Create-a-spell thread

Here are the rules. Rate the spell of the person above you (comments, suggestions, etc.), then create a spell. Tell what class it's from and what it's type is. I'll start.

Monk Spell
Holy Day {E}
Protection Prayers
Energy Cost: 25
Casting Time: 4 seconds
Recharge Time: 60 seconds
For 25-45 seconds, all nearby allies and foes cannot take damage or be the target of any skills.

I hope I worded that correctly

A runners dream. Way Too powerful. Its a super version of spell breaker + mist form combined.


My turn

Ele Spell
"Dust Cloud"
Earth Magic
10e/1s/15s
Target foe and adjacent foes are blinded for 3-10 seconds.

For Death!
Warrior Shout (Strength)
Cost 5 Energy
Re-Charge time 45 seconds.

Target loses 20% Health but gains (4-8) adrenaline.

For Glory!
Warrior Shout (Tactics)
Cost 6 Adrenaline

Target loses all adrenaline and gains (5-10) Energy.

Roar! or Tiger's Roar!
ELITE Ranger Shout (Beast Mastery)
10 Energy.
Re-Charge 40 seconds.

All foes in the area are knocked down and lose all adrenaline. 50% Chance of failure with 6 Beast Mastery or less.

Silence!
Warrior Skill(Tactics)
Cost 5 Energy

All nearby foes cannot use shouts for 5..10 Seconds

Recharge 15 Seconds

I like your's Taffy, it would nerf IWAY & make HoH a friendly place to visit....however with chapter 2 around the corner & the rumours of defendable cities/outposts HoH will probably lose attention, however i still like your skill


Necromancer Skill

Unholy Touch (E)
Att :: Death Magic
Cost :: 15 Energy
Recharge :: 120 seconds

Touch target corpse to summon a level 1/10/20 zombie (for lack of a better word) Zombie is raised with 3/4 max health of touched foe & gains 1/2/4 of touched foes skills, while you maintain this elite hex spell you suffer energy degen of -3/-2/-1 or Unholy Touch ends

i have always wanted a more powerfull undead companion, & i think the summoned creature feeding of your energy instead of its own health is a winning concept.

lemmie know what you think

Monk Spell
Rave{E}
Protection Prayers
Energy Cost: 25
Casting Time: 3 seconds
Recharge Time: 45 seconds

Remove all Hexes from all allies,for 3-5 sec(depand on pro level) allies cannot be a target of hexes.

Well IWAY teams dont use any shouts... but yeah it would be a nerf to vimway trap teams

About your skill, i dont know about the touch aspect or a maintainable hex idea

But maintainable hexes in general sounds interesting...

lmao , i guess i should play more iway then....or NOT....seriously tho my bad didnt read thru b4 i posted lol.

the idea needs work i know, i would just like to see more variety in necromancer summoning skills, perhaps a blood golem, similar setup but feeding on your health instead of energy, either way i'd like to see something with a little more life than the minions, horrors & fiends we have atm

Mesmer
Tabula Rasa(E)
Unlinked Signet
Energy Cost: 0
Casting Time: 2
Recharge: Never

When used, Tabula Rasa is removed from your skill bar, and any non-elite skill from your skill list may be added in its place (subject to normal rules - you cannot duplicate a spell already present). Flexibility at the cost of power. In mission it wouldn't recharge; when travelling, zoning would reset the signet; in PvP it would start as a signet each map, allowing you to atempt to gauge what you are facing before deciding on the skill.

IWAY = I Will Avenge You *Shout* (Strength) for every dead ally you gain +3 - +8 HP regen.

It's what makes IWAY teams IWAY teams, and it's their only shout and single most potent skill.

I like this one alot. It really allows you the chance to adjust on the fly.

Ok here's mine.

Elementalist Spell
Fire Attribute

-MOLTEN SKIN-

15 energy
3/4 cast time
60 recharge

30sec. enchantment spell. You gain +10->+25 armor (+15 vs. fire -20 vs. cold). Movement slowed 30%-15%. When struck Molten Skin delivers 5-25 fire damage to adjacent foes. (I'm thinking something that looks like ignite arrows but activated by something striking the molten skin.)
Looking for a fire armor for some defense but tried to keep it in the fire's offensive wheel house.

I can imagine the assassin having something like this in chapter 2.

I'm loving this skill ideas(Mostly)!

I always thought Water Magic was a bit underpowered:
Elementalist:
Name: Drown [E]
Type: Spell
Attribute: Water
Energy Cost: 25
Recharge Time: 60
Description:
Target and adjacent foes are deluged in a flash flood, have -20 Armor vs. Lightning Damage, and are knocked down for 1-5 seconds. Foes adjacent to target take 15-70 Damage. Target foe's health is reduced by half it's current amount and suffers from energy and health degeneration of 1 for 1-10 seconds.


