Is it just me that sees this skill as a joke? Its like they're playing on the year-old echo-mending joke.
[Edit: Sorry if this was meant to go in the Arcan Repositary or Off-Topic section.]

I was dissapointed there was no skill called "Butt-Kicking For Goodness!", though.
Also, there definitely NEED to exist an exhaustion-causing skill called "Tiax' Reduction".

I've been trying to remember where that annoying "He's on fire!!!" shout came from ever since the event began.

| No clue where the second one is from, but we've already had Gnomes who say Ni during a pre-release event for Guild Wars Prophecies. |
...Yeah, it's not actually that funny.

"She Bangs!"
10 Energy; 0 second cast time; 20 second Recharge time
All nearby foes within earshot are knocked down, and all of your skills are disabled for 5 seconds
And, of course, we have to have another skill (or two) that is also another Monty Python-reference
"May we burn her?"
10 Energy; 3/4 second cast time; 20 second Recharge time
Touch target foe. If target foe has more energy than you, target foe is set on fire for 2...5 seconds
"I got better..."
15 Energy; 2 second cast time; 15 second Recharge time
Remove a condition from target ally. If a condition is removed, target ally is healed for 1...3 health for each second that condition lasted.
