Mesmer:

Neat ideas, Crom!

Mike_version2 · Nov 16, 2006, 06:36 PM // 18:36

Warrior (elite). Primal Strike req 5 adren, melee attack: swing your weapon at target foe, if it hits target foe takes +10....24 damage and starts bleeding for 10....18 seconds, if target foe is knocked down, that foe also suffers from weakness or deep wound for 10 seconds.

all I can think of right now

Chewbacca Defense · Nov 16, 2006, 07:07 PM // 19:07

Primal Scream Chant. For 5..17..21s, effects of all shouts will extend from earshot to longbow range. Shouts under Primal Scream will have a 50%..15%..5% chance of failure.

Bankai · Nov 16, 2006, 07:20 PM // 19:20

All of the skills of the OP sound much more like celestial skills.

And would not fit in GW. Plus their recharge is way too long to be viable.

Spirit of cruelty
Create a lvl [something...soemthing] Spirit of Cruelty. This spirit's attacks inflict bleeding. 15e, 4c, 30r

Chewbacca Defense · Nov 16, 2006, 07:51 PM // 19:51

Chewbacca Defense [10e, 45r] Warrior Tactics Stance - For 5..15..17s, all damage taken by you is reduced by 5..15..20.

Not A Fifty Five · Nov 16, 2006, 07:53 PM // 19:53

concept classes sub section.. add a skill subsection? XD gladiator arena after all has liike.. 5 sub sections

ddraeg cymru · Nov 16, 2006, 08:04 PM // 20:04

Sin - side swipe - stance - for 8...16 seconds next melee attack used against you is dodged and hit target for something...something (dont play sin so dont know

) and target begins bleeding for 5...12 seconds. - shadow arts - 5 energy - 15 second recharge

hehe i like them

not sure bout dervish one tho thought id put sumin in ranger one would have awesome graphics on it...

ubard · Nov 16, 2006, 08:33 PM // 20:33

whoa, with that avatar of mimicry it seems like you could do some crazy stuff.

like there's a full team of 8 mimicry guys, 1 guy uses it (thereby increasing his armor), and then another player uses it on the guy that just used it, and then another guy uses it on the last guy... and so on, until one guy has a rediculous amount of armor!

your Reversal Of Pain there looks very interesting too, although in that state it would be rediculously underpowered. Would need a much smaller recharge, and 5 energy cost for it too even be worth non-elite status imo

(i'll assume you mean target ally, not foe)

i'd so post some skills, if i could think of any... maybe i will.

Helcaraxe · Nov 16, 2006, 08:55 PM // 20:55

Wheeeeee, imo mesmers inspiration is sooo broken, so here's a few ideas for it

Energy Burst {Elite} :5 energy, 1/4 cast, 20sec recharge: Lose all energy, (20%...100%) of the energy lost is divided between target touched ally and all adjacent allies.

Inspire Courage: 10 energy, 1 cast, 20sec recharge: For (5...20) seconds target ally is unaffected by slower attack speeds.

Luck: 10 energy, 1/2 cast, 15sec recharge: For (5...10) seconds target ally has a (5%...50%) chance to do double damage with any attacks or skills.

Drain Proficiency: 15 energy, 2 cast, 25 recharge: For (10...25) seconds target foe has (-1...-3) to all attributes. You gain the number of points lost to your Inspiration Attribute, for half of the duration of the hex.

ubard · Nov 16, 2006, 09:19 PM // 21:19

here's some, i knew i could think of a few:

-MONK

Rejuvinating Wave [Healing Prayers Elite] - (5E, 2C, 7R,) For 5 seconds, this enchantment does nothing. After 5 seconds, all nearby allies are healed for 10...60 health and knocked down. All nearby foes are also knocked down.

Aura of Protection [Protection Prayers Elite] - (5E, 2C, 25R, -1Eregen) While you maintain this enchantment, all damage dealt too nearby allies is reduced by 2...13. When this enchantment ends, all nearby allies are healed for 30...80 health and lose one condition.

Empowering Wind [Healing Prayers Enchantment] - (10E, 1/4, 4R) Every 3 seconds, target ally is healed for 50...150 and is knocked down. This enchantment ends after 12 seconds.

Divine Price [Divine Favor Enchantment] - (5E, 1C, 15R) For 50 seconds, your armor is reduced by 45...30 , and monk spells you cast remove 1 hex.

Wrathful Burst [Smiting Prayers Elite] - (10E, 3C, 20R) Target foe takes 100...200 damage, and all nearby foes are knocked down.

Hand Of The Acolyte [Divine Favor Elite] - (5E, 1C, 10R) Target other ally is healed for 100 health and is teleported to you. (50% chance of failure with divine favor 4 or less)

-MESMER

Signet of Imbalance - (1C, 15R) If Target foe was knocked down or dead within 3...7 seconds, target foe is knocked down. (i can't remember if this is already a skill...)

i seem too be thinking that monks should be knocking things over... ah well.

i love hand of the acolyte... that's just cool.

wrathful burst is clearly simply designed for a spike build, but i gave it some 3 second recharge so it would be at least easy too interrupt/prot. You could easily use it too spike out two players while both monks are knocked down. (by the same spell)

you would, of course, need too be using cop or realese (sp?) enchantments with that divine price thing there.

rejuvinating wave + ward of stability might be a little overpowered.

Helcaraxe · Nov 16, 2006, 09:25 PM // 21:25

omg, hand of the acolyte is my best friend (if it existed). You couyld control those stupid aggro monkeys that want to aggro the entire shiverpeak mountain range. I think it should be healed for (25...100) though. Otheriwse any class could be healing for 100, and if it fails then they only wasted 5 energy ^_^

ubard · Nov 16, 2006, 09:31 PM // 21:31

yeah, that's true.

10 second recharge though. Can't see many people dropping a differant elite of their own class to heal 100 every 10 seconds with a 50% chance of failure.

i was thinking kinda like a return in gvg for the entire team. hatcha!

of course, get a monk that's just hitting it all the time for the heal and you have some mad teammates that keep being dragged around the map

could stop a spike without being worried about being knocked down while you hit return.

changed it too target OTHER ally, since that's what i meant. :P

Saphrium · Nov 16, 2006, 09:33 PM // 21:33
