Just imagine... a D/A spike, 3 Dervs shadowstep to a target and kill him... and each other

(I'm not even getting into the fun of a Shockwave spike, rofl)

And now imagine a typical AB match, when right on the start there's someone with a retarded build full of PBAoE nukes and kills all his allies!

Oh, and who has a link to a Gaile talk about alpha times when she was the infamous arrow-in-the-back teammate ;d

/ not signed Sounds like quite a bad idea to me. If you want to play other players is that not what PvP is all about. If any thing why not have a PvP area where you could chalange one player to single combat. Or make an area of HoH where you could chalange a team to combat. You would be able to pick a certain team or player to play.

Friendly fire didn't work very well in AoC. Your group members get pissed if you kill them. Was amusing for a few minutes, then it just got annoying.

LOL! Ursan Blessing nerf: Ursan Rage now damages and knocks down all creatures in <given range>.

Everyone has thought about what would happen if [Spiteful Spirit] or [Meteor Shower] were used, but what if skills from [Ursan Blessing] were used? Everyone would spike each other for a couple hundred damage and be knocked down while getting massacred by enemies.

Friendly fire should exsist, unfortunatly It would mean reworking the entire game.

example of FF:
Ranger class, IF the ranger attacks miss and there is a war in front then there should be a % chance that the war gets the FF. There would also need to be skills that did not have FF built into them, like a persision shot. There would also need to be skills that increased the % of FF like barrage and volly. As stated before it would only consider FF if there was a miss and then add in a % for it. Now look at ignight arrows, that looks like a FF situation % increase as the arrows EXPLODE.

Like others have stated meteor shower and fire storm look and feel like unconditional damage to everything, however fireball would prob have a % on it as well as meteor (like splash damage). but take a spell like chain lighting that if it hits a party member it could reset its target count......ZoT!

Hexes like spitful Spirit would need to only effect like races. dwarves = no FF where as corsiar = human = FF.

Wars should also have a FF % roll on a miss if there are other melee players/pets in range. We have all seen the movies where someone swings a sword misses and stabs there own people.

I do not believe that you should be able to directly target freindly party members with a hostile attack as that is a direct attack and not FF.

Perhaps adding in a mesmer enchant/hex that would redirect hostile/freindly spells to the opposing team would also be more doable.

Monks already have a true aoe heal, look at heal area for example.

FF should be a rare occurance not the "norm" and definatly not intentional. It would add a nice flavor to the game if done correctly, unfortunatly this will never happen in GW1.

Yep the teenies would go wild over it............the people that rage when they are getting PWN would purposely try hit teammates, bad Idea for PvP nice for PvE.
