Steal 1...3 adrenaline from all foes within earshot. (Leadership)

Just an interesting thought I had, seeing as there aren't much adrenaline manipulation skills. I see use for this in PVE or GVG maybe? I don't know if it should be kept in leadership, as I suspect warriors might want to get their hands on this. I'm not even sure if this should be an elite for paragons, but rather a tactics elite. Thoughts?

Just a thought in a realistic way: how can you ever steal adrenaline. I mean, energy is something different, but when you look to what adrenaline actually is...it makes no sense.

And I think this would be more of a warr skill than a paragon one

There's already an elite that deals with giving adrenaline. Still I think new elites all round would be nice.

Shouts tend not to have activation times, and I'm assuming it's a shout because of the quotation marks.

Stealing adrenaline doesn't make much sense, but foes losing adrenaline and you gaining it from their loss does, even though the distinction may be a tad pedantic.

Also, I think the range may be a bit crazy. Apart from removing other warrior's adrenaline and possibly delaying them, you would take adrenaline from sins, rangers, dervishes, anything melee. (I forget whether wanding accumulates adrenaline, or even if adrenaline can be accumulated for a player with no adrenaline skills).

Either way for 15 energy it'd be way too expensive for me to want to use anyway ^_^

I could see if it was something like:

Calm all enemies in nearby area, taking their anger and making it your own.

However, this would immediately get nerfed by A-Net, because some meta-gamers would make it into some kind of incredible adrenaline denial team build.

thanks for all of the input. i was really interested in the idea of adrenaline denial since the only skills that actively deal with such are those mesmer illusion spells (sympathetic/ancestor's visage, soothing images). while i guess this skill would work much better as a warrior skill, i still think the concept of re-allocating adrenaline, whether it be to yourself or to teammates, is something that paragons should do. with that said, here is my revised version.

All foes in the area lose 1...3 adrenaline. For every point of adrenaline lost, you gain one point.

Surely it would be nerfed faster than the skill could be unlocked.

maybe 25 energy, 45 second recharge. All foes lose 1..2 adrenaline. For every affected foe, you gain one point.

Replace the Steal Adrenaline with Steal Ecto and it would be Perfect!

There allready are skills which hinders adrenalin in foes (as mentioned earlier). Its really a mesmer thing, not a paragon or even a warrior thing.

Also I dont see how absorbing other peoples hormones makes any sense in the paragon line, or any line at all.