Elementalist:
Name: Geyser[E]
Type: Spell
Attribute: Water
Energy Cost: 15
Recharge Time: 30
Description:
Target and adjacent foes are blasted by an eruption of water from the ground beneath them. They are knocked down for 1-5 seconds. Foes take 5-40 Fire Damage(Geysers are hot!), 10-45 Water Damage, and 5-10 Regular Damage(They're blasted into the air and fall, would you expect them to be unscathed?)


Elementalist:
Name: Wave of Tranquility
Type: Spell
Attribute: Water
Energy Cost: 10
Recharge Time: 20

A wave of water splashes upon target and adjacent foes. They take 10-80 damage, but are cleansed of blindness, poison, and disease. Allies adjacent to foe are also cleansed of blindness, poison, and disease.

Elementalist:

Recharge Time: 30
Description:
A blizzard surrounds target and adjacent foes. For 10 seconds, they take 5-22 damage a second, suffer from cripple, and have a 50% chance to miss meelee and ranged attacks.

*I know these ones are a bit over powered, but I couldnt resist letting the full force of water takes it toll.

And, because Arenanet did a lousy job giving swords a good elite:

Warrior:
Name: Knight's Stance[E]
Type: Stance
Attribute: Swordmanship
Energy Cost: 5
Recharge Time: 30
Description:
For 5-10 Seconds, you parry 75% of attacks made against you, deal +5-20 damage in combat, and gain +2 Health Regeneration each time you get in meelee.

Warrior:

Type: Sword Attack
Attribute: Swordmanship
Energy Cost: 5
Recharge Time: 15
Description:
You make an attack that deals an additional 10-35 damage, causes bleeding, cripple, and a deep would, and gives you double the regular adrenaline gain.


-Elessar

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=62191

This thread is ancient and long, and although it is half crap and half good ideas, this thread is basically the same thing. No offense though, because I'm not willing to bump that old silly thread, so let's start afresh with more clever and sensible, fresh ideas.

geyser was the best ... would be an awsome animation also... and for an elite its actully pretty balanced

I also really like the unholy touch idea. instead of summoning zombie though the foes corpse should stand back up(with a cloud a deseise around it or sumthing so u can tell its reanimated) and fight for you.

Necromancer [E]
name: Sick'em
type: shout (yes--> a necro shout)
Att. death magic

energy cost.... recharge
15.................10

your minion with the least hp remaining moves 25%faster and explodes when it dies or reaches your target dealing 10-60 dmg to foe and andjacent foes, all foes affected are interupted and poisoned for 9-27 seconds.

I will jack other's idea with this...

Charm Beast [Elite]
Description: Charm target animal. Once charmed, your animal companion will travel with you whenever you have Charm Beast equipped.
Energy Cost: 10.
Casting Time: 10 seconds.
Recharge Time: None.
Linked Attribute: Beast Mastery. No effect.
Skill Type: Skill.

yes, that mean you can have 2 pet at once.... (saw the idea before in another post)

----------------------------------------------------
And anyone want to incorperate those Conditions into their skill?
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=99285

Funny I had that idea too.

Yeowch!!

Drown is like a 3 in one skill. thats pretty insane + overpowered imo.

EDIT: This would be entertaining against groups who ball up tho.

Ok, here are some of mine.

Ritualist Skill

Balthazar's Squire
Attribute: ???
Cost: 25 Energy

How do you like them?

I got an Idea for a monk Elite. Also,a skill for W/E(E/W) profession only.

Divinity's Wrath(Monk Elite)

Smiting Prayers(Minimum 9 Smiting Prayers to be successfully used)

Cost: 25 pts /Casting time:5 sec/Recharge:60 sec

Pillars of holy light rain down(Firestorm like),striking foes for 25-60 dmg(Triple dmg against undead),causing exaustion.

Warrior's Element(W/E-E/W Elite Skill)

Water Req 5/Axe req 8(Needed)

Cost: 15 / Casting Time: instantaneous / Recharge: 60 sec

Water Ward is cast,making enemies move 33-66% slower,while the caster moves and attacks 25% faster for 45 seconds.Ward stays in play as long as the caster keeps adrenaline and stays within the warding circle or for the duration of the spell.Enemies are also more vulnerable to Lightning attacks and lightning based weapons while in the warding circle.Upon leaving the circle's confines,or the duration of the ward has expired,the caster suffers from exaustion.I'm looking forward to comments,whether of praise or of imbalances(though I see only self made holes to give it vulnerability).
