[Description. This skill probably has an algorithm in it, wherein X = the attribute level, normally followed by a base number, and is always inside parenthesis, often with a / division sign in it, and/or accompanied by a multiplier.]

Preface-
Just got into the mood of creating new skill concepts, and so here they are. There're some odd skills in there, like Elementalist Signets, and signets in general, and other just plain weird ones, and if they seem out of place, they probably are. The signets, for one, I tried to spread around, because while we have skills like Ignorance, Rust, Panic, Primal Echoes, and Keystone Signet, there're few signets ever actually used. Rez, Healing, Blessed, Devotion, Humility, Weariness, Leech. That's about it. [The reason there're so many Elementalist signets is because I made them for another topic a while back, and simply recycled them.]
The least interesting ones, in my opinion, are the Ranger and Warrior skills. I pity Anet for having to work on unique attacks for weapons that haven't already been done, because as I discovered, it's rather difficult x_x. In any case, I hope you enjoy it.

Sacrifice 17% of your maximum health. For the next 3+(X/2) seconds, whenever target foe casts a spell, that spell has a 50% chance of failure. If a spell fails this way, Tainted by Blood ends.


This should be a Curses spell. Blood seems to have more health stealing, though the sacrifice part fits in with the Blood line. This just seems more like a Curses spell in how it affects the enemy.

Only looked at your Necro skills though.

[zoozoc]

well the one i noticed off the bat that seemed overpowered was jolt signet. I mean its in any way superior to leech signet. Of course you could either make it a spell-cost 10 energy, maybe lower recharge to 20 or 15 seconds-or you could raise the recharge to 35 or 40 seconds to make it more on par with leech signet, or you could make it interupt only spells. Though im sorta thinking that these kinds of interupts should be kept for the mesmer.

Searing Embrace - AoE, unusable

Magma Pool. Would be much more beneficial if it caused cripple and a deep wound like a real magma pool does.

Mud Shell - Armor or Earth?

Silence - Anti IWAY anyone?

No Soul Reaping skill? Maybe an enchantment. For X seconds you gain X% more energy from deaths.

Searing - half duration Balthazar's Aura, fire-style. Balthazar's Aura is still quite good [and by that extension, Searing Heat should be at least moderately useful], if you can keep your melee-er on the target. In PvE it'd cause the monsters to scatter, but there's really not much you can do about that, unless you want to limit new skills to being amped up single target damage.

Magma - Searing Heat size AoE with the damage scaled higher towards the front end. With a movement debuff like Deep Freeze, you should still get at least a bit of damage out of it =\ Nasty how you can just walk out of the adjacent ranged AoE's in less than 2 seconds.

Mud - Yes, it's redundant as a defensive skill. But Magnetic Aura and Ward Against Melee both exist, and I couldn't think of any elite offensive skill that would fit the Earth theme. The thing about stacking defensive buffs is that +damage (additional/extra) ignores AL [in addition to general armor ignoring damage], and after a certain point, it becomes useless to increase your AL anymore. Damage reductions, on the other hand, work against everything except life stealing. That, and you don't snare yourself to get wailed on by a warrior. However, I will agree that it is not one of my better skills

Silence - It's a bit expensive to use for a very narrow range of skills. On the other hand, there're at least 2 somewhat popular builds using shouts to supplement their skills, IWAY warriors and ViM trappers. Neither of which would be entirely shutdown. You've also got beastmasters to punish it with, and Fear Me spammers, I guess. I just used it to fill the gap, though I'd imagine the reason it doesn't exist at this time is simply because nobody would likely use it anyway o_o.

And nope, for Soul Reaping and Fast Casting, the wells of creativity ran dry. However, I'd give Soul Reaping a little time, until we find out just how much of a role Spirit Spam will play in the future metagame. Under those kind of conditions, Soul Reaping becomes the ultimate energy management period. [And for PvE, the sheer amount of monsters to turn into corpses makes for a lot of energy too.]

