Snowball Fight: New Skills

The "6" slot in the Snowball fight corresponds to a profession specific skill. Since we've had 4 new professions since the last Wintersday, what are these new skills?

I've found 2:

Paragon:



That ability is completely and utterly useless, since you are never in earshot of your Allies that often. And you don't get much benefit. Would have worked better at 200% speed.

Ritualist:



Yes, that's right, a Spirit! It summons a snowman named Jack Frost. I believe he attacks more frequently, since he has no aftercast delay. But, you can only have 1 of each within a certain range (like all other spirits)

What are the Dervish/Assassin skills?

The Jack Frost spirit is BRUTAL... especially when they plant him in your base.

The Assassin gets Side Step. You shadow step to a location in the area and get healed for 50. Not jaw-dropping but the recharge is fair enough.

The assassin skill is worthless. Teleports you like two feet in a random direction and heals you for one snowball.

The rit skill is great, though.

The Ritualist skill is going to be so much fun...

Dervish apparently have a unique skill for each side:



Avatar is a normal Grenth. The skill sucks, since 5 health is nothing where everyone has 400 health.

I presume there's an Avatar of Dwayna, can anyone tell me what it is?

The Assassin's is Side step. you teleport to a random location, and get 50 health.

My ele had a skill similar to Ice spikes. It does damage and slows enemy down. Also, it seems some of my skills are random. One battle I have Yellow Snow and the next its replaced with Avalanche. Anyone else?

If you spawn on Grenth's side you have Yellow Snow, on Dwayna you have Avalanche.

We are discussing the new class skills, many of us know about the old ones, and if not, can visit guildwiki.

yes, avalanche and yellow snow change.

You get Yellow Snow on one side, and Ava on the other. It just decides on what team you randomly get on.

Also the ice spikes like skill is old, from last year.

Sweetness! My rit will be going in here tomorrow!

GOd that skill rocks!

Avatar of Dwayna: For 30 seocnds, you get 10 health each time you use an attack skill.

rotfl so imbalanced, but as a huge fan of Rt i love it

lol its just for fun, it dont need to be balanced

heh Rits get a great skill, I'm going to make one just for Snowball PvP thanks A.net

Lol, delete afterwards Firebat?

Well I have a Level 18 Rit, which is being used as a Mule at the moment. Now would be a good chance to level her up in the Snowball Arena and make use of the Spirit skill in the meantime

Makes you wish you had the Paragon skill. It is like the Avatar of Grenth but 50x worse because it only heals you for 10 on throwing.

This is not a discussion of the merits of making CCshards available through the Snowball Arena.
