The Single Skill Critique Thread

(Mods: Please feel free to move this if it's in the wrong section. It seemed appropriate to me)

This is inspired by something I've loved in the past from another forum I visit (MTG Salvation), and the basic concept is this (modified for guildwars):

Make a skill, something never before seen, out of your own imagination. Post with Energy, Cost, Recharge, Skill Type, Profession, Linked attribute, Progression ranges (if applicable) Elite/Non-elite status. Please limit yourself to one or two skills per post.

Here's the fun part: When you make your post, give the poster before you some feedback! Everyone wants to know what everyone else thinks of their ideas. Constructive criticism only! We don't want this to degenerate into "oh lolz ur skill sux"

I'll kick things off with something I thought up last night:

Demons Breath Blade
Sword Attack - Unlinked (Elite)
5/attack speed/45
Causes Bleeding 13 seconds, Blind 7 seconds, Burning 3 seconds, Cracked Armor 10 seconds, Crippled 5 seconds, Dazed 3 seconds, Deep Wound 10 seconds, Disease 7 seconds, Poison 10 seconds, Weakness 10 seconds.

I figured since swords are the masters of applying conditions (for warriors at least) then why not be able to inflict all of them? I hope the numbers are fair, and tried to make the recharge high enough to where it would be a fun elite but not too splashy.

Condition Immunity

Monk - Protection (non elite)
10 energy to cast, 0,5 sec cast time, 10 sec recharge.
Remove all conditions on target ally. For 1-7 seconds that ally can not be the target of ANY conditions.


Edit: Cool skill jiggles ^^

thats ridiculosly overpowerd seriously, talk about mass degen. my turn

Go To The Mists! (necromancer elite)
0energy, instant cast time, recharge (heres where things get fun) can only be used once per month, is an account based skill, and can only be used by a necro primary
Everything in the current map dies.

figured then it cant be abused with a one month recharge, (im being serious) and the necro primary only just enforces that necros rule.

/yawn

Not strong enough.

Kneel before the King! [Elementalist Elite Skill]

15e, 2c, 30r
Everything in the area dies and drops are sent to your storage, if there isn't enough room you instantly get an extra tab.

Minor addition: Realistic skills please.

Tommy Gun: 25e/ 2 sec casting time/ 60 sec recharge.Preparation For 12...24 sec while welding a bow you attack 100% faster, your attack skill recharge instanly and cost no energy

Would not own as much as your other stuff but it would be awsome to use.


Edit: Realistic? ok, mine is an elite.

mine wasnt?

We already have that.

Errr....

Super Wammo Power Attack
1E 2R

Target foe suffers from every condition in the game for 20 seconds. If you are empowered by Mending you deal +1337 damage and gain 15 zealous points. If used 5 times you become an overzealous wammo of holiness tha causes your enemies to flee in fear as you shout "NOOB RUNNER!!!111!!!!1!one!!".

@Miska - I saw you today in Doomlore! And yeah, that skill + D-Shot = HAHA WHAT'RE YOU CASTING NOW!?

Hmm, realism? Well it's a joke obviously so what can I say?

---
I've made 4 realistic fake skills on PvX. And here they are!

Golden Mantis Stab. (ELITE) 10 en. 5 rc. Elite Lead Attack. If you are under effect of an enchantment, this attack hits for +15..35...41 damage and cripples target foe for 1...9...14 seconds. (Attb Dagger Mastery)

EDIT: I realized that I was only supposed to post one skill, but here are the rest anyway. Pay no attention to them though.

Zero Punctuation. 5 en. 1 ac. 10 rc. Hex Spell. For 6 seconds the next spell cast by target foe and all adjacent foes cast 50%...40%...34% faster but is easily interrupted. (attb. Fast Casting)

From a View to a Kill. Preparation. 15 en, 2 ac. 15 rc. For 6...14...17 seconds your attack skills ignore the effect of blindness. This skill ends if you fail to hit. (attb. Wilderness Survival)

"we like that!" Shout. 15 en. 35 rc. For 10 seconds the next time each other ally within earshot uses a skill that skill recharges 10%...35%...45% faster. (attb. Motivation)
