Nightfall Skill Update #2

http://www.guildwars.com/support/gam...llspreview.php

Shambling Horror seems interesting. A respawning minion? Of course, if you add Death Nova to that combo, not only do you get 2 minions for the price of one, but you disease and poison.

Anguish seems a tad overpowered, though,asince every decent Spirit Spammer uses Painful Bond.

Interesting indeed.

A look at some of the new sin/rit skills


ooo
"the power is yours!"
When your powers combine, I am captain planet!

"The Power Is Yours!"

Old Captain Planet reference...? Don't ask me how I remember that show...

I beat you to it; so there!

This just confuses the hell out of me.

"Shambling Horror" - Hehe, the Giovanni VTES player in me is giggling. Recycled Zombies FTW!

Some of these skills are pretty nice. Signet of Suffering looks pretty decent for hex-heavy builds. Glyph of Restoration + 25 energy spell looks nice also.

Two hexes that work great as a combo. One does dmg when they cast spells; the other does dmg when they don't cast spells. So whatever they do they take dmg.

Ok..."The Power Is Yours!" I'm pretty sure thats from Power Rangers, no? Oh...nvm...see that Capt. Planet posts...I remember that now...

And those first 3 Necro skills. Can't wait >.<

I just hope the Shambling Horror and Jagged Horror isn't the same skin as a Bone Horror and a Vampiric Horror.

Won't even touch Signet of Suffering, sounds like a different version of Soul Barbs, and I don't even use that.

Signet of Lost Souls....we'll see...sounds like it'll be something like if target is below X% health, steal/gain X energy. I always thought Soul Reaping was good enough energy management, but I guess depending on the recharge of this, it could see use. At least it being a signet means that I'm not using energy to gain energy.

Oh and Warrior skills next time plz

agreed. per Guildwiki, isn't Wastrel's Demise just a beefier version of Wastrel's Worry? maybe they've changed it since the PVP event.

Their description of Wastrel's worry seems like the backfire description. Maybe Wastrel's Demise is a version of Wastrel's Worry which only triggers on spells?

Damn, no monk skills. Maybe they really can't think of anything?

I can't wait to see the warrior skills.

Looks like soul barbs hex builds are getting a nice biff with this signet.

ANET got the WW and WD descriptions the wrong way round in that page I think.

Signet of illusions is a nice one for mesmers, I can imagine some fun times with that one.

Looks right to me. One deals damage for NOT casting spells if you have spells on your skillbar and one deals damage if you DO cast spells.

What doesn't make sense about that? Why ArenaNet hates elementalists so much?

i imagine we'll see a Swiss Army Mesmer build posted here by day after retail

lol signent of strength for the rit look aweful. just step away and the offensive rit is down one spirit, wouldn't want to waste a skill slot on sucide for spirits, there are more useful ways to kill my spirits if i chose to do so.

anguish migh tbe a good addition to teh pain/bloodsong duo but we'll see

You've never played a Warrior against a Spirit Spammer, have you? It's quite fun.

I wonder if Signet of Might will work on all summoned creatures?

Flesh Golem + Signet of Might, then re-rez Fleshy from his own corpse.

The Wastrel's section has a mix-up. It should read:

"Trapper's Speed" is going to make builds like vim and iway that much more annoying. I don't like it.

"Trapper's Speed" actually by the look of it will mean super fast trap settings for UW trappers if it stacks with QZ and EW.
