so let me get this straight....

1) All creatures within earshot cant move (0_o)
2) They cannot attack....or use skills...lol
3) They cant take damage and are cured of all hexes and conditions
4) No clear explanation with notes

I always encourage supportive criticism but i cannot find humor or seriousness in this suggestion. If this was an honest attempt at submitting an idea i recommend you review past submissions and modify it. I.e. "cannot move" is not implemented in Guild Wars, instead, make move 90% slower.
However, this skill is so far from implementation that i suggest you come up with other ideas. If you are uncertain, please message me your skill first so i can help you make it more realistic.

Now, time for some email submissions i've neglected over the last week.

I think you could probably exploit this with Karei's Healing Circle, Heal Area, and Healing Ring. It'd be interesting, though.

Edit: also, would be fun to combine with Illusion of Pain and Drain/Shatter Delusions.

Probably should have been a bit clearer, sorry. Was about to go catch a bus so I rushed a bit. Yes, perhaps 90% movement speed would be better description. The hex/condition cure is only temporary. As soon as the spell ends, the hexes/conditions and their remaining duration comes back into effect. My idea with this skill was to allow players to use it during an extremely chaotic situation so the players would have a few seconds to think about how to deal with it. The monk can figure out who he needs to prioritize healing, the party leader can give instructions regarding sudden tactic change, target call-out, etc.

I probably should have renamed the skill "Eye of the Storm". Imagine the battle as passing through the middle of a hurrican a hurricane. First there is constant chaos going on but when you enter the middle there's brief period of calmness before going out the other side back into the chaos.

I know what your trying to do here, but in all honesty the thought of a battle coming to a brief holt like that would be more annoying (and boring) than fun. Thats without all the complications this skill brings with it.

Chorus of Angels - Paragon - Motivation
Energy: 10
Casting Time: 1 second
Recharge: 15 seconds
Elite Chant: For 20 seconds, the next time each ally within earshot uses a Shout or Chant, that ally and all adjacent allies are healed for 50...140...165 health and lose 1 condition. Affected allies lose this Chant if affected by this skill's healing.

NOTE: Basically, if an ally is healed by Chorus of Angels, then even if they were under its effects, they would lose it. thus preventing automatic continuous party-wide healing. Feedback?

Well then the simple answer is to bring a different skill then. This is simply a "in case of an emergency" skill.

Amnesia - Mesmer - Domination

10 [energy]
2 second [cast time]
12 [recharge]

Elite Hex Spell: For 0...6...7 seconds, if target foe uses a non-adrenaline attack skill or casts a spell, that skill recharges 33% longer and target foe suffers -3 degeneration for the remainder of this hex. If foe uses an adrenaline attack skill, target foe loses all adrenaline and Amnesia ends. *If this spell is interrupted, takes +10...9...8 seconds longer to recharge.*

This skill makes enemies forgetful of their skills and training during combat. It has the capability of turning the tides of battle through its single-target disabling of the back-line. It also has versatility as even the front line can suffer from its effects.

Whadda ya think? xD

Sloth looks pretty OP'd. I think it'd be more awesome and balanced if it were to have this functionality:

energy: 10
cast: 2
recharge: 20

(Elite Hex Spell.) For 0...9...10 seconds, target foe loses 1 adrenaline and 3 energy for every second foe does does not attack or cast a spell.
*This functionality would be counter able by attacking or casting spells, but this can also punish them with Backfire or Empathy stacked upon on them [especially if they aren't removed quickly!].*

First ever Healing hex! Check it out:

Dwayna's Disfavor- Monk - Healing Prayers
energy: 5
cast time: 1/4
recharge: 15
(Elite Hex Spell.) For 0...3...4 seconds, each time foe attacks or casts a spell, it heals targeted ally for 5...24...33. All Hexes and conditions inflicted by foe expire 0...33...36% faster.
*This heals nearly as much as Healing Hands, but with a twist. Since it only lasts half the time as HH, Disfavor's recharge is scaled a bit better to accommodate this. The hex/condition utility is versatile and strong enough to help cope with strong hexes like Diversion and Shame as well as Blind, Weakness, Cripple and Daze.*

Description: A type of visual aide that the player sees, the actual effect depends on the profession. A character only gains this vision if it is their primary profession(debatable?). Further details of this mechanic regarding implementation have yet to be explored or created. Examples below:

Examples:

Elementalist: Can see all Elementalist and other AoE spells (including Ward, Well, and other AoE Spells) as a transparent yellowish tint. Ex: Savannah Heat would appear as normal but the actual Area of Effect would be clearly visible. Allowing them to easily navigate the battlefield without getting caught in a spell.

Necromancer: Can see all exploitable corpses as a greenish tint around the body. Also, all allied undead creatures have a light blueish tint surrounding the body.

Warrior: To be assigned (I don't play Warrior often so i don't know what would be helpful to Warrior)

Monk: Not sure of what would help Monks in the battlefield. Undead could have their own tint? To be further explored.

Assassin: Can see a light purplish tint around foes that have hexes or conditions. (Not too practical but at least its something for now)

Mesmer: Can see casting bars (or maybe numbers) above foes' heads if they are casting spells that take 1 second or longer to cast. The idea is for Mesmers to quickly switch to a target that is taking a long time to cast a spell.

Ritualist: Can see a quick transparent text display of any allied spirit that dies. The idea is to allow Spirit Masters the immediate knowledge of which spirits have just died in order to formulate a counter strategy.

Dervish: To be assigned.

Paragon: Displays a number above the characters head that represents the number of allies within earshot for a shout to affect. The idea is to give feedback to the player on how much energy (or adrenaline) that the player can expect to receive after using a shout/chant.

Any feedback is welcome and if you have suggestions for improvement or implementation, please do so!

I like the idea of this new game mechanic and would actually make things alot easier on the battlefield, but it would take ages to add that to the game im thinking.

Btw monks could see a number (of enchantments) above foes perhaps? something like.

More skills......

Fear - Ritualist - Communing
Energy: 5
Casting Time: 1 second
Recharge: 20 seconds

Energy: 5
Casting Time: 2 seconds

Elite Enchantment Spell: Every second for 5 seconds, you lose 1...4...5 energy and target other ally gains 1...4...5 energy. This enchantment ends early if your energy drops below 50% or target ally's energy is above 90%. This spell causes Exhaustion.

Piercing Strike - Assassin - Dagger Mastery

Attack Speed: Normal
Recharge: 15 seconds
Elite Dual Attack: Must follow an Off-Hand Attack.

More to come.....

Suggested by I Need More Spiritz:

Neutrality - Ranger - Wilderness Survival
Energy: 10
Casting Time: 3 seconds
Recharge: 45 seconds
Elite Nature Ritual: Create a level 1...8...10 Spirit. All non-spirit creatures within range of this spirit cannot move faster or slower than normal. This spirit dies after 8...17...19 seconds.
(The idea is similar to Muddy Terrain but it also prevents the slowdown effect from Snares such as Cripple and Water hexes)

Equality - Ritualist - Restoration Magic
Energy: 15
Casting Time: 1 second
Recharge: 45 seconds
Elite Binding Ritual: Create a level 1...12...13 Spirit of Equality. Whenever a foe within range of this spirit loses a condition, all allies within earshot of this spirit lose a condition and gain 5...22...26 health. This spirit loses 30 health every time an ally loses a condition in this way. This spirit dies after 10...27...30 seconds.

NOTES: Allies are not healed unless they lose a condition.

Thank you for submitting!
