Create a Skill

Agild Greenfinger: Thanks for the feedback but to be honest the OP's skill
is far more broken than anything I could come up with.

Warrior skills:

Threaten - Shout. All nearby foes have a 20-55% of being interrupted, if interrupted, they suffer from weakness for 5-12 seconds. (tactics) 6 adrenaline recharge 22

Sword Lunge - Sword attack. This attack has half the range of a bow. If it hits, target is interrupted, begins bleeding, and suffers a deep wound for 7-21 seconds. (swordsmanship) <--- a better version of protector strike? 8 adrenaline recharge 7

Graviton Blow - Hammer attack. Lose all adrenaline. If this hits, target suffers from deep wound, crippled, dazed, and weakness for 5-20. If this attack misses, you are knocked down for 3 seconds. (hammer mastery) 8 adrenaline 5 energy recharge 30

Precision - Axe skill. For 4-14 seconds while wielding an axe, you do critical damage. Damage done this way cannot be blocked or evaded. (axe mastery) 5 adrenaline 5 energy recharge 30

Balthazar's Blade - Strength. Lose all adrenaline. For 5-18 seconds all attacks damage adjacent foes near target. 8 adrenaline. 8 energy. recharge 30.


[edit] OHHHHH i just saw someone post the idea of multiclass combo skills........HOW BOUT SOME OF THESE!?

Godhand (Mo/W) - No weapon (bare hands?). Attacks become holy and have 10-30% armor penetration. For each consecutive hit, damage increases by .5% . If missed, blocked, or evaded , Godhand ends. This skill ends if you do anything other than attack. 8 adrenaline 20 energy recharge 25 (good ol ragnarok days)

Hidden Attack (Me/W) - Skill. Target foe is interrupted, and will be hit for 30-90 piercing damage after 4 seconds. 10 energy, 10 recharge

Controlled Burst (E/Me) - Spell. Next offensive spell casted will become "upkeep" 'ed, when this upkeep is dismissed, spell is instantly unleashed on target foe. 20 energy, recharge 45, causes exhaustion. This spell cannot be echoed.

High Angled Shot (R/Me?) - Skill. Target foe and those nearby are hit after 5 seconds. If this skill hits, target is interrupted and is knocked down. 10 energy, 15 recharge.

First Blood (N/Mo) - Spell. If target is above 50% hp, you steal 10-25% of that and all your minions are healed by amount stolen. 10 energy, 20s recast

Illusion of Healing (Mo/Me) - Spell. For 15-45 seconds, target ally has the illusion of being at full hp (to the foe). Ally would still take damage from attacks. 10 energy, 20s recast

^^^^ as you can see, i like to make up skills that would add more dimensions into battles.^^^

But multiclass skills aren't going into the game. It's like suggesting skills for the Astronaut class... guess its just for fun.

Slow Hit - Hammer Attack
7 adrenaline, takes 1 second more than a normal swing(2 seconds?).
If it hits, target foe is knocked down. While using this skill you are easily interrupted.

Because the dance is so funny, all the foes who step in the symbol have 25% to get interrupted when using a skill. The Mesmer has to keep dancing to maintain the symbol. The dance cannot be interrupted by skills, except for Knockdown.


Oh...I gotta see this one! lol

A couple of ranger skills i dreamed up while tossin and turnin one night

Head Shot
Ranger skill
attribute: marksmanship (50% chance of failure with less than 12 in marksmanship)
energy: 25
casting time: 4 seconds
recharge: not applicable, this skill can only be used once during a mission (whether it hits or not)

description: shoots an arrow directly into head of target, instant kill if it hits, if it doesnt all your skills are recharged for 90 seconds, this skill is easily interrupted.

Russian Roullette (spell right?)
Ranger skill
attribute: Expertise 50% chance of failure at 16 expertise (its 75% at 8)
energy: 15
casting time: 1/4 second
recharge: 60 seconds

description: shoots an arrow that does no damage but recharges all target enemies skills for 30 seconds. if it misses your skills are recharged for 30 seconds

many will think these are overpowered but i think i stacked enough conditions on these to make people think twice about there application

edit: both of these skills should be elites and yes the bosses should use them in a careful manner

a ranger skill elite.

one shot one kill: a killing shot{in other words it kills when it hits no matter what}that takes all of the energy you have left and 20% of your health to use

Runner's Stance (Elite):
Tactics
Energy cost:10
Cast Time: 0
Recharge: 20 seconds
All allies are killed. For the next 20-26 seconds you run 50% faster, gain health regen of 5. Cannot be slowed by hex, condition, knockdown, etc. You cannot be blocked by annoying scenery or monsters.

