Hmm this just gave me a thought: Is DoA, and the other areas like SF/RoT, considered explorable areas? If everyone already knows this, well have a nice laugh at me

This is going to be like the updates we used to have back in prophecies. HUGE SKILL UPDATE! This is going to be one really sweet update. Time to put PVP on hold for a little bit.

New skins for weapons in hard mode anyone?

Wow unlocking skills with tomes is great. Now I won't have to go to Gate of Torment with every character to learn Mystic regeneration!!! Although making skills unlocked by Priest of Balthazar accesible with tome will be even easier.

I hope not. Hopefully it includes all "non-elite" zones.

I hope Vanquisher doesn't include hidden mobs. I really can't be bothered to walk around every single square foot to find that 1 hidden Aloe Seed or something stupid...

I can't wait, that vanquisher title sounds great, and if the hard mode is really hard there'll finally be plenty of use for those stacks of wintergreen candy canes too

why shouldn't they? No balance to kill so gimme skills which are a blast.

Searing Flames but with twice the power would be really loved by us eles.

A lvl 30 minion (10-15 energy) which gives bleeding with each attack for necros.

A doppleganger-conjure spell which makes a copy of you and imitates your every skill usage for mesmers.

A "million blades" for warriors. (hits for 5 times)

An uninterruptable trap skill which is a combo of all other non elite traps for Rangers.

A heal party + blessed light combined for monks.

A mix of shadow prison and shadow form (without the loss at the end) for 'sins.

A new uber spirit for ritualists that protects and attacks at the same time.

A new "avatar of gods" for dervishes. a mix of all avatars into one. (pure carnage this one)

A new shout for paragons... "Un-nerf me!": every ally within earshot gets his attributes boosted by 5 for x seconds.

Man i'm dreaming....

if the mobs will be DoA style... then my skills might not be even enough, let alone too much.

EDIT: I can't picture the elite tomes to go for thousands of gold as getting a sig and cap it yourself would be waaay cheaper, even if you're still back that amt of cash is silly.

One can only assume Anet has read the thousands of posts echoing this exact sentiment--they would be foolish to ignore it.

"Double-click on the Elite Tome while in a town or outpost to learn any elite profession skill already unlocked on your account."

say we already unlocked elite from priest, and we learn it from tome, we might need to pay 1k for the skill but do we still get the 5000xp like from signet of captures?

vanquisher title is great, i hope there'll be better drops by farming with players instead of solo.
