HI guys

I recently started playing alliance battles a lot and was wondering why you can't use allegiance skills during alliance battles...

This seems odd, also, i think that it is unfair that there are PvE only skills but no PvP only skills.

I'm not suggesting that allegiance skills be made PvP only nor am i suggesting that they should be used in all PvP.

But i do think they should be available for alliance battles...playing alliance battles, is after all, how you increase the effectiveness of these skills.

Please post your thoughts and ideas and feel free to treat this thread as a petition for Arenanet. In other words, type /sign if you agree with me and /not sign if you don't. Thanks

'Cause PvE skills weren't designed with balance in mind.

Plus the Kurzick/Luxon PvE skills are some of the most powerful skills you can use. Just imagine having a Glass Arrows/Brutal Weapon ranger smack you with a Triple Shot and you'll see why they're not allowed.

Wait for the PvP skill only balance. It's going to very interesting to see what they do. That may be more of what you want rather than PvE skills in PvP.

already been suggested before, already /notsigned for obvious reasons.

threadlock to come

*Shrug* They're PvE skills for a reason, and that reason is that they're not balanced for PvP.

/notsigned.

SAVE YOURSELF!!!! Would be a little overpowered in AB if you ask me

It's a nice idea, but can you imagine all the imbagons?

+1, really.

miskav · May 20, 2008, 03:07 PM // 15:07

Mist, I propose a team of 2 touch rangers, a lifesteal/weller and a second bloodspiker/degenner :3
Bye bye Imbagons

No, HFFFing is how you increase the effectiveness.
Also, they are called PVE ONLY. Which part of PVE ONLY don't people understand?

Yeah I want to run triple shot + nightmare weapon bow rits. gg

How's it unfair that there are no PvP-only skills?

And yeah, AB may be more PvE'ish with the shrines and such, but it still has players you're going against.

Targuil · May 20, 2008, 03:35 PM // 15:35

I want my imbagon in AB!

Mitchel · May 20, 2008, 03:50 PM // 15:50

/signed because I neeeed SY + Spear of Fury to win. Oh and Aura of Holy Might too.

oliverrr1989 · May 20, 2008, 04:08 PM // 16:08

Erm...what about when the R12 PvE skilless grinder fights the skilled PvP non-grinder and wins? Unfair much?

Can I has LOLCATS naw plz?

RiKio · May 20, 2008, 04:09 PM // 16:09

Hmm....lets have a paranoia.

-If we implement PvE skills in AB, then ANet must balance this game
-If Anet balances the game, skills like [vocal minority], [Soothing Images] and the enchant removal ones would suffer a buff.
-Therefore, a new metagame would be created, and AB would be as lame and stupid as ever.

So /signed. I want this. Really.

Phoenix Tears · May 20, 2008, 04:14 PM // 16:14

rofl, whenever I see the word "pvp only skills" I can only point at that fool, which suggested it and ask them "How stupid are you?" XD

As you wish ^^

This nonsense is...

fearfactory · May 20, 2008, 04:41 PM // 16:41

if PvE allegiance skills were allowed in AB, all you would see anymore is IMBAGON LFG! or ANTI IMBAGON LFG!

Balth faction would litterly stop happening in AB because no one would die.

it would be 'HAHA Kurzdicks! You can't interupt my SY!" "HAHA Suxons! My SY! owns your noob ass's!"

Sorry, but. no. AB sucks as it is now with idiots in the format constantly. Don't completely kill it with Allegiance skills in it.

This has been suggested before, please use the search next time.

Konig Des Todes · May 20, 2008, 05:41 PM // 17:41

Only use of Allegiance skills in AB I can ever agree with is the NPCs being the only ones to have them. I still hold that kurzick NPCs get Kurzick skills, Luxons get Luxon, Sunspear get Sunspear, Lightbringers get Lightbringer, Norn get Norn*excluding Blessings*, Asuran gets Asuran, Ascalon/Vanguard get Vanguard. *and of course, this DOES include heroes getting the PvE skills of their respective origins*
