Here is what I think would be a niffty, yet half-pratical idea. Have voice sound-bits when you use Shout or Chant type of skill. So when you use skill like "Fall Back!", you will hear a male/female (depend on the sex of your character) voice yelling that.

It help to know what your team mate is shouting, with out focus too much on the little text bubble above your head.

What do you think?

Edit: Should add a option to turn on or off of hearing the shout voice, best under the option for sound control.

if you are effected by the shout, it should show up as an icon in the top left corner of the screen anyway. While it would be a cool idea, the voice effects would probably get a little annoying after a while. Sort of like all those FPS games where whenever you throw a grenade, the guy yells the same thing in the same tone of voice. So while it is a good idea, it isn't really all that necessary and anet will probably never put the effort into it anyway

I can imagine this being entertaining for about 10 minutes, and then wanting to strangle the warrior who won't shut up about how I should watch myself. I got is already, you can stop screaming at me, I'm watching.

I did like how this sort of thing worked in Diablo 2...weren't really words so much as grunts though..

I keep the volume completely off half the time anyway so meh, sure.

Only if there was an option to turn it off.

I would want it to be grunts like there were in D2.

That was my favorite sound in the whole game.