Fast cast
Lyssas Blessing (elite):Enchantment:maintenence: Target other ally gets fast cast bonus equal to your fast cast skill raiting instead.

other ideas

well of monopoly- other wells cant be cast
Curse of the Spider -if target dies with poison, a poison spider is spawned
restore mind: remove all hexes, monk Elite with quick casting time
Charm Golem "Frozen Heart": can be learnt either from stone summit dwarfs (while friendly), captured from certain stone summit elementalist or from a mage at Yaks Bend

Ok, I have some ideas for Chapter 2 new skills.

The ideas are from my thread about Conjure flame, frost and lightning.


These skills may seem to fit well with a New Class whose job is to maintain enchantments and cast enchantments that benefit offensively. Basically, it's the Offense-version of Monk energy uptake skills.

1.) Devil's Embrace
Enchantment. Energy Uptake 1, 10E, 5s recharge.
Skill Description: Cast and maintain this enchantment on an Ally to give the ally a % to cause Bleeding + Weakness on a successful attack (attack can be from Staff/Wand). The % goes up for every level. The duration of the conditions goes up every lvl as well. (mainly designed for any class who attacks)


2.) Titan's Embrace - Elite (I think it should be elite)
Enchantment. Energy Uptake 1, 25E, 10s recharge.
Skill Description: Cast and maintain this enchantment on an Ally to give the ally a % to cause Critical Hit and cause Knockdown on a successful hit. The % goes up every level. (mainly designed for warriors/rangers)


3.) Fairy's Embrace
Enchantment. Energy Uptake 1, 10E, 10s recharge.
Skill Description: Cast and maintain this enchantment on an Ally to give the ally a % to steal +health and +energy on a successful hit. The amount goes up every level and so does the %. (mainly designed for casters who want to go for melee/range attacks)



These are just some rough ideas. Basically, there is only one class in the game that can do energy uptake (Monk). The idea is to create another class that specializes in energy uptake but in an Offensive way. I know there is Strength of Honor but that's just too limited. The ideas can be creative and I think it will be interesting strategy-wise. A lot of % values need to be tested and that's why I didn't offer that. I am just offering rough ideas. The effects of each offensive energy uptake can be creative too.

Can you say arcane echo + death signet

Youd need just a group of mesmers to win a guild battle instantly...

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but I think there should be a way to have groups of skill sets you can change easily instead of having to change them one by one.
Example: When I am running some where I want to have mainly Running, Evading, and Curing skills, but if I am going to Fight I want to have my usual Fighting skills.

I would like a way to switch between my entire skill sets, by clicking or a cusom name, like Runner set, or Fighter set.

OR with Elementals, if they are going to change what type of magic they will cast they could have Earth Set, Fire Set, Water set, and Wind set.

also presets for when you change your secondary class. So you can change your class quickly and not have to go through putting all your skills back.

Just thowing it out there, but that is just in idea i had.

Pickpocket skill - allows you to pickpocket a member of your party or npc to steal the last piece of loot they picked up - remains undetected until end of mission 10% chance costs 25 energy takes 50mins to recharge (Elite skill)

Counter Pickpocket skill - allows team leader to kick the person who uses pickpocket off the team - if it is noticed by you having the player highlighted that he has used the pickpocket skill you can petition the group leader to have that member kicked off the team or the group leader can do it automatically - the member who is kicked off is then replaced with a hench like the character you fight to ascend (ie same skills available except pickpocket skill is replaced with another skill) Cost to use 5 energy time to recharge 1 minute The skill can be used to kick off any member of the team but can only be activated by the group leader - so if someone is afking their way through missions you can kick them. Or if someone is being abusive to another player on the team you can kick them.

"Its only fare" (necro or assassin skill)
---------
Sacrifice the life of yourself to instantly kill a oponent
----------

"Signe of recharge" (ele or ritualist skill)
---------
Atamatically recharge a skill of your choice

Pipelining - Mesmer (General)
Energy Cost: 5 Casting Time: 1 Recharge Time: 30

Elite Enchantment Spell. For 10 seconds, activate Pipelined spell-casting mode. While this mode is on, you may initiate casting a new spell while 1 or more other spells are already undergoing casting. The new spell's casting time will overlap with the others', but the spell will take effect only after all previous spells have completed their cast. While casting any spell in Pipelined mode, you experience exhaustion proportional to the number of spells that are already undergoing casting, in addition to any exhaustion the current spell itself might cause.

