What skills would you like to see in the expansion coming this holiday season?

What skills would it take to get more players using the paragon?

you can be specific or vague...doesnt matter.. lets just hear some ideas.

A party-wide IAS would be killer.

clawofcrimson · Apr 02, 2007, 08:25 PM // 20:25

I for one would like to see more "leader helping the other classes do what they do better" skills like:

-"ele shout!" decrease the casting/recharge times of elemental skills

-"msmer shout!" when allies cast a hex on a foe... that foe takes adittional damage and the hex lasts xx % longer

-"ranger shout!" the next ranged attack used by effected allies moves twice as fast and interupts targets action"

-"monk shout!" when effected allies are healed they are also cleansed of 2 conditions

-"necro!" when a foe dies near an undead minion that minion is healed for xx

~~~these may be overpowered but hopefully you catch my drift.

also it would be nice to have an aoe spear elite like:

explosive tipped spear~ if this attack hits target foe and adjacent foes take XX fire damage and are set on fire for X seconds.

or something like that

I would like to see the same old good party wide chants. Except pve only so it wouldn't have a chance to be "unbalanced" in holding groups and what not and can be useful to pve chars.

Inspired by the movie 300:

I want to see some spear attacks that happen at melee ranger. The warriors in 300 used a thrusting technique to kill their opponents with a spear and I think that it would be very kool if you could do the same in Guild Wars.

how about "I said him, dumbass!" - changes every player's target to the next one you call

Haa haa, that one's class.

"I said DON'T aggro them!" - For 2...10 seconds target allied Warrior/Monk can not move and aggro enemy groups.

"Disrupting Pointy Sticks" - Spearhead Preparation: for 5...20 seconds your spears interrupt on impact.

"Get Busy!" - Shout: For 5...15 seconds target ally casts spells 50% faster

"Pull Yourself Together!" - Echo: for 20 seconds hexes expire 10...40% faster on target ally. This echo is reapplied every time a shout or chant ends on target ally.

I would like to see some preparations for spearheads...that could work nicely.

Spura · Apr 03, 2007, 11:55 AM // 11:55

Get Busy is what Help Me should have been. A targetable shout that would make someone cast faster, not self targeted shout that would make others cast faster on you.

That anti-hex echo is way overpowered.

I'd like to see aoe spear attacks, I'd like to see you know useful things.

I have 0 trust in anet in making any of that happen after then nerfed so many paragon skills that 90% of command, motivation and leadership are total crap.

King's Spectre · Apr 03, 2007, 03:17 PM // 15:17

On a more serious note:

You never fight alone: Elite Aura (leadership) For 5-30 seconds, 1-6 eternal sunspears fight at your side. While they cannot damage or interact with the living, they count as party members while receiving chants and shouts.

(could be a standard aura graphic, but having ghostly sunspears follow you around would be cool) The only purpose of this skill is to give a lone paragon some energy management and make some the per-alley skills useful.

Causes one random ally to break formation and run around aggroing.

"LAG!"
Target foe cannot move or use skills for 5 seconds, after which he can do 5 things in really quick succession.

Give Them Nothing!
Shout - 10 Energy - Instant Cast - 20 Second Cooldown
For the next 10 seconds, each ally within earshot has a 25...75% chance to resist being knocked down.

Elite Shout - 25 Energy - 2 Second Cast - 20 Second Cooldown
For 10 seconds, the next time an ally within earshot uses an attack skill, that attack deals an additional 20...60 damage and causes bleeding for 2...5 seconds.

I was laughing at the name

a shout called 'boo' that causes damage.

and I dont think the 'deep wound' needs to change... paragons can cause deep wound in so many ways it's rediculous.

lets try to tone down the shouts abit... they are a bit overpowered.

Too powerful in spikes. Imagine the usual 2 warrior, a ranger and a paragon. That would be 240 damage added from this skill alone.

Again too good in spikes.

meat shield · Apr 04, 2007, 12:42 PM // 12:42

its elite so... i dont really think it is overpowered..., incoming isnt exactly overpowered againt spikes, is it?

maybe we should add drunken blow spear variant, yea
and non conditional interupt :/

distracting trow
10e 1/2c 10r
you blablablah interupt targets foes action, if that action was a spell it is disabled for 20 seconds

burning spear [e]
5a 1/2c 0r
trow a spear at target foe that stikes for +7...20 dmg and sets target foe on fire for 1..5 seconds (stimulair to burning arrow)

"fear spearchuckers!"[lol-elite]
shout
for 1...99 seconds, all paragons in the area atack 33% faster and deal +3...7 dmg in combat, if a foe dies forum a chucking spear, all foes in the area take 50..500 dmg based on spearchuckas in the area

ok that was funny...
