Seriously though, just imagine how awesome that would be, it would add such a great twist on char building and would make arena combat the stuff of legend...

for the next 15 seconds you can not be exhausted, you have infinite energy, and your skills recharge 90% faster.

If failed you loose all energy, and gain exhastion.

thats actually a somewhat crappy version of ether renewal

Great against those pesky casters that run around in circles.

I'd like to change it into this.
"Fight Me!" (5 Energy, 30s recharge, Tactic)

Elite Shout. For 5-20 seconds, all the nearby foes can attack only you. Your movement is reduced by 50%.

Summon fire-elemental Enchantment spell-fire magic
energy cost: 15 casting time: 3 recharge time: 25 upkeep 1

while you maintain this enchantment, you Summon a lvl 10-20 fire elemental. whenever you take fire damage 10%-30% of that damage is transfered to the fire elemental and you loose 2 energy. the fire elemental will die if your energy reaches zero or this enchantment gets removed. when the elemental dies you suffer from exhaustion.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
the idea with the elementals is to allow the elementalist to have some kind of pet(working partially as tank atleast in PvE) the elementals will have their own low lvl skills like the different npc golems in the game...obviously air and fire golems are not in the game but these will have the same low lvl skills that you find in these branches of magic E.g. flare and lightning touch etc. the only elemental that doesn't have any abilities except for beating people on the head is the ether elemental which is just supposed to be an energy battery with some drawbacks if you fail to keep it alive. now before you go moaning about these elementals overshadowing ranger pets or necro minions you'll note that there are some quite different pros and cons with them compared.

compared to necros minions: the necro will for the most part(if properly played) be able to raise far more minions than elementals. they don't cost anything to maintain but their health will slowly dwindle...also minions are much more disposable where the elementals will cause exhaustion if they die)

compared to pets: you will be able to summon more elementals than pets for obvious reasons...that is if you're willing and capable of dealing with the energy upkeep. also elementals have 3 ways you can dispose of them...getting rid of the enchantment, killing the elemental normally or if the casters energy reaches zero.

now on with the show...I've got a couple of more ideas

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mesmer

Thin air hex spell-domination
energy cost: 20 casting time: 1 recharge time: 15

for 5-10 seconds whenever target foe casts a spell he suffers from exhaustion.

Hex siphon enchantment spellinspiration magic
energy cost: 10 casting time: 1 recharge time: 10

for each hex you suffer you gain energy regeneration 1-3

Guise hex spell-illusion magic
energy cost: 10 casting time: 1 recharge time: 10

for 8-18 seconds target foe only recieves 80%-50% benefit from healing and you get 20%-50% of the intended healing.

Spell dodger stanceunlinked
energy cost: 5 casting time: ½ recharge time: 8

for 10 seconds next time you would have been the target of an offensive spell or hex, random nearby creature is affected by the spell instead and spell dodger ends.

Deflect spell enchantment spelldomination
energy cost: 15 casting time: 1 recharge time: 20

for 8-18 seconds the next time target ally would have been the target of an offensive spell or hex, random nearby foe is affected by the spell instead. and deflect spell ends.

Warrior

Jaw Breaker attack skill Strength
energy cost: 10 adren casting time: ½ recharge time: N/a

disable all targets spells and shouts for 2-8 seconds, if target is casting a spell it is interupted.(50% chance failure with strength below 5)

Body shield skill tactics
energy cost: 5 adren casting time: ½ recharge time: N/A

for 5-10 seconds the next time you would have recieved a condition, random adjacent foe suffer that condition instead and body shield ends.

lucky blow attack skilltactics
energy cost: 10 casting time: ½ recharge time: 8

ends all stances & preperations. this attack cannot miss, be evaded or blocked and has a 45%-90% chance of critical hit.

Ram Stancetactics
energy cost: 5 casting time: ½ recharge time: 15

for 8-13 seconds you move 33%-50% faster, if you strike a foe, that foe takes +1-10 damage and is knocked down. all your non attack skills are disabled for 5 seconds.

Necromancer

Army of the dead spell death magic
energy cost: 20 casting time: 3 recharge time: 20

sacrifice 10% max health, exploit all nearby(adjacent/small area) corpses to raise one lvl 0-5 bone minion for each corpse.

Raise Ally enchantment spell death magic
energy cost: 20 casting time: 2 recharge time: 30

bring target touched ally back to life with full health and energy. that ally cannot block or evade attacks and skills take twice as long to recharge, but he takes 33%-50% less damage from attacks. after 60 seconds or if this enchantment is removed target ally dies, deaths while under the effect of "raise ally" does not incur any death penalty.