Of course, Curses has Spinal Shivers, which provides interrupts, and 2 to 1 isn't exactly a huge margin for precedent.
I went with the Mark of Subversion spell failure similarity for my choice, when all is said and done.
For those wondering why you'd want to consider a spell that costs more, causes life sacrafice, and only a possibility of spell failure... The latter part is it. With Mark of Subversion on you, if you need to cast something soon, you simply cast a 5 cost spell and get it over with. With this, it's a toss-up. You could fail on a non-integral spell, a vital spell to your build, or nothing at all, depending on the timing and luck. Whether forcing a player to take a gamble is worth the extra penalties or not is debatable, and can only really be seen after testing.

Ok, I see where you were coming from with it. You did come up with them, so I'm not bashing you or anything, was just interested in why this was in Blood and not Curses.

Nice work you've got here, must have taken you quite a while.

Well, I believe in the case of "Exorcism", undeads would take x4 damage. Double damage by default, and multiplied by 2 due to the spell effect of "Exorcism".

Exorcism - 10en, 1 cast, 12 recharge
Spell
Target foe takes 8+(3X) holy damage. If that foe is 'undead' or a 'spirit', this spell deals double damage.

So, if I have 15 in smiting, 8+45=53
Hence, an "undead" would take 53x4= 220 damage

For this "Exorcism", I have a suggestion for a necro spell.

Soul Reaping:

Damnation of Souls- 10en, 1 cast, 10 recharge
Hex Spell
For 4X seconds, target foe and all foes in the area takes double damage from holy damage.

[icemonkey]

very good.

names are interetsting and skills are unique. I read most of them a lot of good stuff there expecially the new directions you took with monk and mesmer spells. I like it a lot, but i wouldnt be suprised if some things like this show up in factions. Not to take anything away from you but i think a few of these are obvious, like signet of disruption beinga no att memser interupt only skill. I also liked that you used a lot of signets there needs to be more of those in the game, it would skills like ignorance or keystone signet and others actually useful

one broken skill i saw was signet of energy, recharge is too short, gotta consider it being paired with mantra of signets.

Yes, in part, that's what it's for. Single target smiting is largely unimpressive as it is now. Mostly, you just want to Balth's Aura (except monsters scatter), or JI a melee-er [x100 better than actually using spells like Banish. Hyperbole, but it's still true that JI > any smite spell for single target.]. Alternatively, it's also a skill for the future, with spirit spamming becoming a distinct possibility again. Spirit control may become an important aspect of the metagame in Factions, with people having to choose skills to tackle them.

Signet of Disruption is derived loosely from Cry of Frustration. Instead of costing energy and doing an AoE interrupt, it's a single interrupt for free, with a slightly longer recharge. You run skills like Power Block, Power Spike, Power Leak, and Leech Signet for their secondary effects. Unlike most mesmer interrupts, it gives no additional effect, as well, which is unusual. It's probably a tad too much like a ranger interrupt. It was a last minute addition, I'll admit, to reinflate the skill count after an error on my part, so I wouldn't be surprised if I was too hasty on the numbers.
As a domination linked skill, it could be interesting. Based on the Computer Gaming article, the monk is supposed to have some skill that has a varying recharge depending on how much health the enemy has when struck, in the future. Signet of Disruption could then have a 'recharges faster' aspect to it if you succeed in interrupting something (or maybe fail, instead?), in order to have a higher base recharge. I'll mull it over.

