Please keep the ideas coming!

I would LOVE to see more traps implemented because the only use for the current ones are trapping Zaishen Elite, its a shame because I really enjoy trapping

3 second cast time!? Sure its a good snare but 3 second touch skill? if your snaring a warrior or sin, youd be dead in 3 seconds 0_0

Good skill but i feel needs at least a 1 second cast time, reduce the health degen and/or remove the snare. Otherwise you could snare foes in a MS or SF Spike. I like hexes cast and recharge though

umm.... OP with the energy regeneration. (fyi, The Power is Yours! gives +1 energy regen for 3 seconds.) Remove the energy regen and its a viable skill

Monk - Healing Prayers
"Koneko!" (Elite) (I'm seriously bad at names for skills alright...)
Energy: 5
Blood: 10%
Recharge: 30 Seconds
Selected ally is healed for 10..20..50% health and 1...10...100% energy. This skill cannot selftarget. And fails unless you have 13 Healing Prayers.

Lol this skill would own D:

Monk - Healing Prayers
"Koneko!" (Elite)

Compared to other suggestions, even on this page... no, i better won't comment.

Quote:

Ward of Dark Magic - Elementalist - Energy Storage

OP. Non-ele. Would suit to be necro's well or mesmer's mantra with 'in the area' range.

Quote:

Dwayna's Favor - Monk - Divine Favor

The free-energy problem hasn't been fully solved. 90% failure and 7+ DF would be better.

Quote:

Heaven's Shield - Monk - Protection Prayers (Elite)

Add 'if that ally uses a skill or hits with attack'. Seriously, 6s invincibility with great regen? Critscythe sin paradise.

Quote:

Ward of Chaos - Elementalist - Earth Magic (Elite)

Chaos isn't anyhow connected to earth magic. Chaos is mesmer's attribute. The skill itself is quite fun, but would work as mesmer's mantra with 'in the area' range and energy/health lost on chaos damage.

Quote:

Deadly Scythe - Dervish - Scythe Mastery

Move to Mysticism, change name - would aid dervishes rather than crit sins or str wars.

Quote:

"For Balthazar!" - Paragon - Command

No recharge, 4 strikes of adrenaline, command line, ~8s duration...
A perfectly maintainable 33% IAS for the whole party?
Move to motivation, add recharge (6s? 10s? or 4s + increased adrenaline cost).

Quote:

Symbolic Disenchantment - Mesmer - Inspiration Magic

'Symbolic' is wording connected with signets. Make it a signet or change name.

Quote:

Stone Spikes - Elementalist - Earth Magic

Too cheap and cast too fast for the AoE damage and effect. Would be overused for farming only. 1-2s cast time, 10-15e cost.

Quote:

Destructive Was Glaive

I'm actually all in for adding exhaustion on it - or giving it higher cost / longer recharge, at least. Would kill Glaiveway without big changes to other skills.

Quote:

Shadow Form

SF is still too powerful. The hit/spells condition might be added to the already existing version. Also 5e cost, wtf?

Quote:

Obsidian Flesh

So, kill Ele's tanking and make sins much better than they already are?
OF is actually quite balanced for its purposes right now, no need to really hammer it down more.

Quote:

Save Yourselves

Maybe it's the language barrier, but yourselves indicates that the user is selfless, like 'save yourselves, i'll stop them!'. Something like Gandalf on the bridge of Khazad-Dum, if you still don't get the idea.

Quote:

Blinding Light - Monk - Smiting Prayers

Nice one, though would require split for PvP - 20s recharge, 10-15e cost, maybe even 2s cast. Or maybe 'adjacent to you' instead of 'target foe and foes adjacent to it'.
Even for PvE it might be a bit too much.

Quote:

Merciless Shot - Ranger - Expertise

Perma caster hate that completely disables your target?
Too much for PvP. Fun for PvE, would encourage people to actually run interrupts.

Quote:

Webs of Torture - Necromancer - Blood Magic

Make it non-AoE in the first place.
1s cast, 20 recharge, -2...4...6 degen, 33% slower movement. 10e cost for PvP.

Quote:

Mimic Vitality - Mesmer - Fast Casting

Now that'd be nice, no idea why a skill like that never got into the game.

Please keep in mind that this thread is only going to remain open (or at least inside Sardelac) as long as the mindset remains that these skills suggestions would be productive when introduced to the game. The mindset that these suggestions are "for the fun of it" does not belong here.

This sounds exactly like he is saying it, saying "Save yourselves, I'll stop them!" still should mean something like he is going to buff himself and stop the enemies for his party. I don't know maybe we are just interpreting the skill differently.

X Dr Pepper X · Nov 04, 2010, 04:56 PM // 16:56

The vast majority of the people creating skills do not understand the boundries and limitations of professions.

Rangers should not remove enchantments with their ranger skills.

Necromancers should not snare.

Necros should not cause burning.

Monks should not gain excessive energy management.

gr8hund · Nov 05, 2010, 01:27 AM // 01:27

New skills should wait for gw2 for the most part but I would really like to see some of the still pitiful outdated elites given a face lift. A good example would be shatterstorm. Why on earth would this ever be an elite when there are skills like expunge enchantments, well of the profane etc. that do the job without penalty and are more effective? Mesmers have better enchantment removals that are not elite.

As an ele I would also like to see Air return to it's original majesty with lightning surge as an aoe knockdown again, I'd like to see ice generally snare at least with maybe another utility enchantment that causes all ice damage to also slow. Energy management to some degree and casting times to a greater degree make earth very difficult to play. I'd like to see changes that make playing elements other than fire and to a lesser degree air, more practicle.

I know it's a tough balance and both ice and earth get too strong very fast.
