Curse

Just curious about players personal opinions, after 3 years, there has been a skill which ive always hovered the cursor over but unfortunatley i could never quite find room for it in my bar, that skill being..

Warriors Cunning - my candidate for most deserving of an update.
Reason - the recharge oh the recharge :-(

So what is the skill you feel is most deserving of an update?

payne · May 12, 2008, 01:56 PM // 13:56

PnH cause its an elite and crap

I agree the recharge time on WC is way to high, maybe it should be like 30 or 45 seconds. Anyway I think I would have to choose Keystone Signet, I mean seriously can anyone show me a good working build that would use that?

Elite Signet. All of your signets except Keystone Signet are recharged. All of your non-signet skills are disabled for 17...7 seconds

omg, yes- I had a guildie run a mesmer that was 7 signets, and 1 skill- Ether Lord. He shut soooo much stuff down, it was nuts- not to mention, funny as hell!

Peace and Harmony.
It's the bastard child of the monk skilllines.

I'm sure it works well in AB/RA but I doubt you'd have any success with it at any higher level.

Enough about that though, my candidate for an update is Xinrae's Weapon. That spell has potential to be so interesting and yet it's sitting at a 25 energy cost with a somewhat bad effect considering the cost. Either lower the cost a bit and shorten the recharge or increase the duration and time disabled.

Hard to name one skill most deserving, so here's a couple for thought...

Chaos Storm (bad in every way)
Persistance of Memory / Symbolic Celerity (redundant, e-cost, ench)
Elemental Flame (only use is for covering hexes)
Shroud of Silence (...)
Resurrect (can't be justified in comparison to other hard resses)
Orison of Healing (obligatory)
Wastrel's Collapse (5 seconds!)

[wastrel's collapse]
["watch yourself"]

nuff said
i want WY back the way it was!

Boogz · May 12, 2008, 02:49 PM // 14:49

[Unyielding Aura] yay for elite res.

Pyro maniac · May 12, 2008, 03:28 PM // 15:28

[[ignorance], pretty nice skill however huge energy cost

change it to a [[signet of humility] for signets imo

jiggles · May 12, 2008, 03:55 PM // 15:55

[ravenous gaze]

i dare you to find a use for that skill

Shinjinbukai · May 12, 2008, 04:15 PM // 16:15

can anyone say, "Incoming!" that skill needs to be fixed in pve again. pvp ruined it

Syron · May 12, 2008, 04:43 PM // 16:43

[skill]life sheath[/skill] needs to trigger _after_ other prot-enchantments

[skill]healing light[/skill] just compare it to WoH or even GoL <.< 5 | 3/4 | 4 and 110 (@14) or something

Koudelka · May 12, 2008, 04:46 PM // 16:46

Assassin:
Shroud of Silence
... no comment needed.

Monk:
Convert Hexes
I must be the only monk in gw that actually uses this from time to time.

Mesmer:
Persistence of Memory
As a mesmer I've really tried to use this, but when you play as a mesmer, interruptions are very rare due to fc.

Ele:
Shard Storm
10 sec recharge...

I'll conjure up a few more.

*EDIT* Oh and pretty much every paragon skill ><.

[gust] -what is the point of knocking someone down once every 20 seconds and only if they have a very specific hex on them (a lot of water hexes only last up to 5 seconds and this spell has a 1 second cast time -it's just too specific of a condition to be called an elite.)

[glimmering mark] -the hex should be applied to an area of foes like mark of rodgort.

I'm really tired of the water line getting the shaft: many of the skills could get reworked but these ones are just crimes.

[mirror of ice] -compare this to reversal of damage and this makes no sense as an elite skill.

[mist form] -again this is kind of crappy for an elite: compare it to [shadow form]

[slippery ground] -WHY KNOCKDOWN SOMEONE WHO IS ALREADY BLIND? this is the most worthless skill in guildwars.

[swirling aura] -because of the recharge its just as bad as mist form and even then it wouldn't go on anyone's skill bar.

[winter's embrace] -compare this to [grasping earth] and it just seems silly.

PvP didn't ruin it. ANet ruined it by creating it.

However, I believe now the PvP/PvE split will suffice. BUFF THIS GUY TO SY STYLE!!!

Racthoh · May 12, 2008, 07:33 PM // 19:33

Incoming needs the Watch Yourself treatment.

Angorodons thank you for listing this as a skill to buff. They like one-shotting clueless travelers through any form of prot or +armor.

Washi · May 12, 2008, 09:09 PM // 21:09

Beastmastery line.

please

I beg you

How could they waste such an awesome concept.