As for Signet of Energy, at its peak, it gives 5 energy every 22 seconds, or 0.68 pips of energy regeneration, about. With Mantra of Inscriptions at 50% reduction, you're looking at 1.25 energy regeneration equivalent. Classical (pre-nerf) Energy Tap gave about .95 additional energy regeneration in equivlence (7-8 energy gain every 21.5-23 seconds, depending on fast casting), and Glyph of Lesser Energy yields about .96 energy. Alone, it's unimpressive, and with MoI, it's mildly better than other non-elite energy management. But, that's another skill slot, and a little more energy consumption out of the deal, if you're going to run it. Basically, my reasoning is, if you're not running MoI, for the straight energy gain, you get a slight penalty, but if you ARE going to run it, then you barely get more, and for the additional skill slot, you probably deserve it.
Running it with Mantra of Signets would be a bit strange, since it costs much more than you'd gain, so I'm pretty sure you meant Inscriptions, but with Keystone Signet, it'd probably run a lot more smoothly for heavy energy gains. Of course, if you're running Keystone Signet, you may have only 1-2 spells anyway in your repertoire, so, they'd better be something you can really eat up your energy with.
Straight energy gains in a non-elite forum are a bit hard to balance, and yes, I'd say I'm not exactly sure whether I'd accomplished it or not.

[calamitykell]

I just want to say the list is incredible. You managed to really make almost every attribute able to really do more, and/or be more effective. I haven't really studied the list to see how any combo of your skills could be 'abused' or 'overpowered', but it's great to see some fresh ideas instead of just "skill A does +50 damage, and skill B does + 70 damage! w00t!" kind of thinking.

I really like your mesmer ideas. Put those in Factions, please? Please?

To me, this skill and the others like it seem like they should be hexes.

Overall, nice job though. You may have too many signets...lol...Trying to buff keystone signet eh?

[actionjack]

Since there are so many skills.. i will just critic on the class I know more of

Warrior

Axe Mastery:

Blunt Strike {E} - 10en, 2 cast, 10 recharge
Elite Axe Attack
If this attack successfuly hits, you deal 5+(2X/3) additional damage. If this attack hits a foe casting a spell, that spell is interrupted, and that foe suffers from Dazed for 3+(2X/3) seconds.

Not a bad one.. balance by energy and 2 second cast... but would still up the reacharge time a bit (20-30 sec)

Graze - 5A
Axe Attack
If this attack hits, your target suffers from Bleeding for 5+(X) seconds.

Not really need it to keep sword skill more distinct

Swift Strike {E} - 3A
Elite Axe Attack
If this attack hits, you strike for 5+(2X/3) more damage. This attack can not be 'blocked' or 'evaded'.

Up the A to like 6 or 7

Hammer Mastery:

Bone Cruncher {E} - 8A
Elite Hammer Attack
If this attack hits, you strike for 3+(3X/3) additional damage, your target is knocked down, and suffers from Crippled for 1+(X) seconds.

Sure, but don't really see the need of it as Elite

Concussion Blow {E} - 9A
Elite Hammer Attack
If this attack hits, your target suffers from Dazed for 1+(X) seconds.

YES

Swift Blow - 5en, 1 cast, 6 recharge
Hammer Attack
If this attack hits, it deals 25% less damage than normal.

????? les.. or More?

Strength:

Signet of Survival - 0en, 2 cast, 12 recharge
Signet
For the next 5 seconds, you gain 1+(X/2) health regeneration. While using Signet of Survival, you can not block or evade attacks.

hmm.. might be a bit overpowering. Up the recharge time and down the hp reg to like X/3 or X/4

Strength in Pain {E} - 5en, 20 recharge
Elite Skill
For the next 1+(X) seconds, for each hex and condition you suffer, you deal +3 damage in melee.

I like.

Furious Speed {E} - 10en, 20 recharge
Elite Stance
For the next 3+(2X/3) seconds, you move 25% faster and attack 33% faster.

Alright.

Swordsmanship:

Impale {E} - 5en, 10 recharge
Elite Sword Attack
If this attack hits, you strike for an additional 5+(X) damage and your target suffers from Bleeding and Deep Wound for 5+(X) seconds.

Seems way too powerful. 10 en and 30 recharge maybe... but still too good

Backslash - 5A
Sword Attack
If this attack hits, you strike for 3+(X/2) extra damage. If you strike a foe's backside, you deal an additional 8+(X) damage.

