancer: Deathly Hallows
Hex Spell. (30 seconds) Deals 15...51...60 cold damage to target each time a creature within earshot dies. Deals an extra 10...34...40 cold damage and this hex ends if that creature was summoned.
17% Sacrifice, 15 Energy, 2 Activation time, 20 Recharge time Death Magic

Mesmer: Price of Greed
Hex Spell. (30 seconds) Causes 5...21...25 damage whenever target foe gains or loses energy.
15 Energy, 2 Activation time, 5 Recharge time, Inspiration Magic

Elementalist: Tremor
Spell. Deals 35...59...65 earth damage each second (3 seconds). Hits foes near target's original location. Causes knock-down to weakened foes.
15 Energy, 2 Activation time, 15 Recharge time, Earth Magic

Assassin: Pain of Inferiority
Hex Spell. (5...17...20 seconds.) Deals 2...16...20 chaos damage to target foe whenever they suffer a critical hit.
10 Energy, 1 Activation time, 10 Recharge time, Deadly Arts

Ritualist: Signet of Spawning
Signet. The next creature you create is 1...3...4 levels higher than normal.
2 Activation time, 30 Recharge time, Spawning Power

Paragon: "You're not alone!"
Shout. Target other ally is healed for 10...42...50 plus an additional 10...18...20 for each nearby foe.
5 Energy, 10 Recharge time, Motivation

Dervish: Raging Tempest
Stance. (1...8...10 seconds) You move 33% faster. The next time you use an attack skill, all adjacent foes are knocked down and this stance ends.
10 Energy, 20 Recharge time, Wind Prayers

For the rest, see my wiki user page.

I like the ideas for the most part, but in all fairness, some are overpowered. For example Shielded Defense- only 1 adren, 5 recharge, 5 sec duration?

Whereas, the ranger, monk, and dervish skill seem to be balanced very well.

it says "next damage you take" not op that much

i can see some of these in GW2. but they probably arent gonna make it for gw

My New Name · Sep 07, 2009, 09:24 PM // 21:24

agree with shoyon on war skill even if its only next attack its still overpowered
maybe if recharge was 10 it would be fair then.
Also i don't see a point in the ranger skill: 10 en for +10 dmg is kinda..........

MrGuildBoi · Sep 08, 2009, 12:05 AM // 00:05

it's in the expertise line. but the +10 is kinda low for 'piercing'

10 Energy,1 Activation time, 0 Recharge time, Expertise

I like the idea, but the 10e cost kinda ruins its spammability.

17% Sacrifice, 15 Energy, 2 Activation time, 20 Recharge time Death Magic

Taste of Death<-- That allows 100 damage dealt and 400 health gained every 1/4 second up to ten times.

Bellus · Sep 08, 2009, 08:05 AM // 08:05

Good stuff. Wrapping it up wiki-style really helps to get the right idea.

Tangible Feedback:

*Blaze deserves an elite status, imo.

*Sin's Magehunter Strike - Warriors already have it.. the name at least [Jump].

*Smoke Bomb could do without the poison effect. Kinda kills Viper's Defense otherwise.

*Most of your Paragon shouts have tacky names - no offense

. e.g. "Always Outnumbered, Never Overcome!" - nice idea but I can't imagine someone shouting this on a battlefield.

*Name change suggestion: from "Fight for all you're worth!" to "Rush Them!"

----------------------------------------

"Victory or Death!"

Shout. (0...8...10 seconds). You move and attack 25% faster. You take 100...60...50% more damage and and receive 50...30...25% less benefit from healing. -- on the main board at least.

*Unstable smash

*Stumbling spear

*Rt's Soulspire Gaze is named Wailing on the main board.

--sry, worked as a spellchecker.

---------------------------------------

I know it's not same as coming up with your own, but feel free to spin/alter/mod/rip the skills I posted some time ago. [Jump]

PS Save some ideas for GW2.
