Blunt Shot - Expertise
10 e | Normal | 15s
Bow Attack - If Blunt Shot hits, any stance used by target foe ends. Also, if target foe is suffering from Dazed, that foe is knocked down for 3 seconds. This attack deals only 1..20 damage. (26 at Exp. 15)

10e seems reasonable even for 3 sec knockdown, since Dazed is rarely seen.

Casting time 1/4 second, cost 5, recharge N/A

Casting Tabula Rasa blanks your skillbar except for Tabula Rasa, and allows you to place skills on your skillbar while out of town; it functions like the resurrection signet, only useable once.

Oh wth, I don't visit this forum enough but I can think of a few things... [some very unfair elites I might add]

Hemmorage Artery {E}
Skill Atb: Swordsmanship
Cost: 6a.
If this attack hits, target suffers from bleeding for 15-36 seconds and takes +10-38 damage. This damage is doubled if their hp is above 50% [YOU HEARD RIGHT, ABOVE 50%!!]

If you use it in conjunction with Gash and Final Thrust, the Sword could very well outdamage the axe. Just a thought...

Feet Crusher
Skill atb: Hammer Mastery
Cost: 7a.
If this attack hits, target suffers from Cripple for 10s. If target was knocked down, duration is doubled as well as +15-27 damage.

Face Chop
Skill atb: Axe Mastery
Cost: 8a.
If this attack hits, it deals +10-20 extra damage and target suffers from blindness for 7-10 seconds

Decapitate {E} (oh good heavens...)
Skill atb: Axe Mastery
Cost: 10a.
Lose all adrenaline. Target loses 50% of their current hp. That damage is doubled if they're suffering from Cripple, Weakness, and Deep Wound. Chance to fail: 50% if axe mastery < 13

LOL!!!!

Align · Oct 31, 2005, 10:55 PM // 22:55

That last is waaaay to specific, and face chop seems odd somehow...
Feet Crusher should probably cost 5e instead, orrr cause knock down and lose all adrenaline. Be a bit like Heavy Blow then but eh...

It can kill you in one swing regardless of what the enemy is doing [unless you miss/blocked]

It doesn't deal damage so in text, you can't stop it using things like protective spirit or shielding hands...

That and it's just a gag but I thought a little through it and though it's stupidly conditional, it could be the BOMB for the right situation.

[4s. kill if the monk isn't awake]
[kill almost any boss in pve in 4s.]

yeah, but hey, it's not gonna happen and with a situation like that, you NEED it to be conditional. [to be able to deal 50% current hp in one swing is too Godlike and to have it double [aka instant kill] is just 0_0]

*just thought i'd explain this one a bit. Teleport in a game such as this would be extremely powerful. as an escape tool. as a travel tool. or even a way to recover a mistake in a mission. The exhaustion is to prevent over use of the skill. most classes could only use it 2-3 times and be completely drained of energy, elementalists could use it more yes but only to a point for the sake of balance it might be best as an elite but i'm not 100% sure*

Thats all of them for now i'll probably come up with more later. I'd would really like some feedback on these if you guys like them and maybe help me out with some balance issues...

Man i wish anet had a skill building system so i could use points to balance these.

and overpowered is the order of the day

lets start with elemental fury:

do the math with a max fireball and max fury:

91x5= 455 area of effect damage gg you already nearly wiped the entire enemy team, but the fun doesn't stop there! add in your 20 seconds timeframe for this spell and you can get two fireballs off...lets update the equation kids!

91x5= 455x2= 910 area of effect damage!

and just in case there's a straggler around you can actually get a 3rd fireball off if your reaction time is good...there might be some aftercast I dunno...but just for the heck of it throw in glyph of sacrifice and you definitly get that extra fireball off thats 1365 area of effect damage.

now lets move on...

wailing of the damned... now lets see health AND energy degen at 4 for 20 seconds, I'm going to leave the math with regen pips up to other people that know more about it, but from what I can gather the degen seen here isn't matched by any other spell in the game. not only that but lets add a effect very similar to dazed(probably most feared condition by spellcasters) and to top it off if you die with this shit on you(which is probably very likely) not one, but two master less bone minions are raised. yipeee!

on to wave of overpow...I mean renewal:

instant cast area of effect heal(only affecting party members) it's one of the highest monk heal aviable(only slightly outdone by divine healing) and that's not even counting bonus for divine favour or the 10 seconds of 3 health regen(which I recon will make the total amount of health healed outdo divine healing)...not only that but it also deals 180 damage to adjacent foes...guess what that's right that's the highest single burts area of effect damage aviable in game(btw holy damage completely ignores armor AFAIK so no need for 20% armor penetration)

you make up for it alittle with the energy cost and recharge time...but still this skill is overpowered and tries to cram too much into one skill.

as for bramble dash...how would you define the gameplay mechanic "pursuing"???

ps. I just noticed that simply using flare will result in crazy damage with elemental fury:

5x40=200 damage

flare cast time 1 second so

5x40= 200x20 = 4000 damage!

pps. can we please stop with the gimmick submissions? that stuff stopped being funny after the first one.
