You get one pve skill for each class and it must fit with their lore/whole image.

Here's mine (I think monks and dervishes are pretty much complete in their concept):

Warrior: "You there!" Shout: For 5 seconds targeted enemy only attacks you. Energy: 5, Recharge: 10

Elementalist: Elemental Ritual- Spell: Summon an elemental from the same element as your weapon's attribute. It's lvl is the same as your attribute in that branch of magic +6. (e.g., lvl 22 with 16 fire magic). Each elemental last for 20 seconds and has 500 health. The earth elemental has stoning and ebon hawk. The fire elemental has phoenix and inferno. The water elemental has ice spikes and glowing ice. The air elemental has shock and lightning touch. Activation: 5, Energy: 15, Recharge 90

Ranger: Entangling Trap- Trap: When Entangling Trap is triggered, 2 nearby foes are trapped in a net for 10 seconds. They are immune to damage but cannot act. Entangling Trap ends after 90 seconds. While activating this Skill, you are easily interrupted. Activation: 3, Energy: 15, Recharge: 60

Necromancer: Soul Sacrifice- Spell: Target ally is killed (can be you), but incurs no death penalty. From their corpse a lvl 25 Avatar of Grenth is summoned. The avatar steals 10 health per attack and has the following skills: Deathly swarm, life siphon and insidious parasite. The Avatar can only remain in this world for 30 seconds.
Activation: 1/4, Energy: 10, Recharge: 60

Mesmer: Mesmerize- Spell: Target foe has a 80% chance to be mind controlled. The mesmer's bar is replaced by that monsters and their view shifts to that monster. The mind control last for 60 seconds but has a chance to break on damage, it will end if the monster dies. . During the spell the caster's body is sucked into the ether and kept safe from harm.
Activation: 3, Energy: 10, Recharge: 90

Assassin: Stealth- Form: When this skill is activate you assume a shadowy form. You become invisible to all enemies but move 50% slower and cannot uncover fogged areas on the map. You lose all your skills but gain three new ones.:
Ambush: From stealth you attack a foe, it has a 40% chance to hit (modified by enemy lvl) and fails on boss monsters. If this attack hits you deal damage equal to 90% of their life. Breaks stealth.
Shock powder: From stealth you assault a foe, knocking them down for 4 seconds. Breaks stealth.
Appear: Removes the stealth form from you and returns your original skills:
Energy: 10, Activation: 1, Recharge: 120

Paragon: Aura of Command- skill: For the next 20 seconds your shouts last 5 seconds longer and are 20% more effective.
Energy: 5, Recharge: 45

Ritualist: Primal Fear- spell: Targeted enemy is haunted by terrible images of the dead and flees in fear for 5 seconds. They do not agro other mobs but travel away from the caster in a random direction at 80% of their normal speed. They are unable to act while this effect is occuring.
Energy: 25, Activation: 3, Recharge: 20



That's my lot, have you got any ideas?
