Hm. I love the rit, and the mesmer lines of magic have cool, vaguely similar ideas to this one....

New ritualist elite:

Spirit of Panic
Cost 20
Cast 1 sec
Recharge 45 sec

Create a level 1-8 spirit.
Every 10 seconds, one random foe in the area develops PANIC.
Foes who panic attack 75% slower for 10 seconds. They then attack 33% faster for 5 seconds.
This spirit dies after 32 seconds.

So basically, inside the spirit's range, one foe would panic, and attack noticeably slower. After 10 seconds, that enemy would accelerate his/her/its attacks, and another enemy would slow down. 10 seconds later, THAT enemy accelerates, and one last enemy slows down.

I opted for the accelerated attack afterwards to keep this balanced. If your player wasn't ready, a panic attack could certainly throw some damage on someone.

What do you think?
