Nature rituals affect everyone. That ritual you're referring too would be useful to elementalists or other such enchantment reliant professions/builds, enough so that it would be worth providing your enemies with the same bonus (because a team like IWAY may not benefit as much).

Ritualist:
Unwanted Aura{Elite}
Casting time: 10 Energy: 25 Recharge time: 40
For 5-10 seconds, spirits may not enter your aggro range unless they are targeting an ally. This may only be used once per battle.

15 energy
3 second cast
60 second recharge

Create 1-4 mirror images of yourself, each with 10-40 health, for 10-40 seconds. Mirror images do what the caster does, but cause no damage. When mirror image is destoryed by spell or physical damage, caster takes 40-10 damage.

Mirror image {Elite Illusion}
E - 10, C - 1/4, R - 45
Spell. Teleport to a random position in the area. 1...6 identical illusions of yourself are randomly scattered in the area for 10....45 seconds. If an illusion is hit in melee that foe is knocked down, suffers 20....80 damage and that illusion ends. If you are hit in melee all illusions end. (illusions copy all your actions but cause no damage)

>>The idea is to confuse your opponent with the illusions. Illusions have the same amount of HP as you have and 0 energy (If you cast spells they just do the animation and their projectiles have no effect, but opponents still won't know which one actually hit them as they would be all in sync. Illusions can either be killed like normal chars by spells or bows, disappear when hit in melee, or when time is up.

Elite Enchantment Spell. Lose half of your current energy, While you mantain this enchantment, nothing happens. When you stop mantaining Energy Store or this enchantment is removed you gain energy equal to the amount you lost.

Why make the 90 second recharge if it recharges itself?

Forget a thing in it.


Fixed

Archer's Singet
(OK, not a new skill, but it's not like many people use it now)
Same effects as current Archer's Signet, except the free attacks also strike as if you have +0-3 in Marksmanship and +0-3 in the linked attribute (if applicable and not Marksmanship).

The breakpoints on the bonus att levels are the same as the Expertise breakpoints for a 5 energy skill. Note that the bonus marks will affect the base damage and critical hit chance.

Redirect
10en, 1 cast, 10 recharge Inspiration Magic hex spell.
For 1-5 seconds, the next spell cast on target foe is redirected to you.

Note that this will also redirect spells cast by your own team. Make sure that you're careful to let the group know when you do this. Apart from targeting you instead of the intended target, the spells work exactly the same, apart from the bit saying what it can be cast on.

Probably needs tweaks on the recharge time and duration.

Glyph of Ethereal Mastery.
25en, 1 cast, 60 recharge Elementalist Elite glyph.
For 15 seconds, the next spell you cast causes you to lose all energy. For each point of energy lost, that skill will cause one point less of exhaustion, or cast one quarter second faster, or recharge one half second faster, or you gain five points of health. This glyph causes exhaustion

The ors in that description are to show that it doesn't cause all of those conditions on each point of energy lost. It goes through the list in order, doing the first one it can for each point. This will have the effect, if you are at a very high energy level, of making your next spell cause no exhaustion, cast instantly, recharge instantly and heal you substantially.It's like glyph of essence, but elite, recharging in twice the time, far more expensive, and with better conditions.

Ritualist
Glass Weapon
Casting time: 10 Energy: 15 Recharge Time: 20
Target ally's weapon becomes Glass Weapon for 5 seconds. This weapon may not be used against non-spirits. Spirits attacked with this weapon are automatically destroyed, and the master of the spirit regains the energy used to summon. The skill is then recharged.
Raised Channelling increases duration by 1 second
Edit:whoa, I only have 11 skills up? I gotta go find my idea book, I have lots more

Ritualist
Soulbringer's Gamble
Casting Time: 2 Energy:-- Recharge Time: 10
A sacrifice of 5, 15, or 30 energy is randomly made. Depending on amount sacrificed, enemy loses 30, 15, or 5 energy.
Raised Channelling Magic raises the 5 energy lost of a sacrifice of 30 energy.

I’m starting to imagine that this will have more useless skills due to elite skills, if only to provide something for players to do in PvE (capture elite skills) or to just make a lot of easy balancing skills (can only equip one of them at a time)

I think of it like this, a skill should be elite only for 2 reasons.

1. They are a better version of another skill. Ex. Cripple shot, energy surge, restore condition

2. They would create a combo with another skill that is superior to most other options. Ex. Martyr & Plague Signet. Poison Arrow & Melandrus Arrows. IW & HB.


There is a third and fourth reason. If a skill gives you energy then it’s likely elite. And then some skills are elite just to be elite.
I sort of disagree with this, but o well. I’m just going over the 2 I do agree with.
The first reason is oblivious, its better it needs to be elite.
The second is a bit of a controversy though.

If a skill is made elite just to keep it from being a killer combo, that skill should be buffed in such a way that it is obviously useful in a broad group of situations.
If a skill can’t fit that bill, it needs a buff to sustain it’s eliteness in order to be anything except completely overlooked and why bother the skill even existing.

That I think is a bit of a skill suggestion towards some of the current elites.


I went back though this page and saw that I posted a bunch of skills much earlier in it.
I’m just going over it and reposting some of the ones I liked with a few new revisions.

Raised Protection lowers recharge time.

Goonter, you have some good ideas there. The only one that would make me pause is that curse one, "Crush Hope." That seems a bit strong to me.

I really like the others a lot though. A blood necro can help with the healing quite well. To give them a straight heal spells is just a natural extension. Perhaps it will help reduce the dependancy on monks.

Thanks.

I was thinking that too about crush hope i stared at it for like 6 minutes thinking of what it needed to stay in some balance. If its spotted that easy I think my original intuition that it was overly strong was right.

I like the skill description.
maybe a 40 second recharge?

Heres some

Elite Skill.You hold Master Togo ashes.When dropped,u summon Master Togo which deals 19-31 dmg with each sucessful hit.This lasts for 15 seconds.

rong626, I'd say a lot of those are a bit overpowered.

One thing I want to point out specifically though, since it's relevant to other people in this thread, is that skills like Opeal will likely never exist in this game. If you look at all the skills there currently are in Guild Wars, none of them penalize an ally with the exception of ranger spirits (and those are indirect).

If a skill does have a penalty, it is always suffered by the caster, never the ally you put it on. There's good reason for that too. You're messing with your ally's role.

i guess so but what are the chances of the skills ppl created here to be palced in guildwars?

i edit the skills to make more sensible

Cresent Sun-Ranger-Markmenship-Nrg cost 10-Recharge time 10 secs-
Attack.You shoot an arrow with deals 10-20 dmg.With each sucessful hit target foe is crippled for 10 seconds.If this attack misses,u lose 5 nrg.
