Hi all! Many time has passed since i last saw a thread where ppl could post they're self-made skills, but i think i remember a thread like this.

When I'm bored in school, I tend to think in things that i would like to be doing in that moment lol. Guess what i normaly think of? Yeh Guild Wars. And so I start making new skills, cause i love doing it.

And i decided to post them here, just in case Anet is needing some inspiration for GW:EN!

I'll start with the core professions today (actually Elites only), but I'll add the skills for the others later.

Oh and please feel free to post your ideas!! (Comments are also welcome)

ok i will comment on yours before posting mine

precision blow- heh i never thought i would say this about a Concept skill, but its a bit underpowered.

closed combat- um i cant really comment....

leg bash- a bit expensive but fine overall

penetrating thrust- why is this elite?

"watch the sky!"- once again why is this elite?

cyclone- AIR IS NOT AOE

fissure- ok this one does not make sense, why would a fissure weaken them, i would rather see a cripple, amd its still pretty lame for an elite.

lava pits- ok wtf, first of they should be switched moving foes take fire damage and stnading foes are burning, second FIRE IS NOT SNARE.

chilling breeze- first off gw does not have a dont move function, closest we got is 90% slower, second why would burning cause ice damage do to a breeze?

glyph of elements- ok this is kinda cool but would make eles pretty broken, i know you are basing this off of signet of illusions, but mesmers got sig of illusion cause they have stealing spells but no way to use them, this has no balanced use for eles except to use every powerful nuke from all atts.

nature attunement- ok this is useless...... make it non elite at least.

calculate- ok worst name every, but an ok skill, if it wasnt elite seriously whats with all the elites....

nightmare arrows- ok this one is way to complicated, just make it non-elite and "whenever your arrows fail to hit they steal 5...15 health from the nearest foe"

season survival- ward against harm stance...... hum no comment

disarm traps- wtf, here "*expertise*for 10...20 seconds whenever you would trigger an enemy trap instead it is disabled and you gain 5...20 energy"

monks preservation- cant kill the monk skill..... um no thanks

pressure healing- wtf....... how about [skill]dwayna's kiss[/skill]

holy protection- more like holy shit, sin prot ftw.

final judgment- ok once again gw does not have this mechanic, it would be more like "target for is struck for 20...60 holy damage, if this foes is above 50% health they are struck for an additional 20... 60 holy damage. if they are below 50% health they are knocked down."

heavenly inscriptions- ok this one is good, but should be non elite.

mask of fear- heh anti sin, i like it.

mantra of swiftness- useless, considering with high fast caster most shit takes less than 1/4 of a second, i would like "5...20 spells that cast in less than a second have no casting time" but that would be abused

illusionary friendship- remove the damage and its cool

images of Beauty- ok pve only please..... and non-elite.

lyssas blessing- [skill]mantra of recall[/skill]

shared sacrifice- remove the health steal

insidious corruption- um non elite please

feast of the vulture- [skill]consume corpse[/skill][skill]suffering[/skill]

exploit body and soul- um....... idk on this one

ok now that that is done its my skills

Animate bone swarm
elite spell
15e, 2 second cast, 5 second recharge

Exploit nearest corpse to animate 1..5 level 0...5 Bone pests. these pests die upon attack, when these pests die they inflict 5...40 damage to adjecent foes.

um ill add more later but thats first to come to mind

Dfx Gladiator · Jun 16, 2007, 10:39 PM // 22:39

Ouch! xD

But i notice one thing... When u say air is not AoE, Fire is not Snare, well that's a kind of thinking that keeps games from evolving, why can't we change things a little bit? Oh and air has got AoE... Invoke, chain lightning, tenai's wind, whirlwind, etc...

But anyway thnx for comments on all the skills xD Aprettiated anyway!

tenshi_strife · Jun 17, 2007, 01:03 AM // 01:03

no air not being aoe and fire not being a snare keeps the game DIVERSE lol, if you add aoe to air and snare to fire, then all the atts will be the same........ and thats just boring.

gameshoes3003 · Jun 17, 2007, 04:15 AM // 04:15

Ai-Ya!!! why does everybody focus on elites?
We should all know that just having an elite skill as the whole build is pretty useless. A one skill build... doesn't work.
Anyway, I'll put down my silly ideas I just came up with. If I can remember them... got short term memory here...

Warrior (strength)
Blocking Strike
7 adrenaline
Skill. While wielding a shield, the next melee attack is blocked. If a melee attack is blocked, your melee attack will deal +10...25 damage.

Ranger (Wilderness Survival)
Sand Storm
10 energy, 60 second recharge time, 5 second casting time
Nature Ritual. The area in the spirit's range has desert-like conditions. Every 10 seconds, a sandstorm is randomly spawned dealing 10...18 damage to foes and an additional 10...18 damage to attacking foes. This spirit lasts for 80 seconds.

Whoopee...

1ord i3eans · Jun 17, 2007, 01:58 PM // 13:58

"Respect my Authorita!"
Leadership Elite Shout
For the next 3...5...6 seconds the first attack skill you or nearby party members use causes deep wound for 5...13...17 seconds, the second attack skill you or nearby party members use causes bleeding for 5...13...17 seconds, and the third attack skilll you or nearby party members use causes knockdown for 2 seconds.
Mana cost: 25
Recharge: 15 seconds

MithranArkanere · Jun 17, 2007, 10:34 PM // 22:34

"Get out of my sight!"
Shout. After 5 seconds, if target foe is in front of you and has no conditions or hexes, target foe is knocked down and dazed for 20 seconds. "Get out of my sight" ends prematurely if you move or use a skill. (Unlinked, paragon)

The range would be a quartercircle in front of you with 'withing earshot' range. (Between Half past Ten and Half past One in a clock)
If you move, the effect won't take place.
Moving will include hitting A, D, S~S or X to run around.

This will basically affect lazy bums that plant themselves in a spot and cast things without moving or watching the battle at all.

Sjeng oet Mestreech · Jun 17, 2007, 11:06 PM // 23:06

Michael Jackson
Illusion Magic
Enchantment Spell
10e/2c/20r
For 8...20 seconds whenever you are hit by an underaged male character, you gain 5...40 health and the foe takes 10...50 mental damage. If you are hit by any female or mature male character, you suffer a weakness for 3...10 seconds and are knocked down.

tenshi_strife · Jun 17, 2007, 11:43 PM // 23:43

sjeng.... no just no..... and mithran i love that skill.
