"OMG LOOK IT'S KIM IL-SUNG!"
Shout.
energy: -130 e
activation time: instant
recharge: same as rez signet

This spell hits all enemies in the current zone. Deal 256256 damage and set all enemies on fire for 256256 seconds. This fire is green and also causes disease, poison, bleeding, deep wound, cracked armor, molten armor, and retarded babies.

This spell also kills yourself, but you'll respawn at the nearest Rez shrine, so no worries, it's impossible to lose.

this is only wasting of time, because in this way, anet will never implement skills of us.

I at least had until now ever the feeling, that Anet don't cares about our invented skills in forums ...
I've seen yet in concept class threads or in simple skill invent threads like this on different forums so few ones, that were really good thought out and would be from the start on balanced, so that anet would just need to implement those skills and to create for them a fitting skill sign ... but nothing has come until now ...

every campaign and on this add on i searched on the skills if any skills is under them, that i know, that is was originally created by a forum member of any the elite forums ..but again nothing, even nothing similar that got changed a bit by anet for balancing ...

I'd really love it, when anet would finally make instead of a "create a weapon" contest would make more and other contests of this sort, contests like:

"Create Skill (Name)Contest"
"Create a Ranger Pet Contest"
"Create an Armor Contest"
"Create a Map Location Concept Art Contest"
"Create a Monster Concept Art Constest"
"Create a Minigame Concept Contest"

such would be contest I'd wish as player to make to have as player a chance to let influence my creativity in these points of the games gameplay too and not only for creating any new weapons, where in the only my taste decides, if I find the new stuff cool and interesting, or totally ugly and not worth the effort to gain them, because the stuff got then put into any new elite area where those things will then drop only oO at rare chance ...

Why I say, that this here is only a waste of time, because, even when Anet would care for the skill ideas here, do you really think, anything of the stuff here would be implemented 1:1 ?
No, anet would change skill strenghts to balance them, or erase certain effects so that the skills get balanced, changes stuff on e costs, ct's and rt's ...

and then ? in the end they can even say through all those changes, that they have invented it and the original inventor gets even no credit -.-.

What will be your credits, when U#ve won such a skill contest ?
on weapon contest the winners will receive their invented weapons ingame for free, but what will skills ? simple account based direct unlock ? hmm, would be imo the only thing that would make sense ...