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

I probably have some more....but can't come up with them right now. if you have any coments or questions feel free to ask and I'll do my best to clarify or tweak the skills.

Xue Yi Liang · Sep 23, 2005, 06:32 PM // 18:32

Wedgee - target takes damage equal to their armor value times the number of attackers around him/her

Rockem Sockem - hammer attack - if successful, target's head is knocked clean off and flies off into nearby shrubbery. Body suffers from effects of "Blind" until head is retrieved.

Earthworm –axe attack- target enemy is cut in half down the middle. Enemy retains control of top half where he is able to either fight or crawl at cripple speed – but not at the same time. Meanwhile lower half of body runs around randomly unless caught – which causes skill to end.

Pinata's Curse {Elite} - target will immediately dump all contents of bags and backpacks - which anyone can collect

Antman - target enemy suffers from half health, energy, armor, weapon damage and height. This is a spammable skill – after the 6th time the enemy is reduced to a single pixel and can be squashed like a bug underfoot.

Aura of the Glitch - all enemies within a certain radius fall into any nearby map glitches for 10 seconds (e.g. stuck in stairs or in a rock)

Leash Law Curse - makes target Ranger pet remain within the aggro circle of the owner at all times. If Ranger calls a target - the pet will attack but also pull the Ranger along keeping him in the aggro radius.

Rabid Curse - makes target Ranger pet attack owner with added poison damage

Barrel of Monkeys - (for PvP) your entire team appears as Mo/W to the other team for 12-35 seconds

Bullybait - warrior skill - cast on self - to the enemy you appear as a Mo/W with a low health bar - the chat gets spammed with "I have 2 out of 35 energy!"

Kick Me! - target foe is automatically targeted by all missile attacks including bolts launched by their own team

Happy Feet - target is locked in /dance emote for x seconds or until attacked (works a lot like pacifism)

Nitrous Oxide - target is stuck in /laugh emote for duration of the skill or until he is attacked

Shock Treatment {Elite}- target enemy suffers from Crippling Anguish and receives Enervating Shocks on a random basis for the duration of the skill

Illusion of Wealth - looks like someone dropped a sigil - or other rare item - if enemy is prone to reflexive grabbing the victim will suffer 18-60 lightning damage

Buddy Joe - conjures an average guy in a polo shirt and dockers - he will approach target saying, "Can I borrow some money?" and repeatedly try to open a trade screen. He will not go away until he is given 1 gp. Until then he acts as a permanent interrupt preventing all attacks and skills. Joe is impervious to all attacks.

Internal Revenue - creates a lvl 6 IRS agent - attacks don't do physical damage but each strike takes 20-30% of gold on player. If player is out of gold then each strike takes a random piece of equipment - including equipped armor weapons and runes!

Alimony {Elite} - creates a lvl 10 ex-spouse. Like Internal Revenue but each strike takes 50% of gold. If player is out of gold then he is afflicted with Crippling Anguish for an unspecified length of time

"Leeroy!" - Shout - Warrior gains +25% speed. Also gains attack and armor bonus that is directly proportional to his distance from the rest of the group. For the duration of skill - player chat is disabled from receiving messages.

Pacman - conjures Lvl 8 Pacman that devours all spirits, minions, traps and pets in it's path.

Glen/Glenda Hex - changes gender of target - effects are permanent unless higher level remove hex is applied or same caster applies Hex again

Attention Span - target will lose the ability to skip cutscenes for the next 5-10 quests.

Grand Mal Curse - the target's computer screen starts to strobe blue and red - with luck it'll send them into an epileptic seizure...

Popup Hex - {Elite} (for PvP)- target gets screen popup ads that appear at a rate of 3 pips. Effects last 120 seconds or until they clear all popups which will end Popup Hex

Xiao Xiao {elite} - enchantment - all of a sudden your skill bar stretches around the edge of your GUI to accommodate all the warrior skills including all the elites. Energy goes to 500 but energy pip goes to zero. Enchantment lasts until you're out of energy.

Taco Bell - target suffers from debilitating abdominal cramps and flatus for 30-50 seconds

Eternal Banishment {super-elite} - the most feared curse of all - target will unknowingly receive 11gig file of kiddie-porn on their comp. FBI, CNN and their parents are simultaneously notified, and target is banished from quest/match, GW, their home, family, job and freedom for next 10-20 years.

Very cool idea. It would add a whole boatload of new skills. 6-12 for each combination I am sure would be difficult to implement, but sounds like it could make people more likely to use both professions more.
