Create-a-spell thread

Not sure on the stone shield, how would you stop it once you've cast it, do you wait for your energy to run out? Would have to be good at communicating with who you cast it on to let them know when you are taking it off so they can prepare, I would have thought?

Mesmer:

Me, Myself and I
Illusion
25energy, 2 sec cast, 60 sec recharge

When cast, 1-4 versions of the caster are created each capable of attacking but not casting. Their attack will be based upon the caster minus 33% i.e. a caster normally dealing 11-22 would create illusions that can deal 7-15 damage each.

The number of versions are based on skill points added to illusion.

Necro:

Raise the Dead
death
Similar to mass minions but a new minion

35 energy, 10 sec cast, 60 recharge
All corpse bodies are resurected as skeletons and take on the attributes of their original use i.e a warrior is resurected as a warrior and a mesmer is resurected as a mesmer etc... A boss character will only get brought back as it's base level and not with the boss skillset.

For each resurected skeleton, you lose 5% of your max HP if they are killed in action.

Ashes to ashes
Death
10 energy, 2 sec cast, 20 sec recharge

Uses the ashes of fallen undead foes. Raises 2-6 beetles that seek out the nearest foe. When they find a foe they will explode when in range. Explosion causes 5-7 poison damage over # seconds. (2-6, 5-7 and # will depend on death skill level)

Nemesis

Not thought too much about what exactly to put in this but thought it may be usefull for a skill that targets monks specifically or creatures that use items like unholy wrath etc.. A necro has armour that penalises against holy damage, so I thought that having a spell like nemesis would help to balance it out a little more. The idea was that it would take a % of damage off and add that to the damage you give back. i.e a monk that normally hits you for 40 damage would now have lets say 20% of that blocked, therefore you only take 32 damage, but you normally hit the monk with 40 damage too, but you now hit with 48 damage??

Other than that I'm stuck for ideas

Heh... Pretty cool idea, but I am sure it would be a nightmare for programmers to make. Just imagine a ton of mini-henchies running around . Now it is my turn for a skill.

Necro-
Spirit Well {E}
Attribute: Soul Reaping (You read right. Soul reaping)
15e/2s/25s
For 30-45 sec, (sorry, I don't really know what normal well times are) all allies in the area gain 5 energy when ever an enemy dies, +1 health regen, and 2 hits of adrenaline.

I REALLY want to start seeing some soul reaping skills. Necros kinda got jipped. I mean, monks have devine favor skills... ~]|LT|[~

[Dave83]

Sometimes I just want to shut warriors up .

Necromancer skills (curses)

'Corrupt tongue' 10 energy, 30 sec recharge time

Sacrifice 17% maximum health. For 4 to 20 seconds if target foe uses a shout that foe takes 15 to 90 damage.

'Corrupt tongues' 15 energy, 30 sec recharge time

Sacrifice 33% maximum health. For 4 to 20 seconds if target foe uses a shout that foe and adjacent foes take 16 to 95 damage and become poisoned for up to (5 to) 10 seconds.

Mesmer skills (domination)

'subdue cry' 10 energy

For 8 to 21 seconds target foe's cannot use shout's. 30 second recharge time

'Subdue cries' 10 energy

For 8 to 21 seconds target foe and adjacent foes cannot use shout's. 30 second recharge time

[Albas]

They are all good, but I think Corrupt tongues may be a bit too overpowered. The mesmer skills look similar to the skill "Ignorance", and I think as long as the recharge time isn't too long then it should be fine. Preventing so many people from using shouts outright may be too overpowered, though.

Now let me take a shot at this.

"Take Aim!"
Shout
Attribute Tactics
10 Energy
30 Second Recharge

For 5..12..15 seconds, allied preparations take half as long to activate and arrows travel 50% more quickly. All other shouts are disabled for 3 seconds.

"Fire!"
Shout
Attribute Tactics
5 Energy
30 second recharge

For 5-7-10 seconds, all arrows fired by allies deal +1..6..8 extra fire damage. All other shouts are disabled for 3 seconds.

Impotence {E}
Domination Magic hex
10 Energy
45 second recharge

For 4..8..10 seconds, all attribute points on target foe are set to 0.

Recklessness
Illusion magic hex
10 energy
25 second recharge time

For 10..15..20 seconds, every time target foe attacks, all nearby enemies take 5..11..16 chaos damage.

"Bow Down! {E}
Domination magic shout (weird, I know)
10 energy
30 second recharge time.

If target touched foe has more than 4 hexes on them and is not attacking, they are knocked down for 1..3..5 seconds and you steal 4..6..8 energy. (Your character makes the shout as soon as the touch is successful)

[suiraCLAW]

Monk skill