Not bad

Double-Edged Swing - 6A
Sword Attack
If this attack hits, you strike for an additional 5+(5X/2) damage. You take half of that damage.

Not bad.. can also make it universal for all weapons.

Tactics:

Intimidate - 5en, 15 recharge
Skill
Adjacent foes lose 1+(X/5) adrenaline.

20 recharge

Focused Strike - 5en, 8 recharge
Melee Attack
If this attack hits, you strike for 5+(X) additional damage. This attack can not be 'blocked' or 'evaded', and you can not be interrupted while performing this attack.

why interrupted? Beside that.. seem okie...but not really much special

Victorious Strike - 5en, 8 recharge
Melee Attack
If this attack hits, you strike for 3+(X/2) extra damage. If your target is suffering from a condition, that foe takes 3+(X) additional damage.

Not a bad one.. still.. up the recharge

Booming Voice {E} - 10en, 30 recharge
Elite Stance
For the next 5+(X) seconds, whenever you use a 'shout', nearby foes take 5+(X) damage.

I like the name. Seems fine.

[The Hand Of Death]

Your elementalists earth magic skills sound like ranger wilderness survival skills to me or some other ranger kind of attribute. I think that the earth skills should go more along the element of earth and not along one lives on them. Since plants are part of nature, they would probably fit better into a ranger attribute, maybe beast mastery or wilderness survival. The earth elite fits though and is fine. The other skills are great.

10 energy is quite a lot for a small pulse in every 8 seconds. 71 is the max without 20% chance and then you have to wait a while. Monks, being primary targets and not the greatest energy management with smiting will have major problems with this. Lowering the energy cost to 5 might be a bit better.

I considered it, but it'd be awful to have your elite damaging spell removed so easily. There're 3-4 of those type of skills in the 90+. Pulsing Energy is intended to be an alternative to Lightning Orb, with better direct damage [I hate projectile spells =\], a decent cast, a fairly good recharge, and higher overall damage, balanced by an Elite tag, and being DoT. I'd make it AoE, but I didn't want it to be AoE, as Air is mostly not an AoE line.
It's supposed to be like a tracking DoT spell.
The only precedent I can think of that exists is probably Spectral Agony, a non-hex, that provides the kind of effect I wanted, though it's a monster-only skill.
Yet, I'll admit that having it as a Hex would make it non-stackable, which would reduce potential for abuse. 8 Pulsing Elementalists using Glyph of Elemental Power would be a bit nasty to face.
Spectral Signet is a direct rip-off of Spectral Agony, except with the condition that it becomes useless if you don't actually kill the foe before the timer runs out. Agonizing Touch follows the same route. They managed to make Spectral Agony not stack, even if they weren't hexes, I'd imagine it could be possible to prevent stacking multiple copies of these effects. That would be ideal.

On that note, Melandru actually is the patron goddess of Earth Elementalists. The problem with creating skills for Earth is that it's largely a utility line with a certain set of gimmicks, of which most have been done. The Earth line in general is probably one of my worse efforts.

Originally Posted by actionjack

I agree that there's a possibility of it being abused, but I'm hesitant of raising the recharge too high, lest it become useless. Concussion Shot is a similar skill that it's actually easier to score Dazed with, so I went with its recharge timer. Were I developer tweaking the timer, I'd probably go with 20 if it was too good in practice, and raise/drop it by intervals of 5 seconds depending on how it is after that.

I just despise the Barbed axe haft, without a source of bleeding x_x I do agree though.

Not sure I understand this one. The damage is mediocre, less than what you get from Penetrating Blow, a non-elite spammable. It's meat is the non-block/evasion, to be used in conjunction with Swift Chop, to have a fairly good portion of your attacks being difficult to counter. It's probably a flawed skill in general, I just added it as a filler. Maybe non-eliting and upping the adrenaline would be the best bet.