The basic idea is to enable a caster to overlap casting of multiple spells for a devastating spike but at a huge price. The exhaustion is designed to more or less completely shut down the caster if pipelining is abused. For example, let's say the caster (an E/Me in this case) activates Pipelining, then quickly spams Chain Lightning, Lightning Orb, (a-echoed) Lightning Orb. The total exhaustion would be 10 (CL) + 10 (LO, since CL is being cast) + 20 (a-echoed LO, since CL and LO are being cast) = 40. This in itself is a significant penalty, but say if the caster attempts to overlap Gale as a 4th spell in this combo, the total exhaustion would reach 80. GG.

The scale of increasing exhaustion I have used (10x Overlapped Spells) could turn out to be too high or too low, hopefully play-testing will be able to bring out the ideal balance. Currently I've placed the skill under Mesmer General, but it could be moved to Illusion (it feels like it should be an Illusion), with the exhaustion reducing with increasing points in Illusion Magic. If Anet wishes to stick with the philosophy of only Elementalists having Exhaustion-causing spells, then Pipelining could fit into the Elementalist General category too.

I just thought of a neat one.

Terrirorial Bond
Ritualist - Communing
Binding Ritual
Energy 10
Cast time 3 sec.
Reuse 60

Create a level 1...7 Spirit that last for 30 seconds. Any enemy within its range must remain within its range or suffer 10...82 damage.

I'm thinking of making the range variable too, growing smaller as you increase your rank in Commuing.

Problem - There's that skill that teleports spirits to your location. You can spam that skill and vwalla, 82 damage without effort.

Spirit Bomb(elite)
Attribute Channeling
energy 20 recharge 15 chargeup 6
Drop a spirit bomb on target. All Foes in the area take 150 damage and are knocked down.

Mmm... good point. That might actually work better as a necro well then. Or better yet, an elementalist ward! Give the enemies good reason to bunch up.

Energizing Transfer-Necromancer- ENERGY-15 / CASTING TIME-2 SECONDS / RECHARGE-60 SECONDS.

Split your energy in half, target ally gains double the amount. This spell causes exhaustion.

just some skills that would be alright now( before the minion master nerf they would be way too powerful) by themselves but awesome when combined. please say what you think of them.

Minion combustion-death magic enchantment
15 energy | 2 second cast | 60 sec recharge
for 15-40 seconds all your minions receive -100 health degeneration. When a minion dies it deals 10-40 dmg to all adjacent enemies and you gain 5-15 health. Minion deaths caused by 'minion combustion' are not affected by soulreaping.

Minion renewal[E]-death magic enchantment
25 energy | 2 second cast | 70 second recharge

Sacrifice 15% maximum health, for 20-50 seconds each time one of your minions dies an identical copy with full health spawns at its location and you lose 3% of your maximum health.This enchantment cannot be striped.

Obviously the point of these two skills would be to continously bomb your opponents and the reason for the health degeneration instead of instant death is so the opponent has a chance to escape while being bombed(therefore balancing the skill).

agree wiht you completely. small details like this one is what can make a game twice as good

Here's one that's good for the ele.

Lightning Rage
Elementalist - Air Magic
Spell
Energy 5
Cast time 1/4 sec.
Reuse 0

Strike target foe or any single foe near that target at random for 5...29 lightning damage.

With no recharge and a cast time of only 1/4 of a second, this is the ultimate spam spell. To clarify the description a bit, this hits only 1 target and that target could be the guy you targeted or it could be the guy next to him. The idea is you can unload your energy on 1 enemy if he's by himself, though it is less effective when enemies are huddled together. I'm imagining the ele basically holds out his arms and a bolt of lightning shoots from his arm to the enemy. It is not a projectile and has no travel time, but it does require line-of-sight. Constantly click on the spell icon and your ele stands there with his arms out with bolts shooting every quarter second.

I'm not sure if your supposed to critique these, but OMG.

The mesmer skill is a bit overpowered... and the necro one doesn't make sense. Most of the necro skills under blood magic steal health, why would someone use an enchment that negated the health stealing attribute? Does the redirected steal add onto the damage already from the steal? Cuase then that would be cool, a vamp gaze that did like 120 damage? w00t, but yeah a lil overpowering if that's the case.

I still think i'd be uber happy with a sorrows furnace shout or the one in hells area enchantments (forget the name) maybe chimera? and the Kilroy Stonekin shout?