Originally Posted by actionjack

Except counter-blow, the 2 non-elite hammer knockdowns [barring the one that triggers KD when blocked] cause adrenal loss. This one's just intended as an alternate choice to Devastating Hammer, with a Crippling condition, rather than Weakness, at 1 more adrenal cost.

Originally Posted by actionjack

Another filler. Its use is to increase adrenaline gain by tossing in a periodic faster attack than normal. Probably a waste =\

Sever and Gash combo in a single skill for sword warriors. I'd have made it adrenal, but then it'd be a bit too much like Eviscerate. If they 'rebalance' the Deep Wound effects, I don't think this'd be too problematic. In any case, I'll mull over how to effectively tweak it.

True. I chose sword because of the name, not for any technical reasons.

It'd be more like an anti-'To the Limit' that way, which would be more balanced.

Filler skill. The non-interruption is just to fit the theme.

Originally Posted by actionjack

I'll take that under advisement. Probably 10-12 recharge if I tweak it.

Originally Posted by actionjack

The idea dates back to the Zealot's Fire days. That was an interesting, albeit odd, build, which is the foundation of this skill idea. If you packed your skill bar full to the brim on shouts, including To the Limit, I don't think you can get more than 7 off at a single time, which would be 147 damage at its peak, and then a long recharge, so the spike potentially shouldn't be that scary.

Edit: I'm a slow typist apparently

The AoE is fairly good though, and 10 energy isn't bad either. If you're running it in a Zealot's Fire build, you'll tack on some extra fire damage to it. Throw in Smite Hex and Balthazar's Aura, some elite energy management, and it shouldn't be prohibitive. Of course, the whole reason people don't often use skills like Smite, Banish, and the 2 smiting signets, except in niche/gimmick builds, is that they have too long recharges, and this is only 2 seconds less than the former 2. Alternatively, it's about 3 seconds more than Flame Burst, which is actually a decent skill for its cost, damage, and area, and you actually get to control where it hits.
It has its pros and cons, but I'm not sure that the negatives are compelling enough to revise the values.

Part of the balancing factor, but I do agree that it makes it a lot less useful the way it is now. I went ahead and altered it though.

I'm really wary about that one. It should probably just die a death of deletion. But considering the casting time, I don't think the timer reduction would be that bad. 5 exhaustion removal every 20 seconds, 15 out of 60, or 1.5 more exhausting spells per minute.

I don't know, there're the arenas, and as you mentioned, PvE where one could make use of it. Dark Aura stacks with it, though it doesn't trigger on Touch of Agony and Signet of Agony, 2 staple sacraficial spells. It'd be a somewhat interesting defensive skill to run on a monk, coupled with Zealot's Fire, to scare meleers away, at least.

Just skimmed through for now. A few thoughts.

Mind Signet - 0en, 2 cast, 25 recharge
Signet
You gain 5 Energy. If target foe has less energy than you, you gain an additional 5 Energy.

Change to if foe has more energy than you. If he has less, then the extra energy isnt really needed.

Aura of the Leech {E} - 15en, 2 cast, 30 recharge
Elite Enchantment Spell
For the next 5+(X) seconds, whenever you cast a spell, you steal 5+(X) health from adjacent foes.

Doesnt seem worthy of an elite. Only powerful for farming.

Poisonous Blossom - 10en, 1 cast, 10 recharge
Spell
A Poisonous Blossom grows at target foe's location. For the next 3 seconds, nearby foes take 4+(2X) damage each second. When Poisonous Blossom ends, nearby foes are poisoned for 5+(X/2) seconds.

Just wanted to say I love the idea of plant skills in the earth line. Better than having all rocks and dirt.

Tend Wounds - 5en, 8 recharge
Pet Attack
Your animal companion attempts to tend its wounds, losing one condition.

Overall from what I've seen so far its pretty good for by yourself.
