this idea just kinda came to me

Engulfing Flames(elite)
Enchantment(fire magic)
15E 3 second cast time 15 second recharge
for 10 seconds you are enchanted with engulfing flames. while enchanted with Engulfing flames you suffer -7 degen and all attacks against you fail. if any foe becomes adjacent to you they are set on fire for 1..3 seconds. if the foe is adjacent when burning ends they are set on fire for an additional 1...3 seconds. when engulfing flames ends all nearby foes are set on fire for 1...3 seconds.

i know its a long skill description but tell me what you think ^^

The duration should not be variable.

Sounds a lot like Burning Speed, just more energy intensive, longer cast, and longer recharge. Burning speed only sets you on fire for 5 seconds, and gives up to 8 seconds of burning when it ends. The only bonus I see to your skill is that when it ends, nearby foes are set of fire and not just adjacent.

All in all, I think it is too complicated and conditional for what the outcome might be.

So basically you set the enemy team on fire by burning yourself and running around in circles.....not a good concept no matter the numbers.

name is a rip off of Magic the Gathering / WoW skill.

so no.

Also, you might want to think over the nonremovable part. Shouts and chants are nonremovable and they caused quite a stir.

Maybe it could reduce/prevent damage dealt to the person, but would probably need to be made an elite.

Engulfing Flames (Elite)
Enchantment(fire magic)
10E 2 second cast time 15 second recharge
For 10 seconds all attacks against you miss, and you suffer -7 health degeneration. If any foe becomes adjacent to you they are set on fire for 1..3 seconds. If the foe is adjacent when burning ends they are set on fire for an additional 1...3 seconds. When Engulfing Flames ends, all nearby foes are set on fire for 1...3 seconds.

May be a little overpowered.

Also, my inspiration: http://drmcninja.com/page.php?pageNum=15&issue=4
"Ninjas can't catch you if you're on fire"

Balthazar's Aura + Engulfing Flames + Poisoned Heart
Have a monk cast Balthazar's Aura on you and you can use Poisoned heart and Engulfing Flames. Now that's and interesting combo.
Though the Dervish can easily top that.

They also wouldn't suffer -10 degeneration while doing it. So this would probably still be a rather balanced skill, if Elite.

yea this is like mist form with burning but the reason it is still balanced is cause the burning is on you too so yea..... but that would be a very vicious combo heh.... definetly need a monk to heal yea >.< or breeze lol

I still think Mist Form should be buffed. Or did they buff it and I didn't notice...

well, I see abuse with this skill already. Pile on the enchants (this being one of them) and top it off with mystic regeneration to counter the enchantments -7 degen effect, and you have an unstoppable force.... ok, not quite... but it's pretty scary to think about

lol not really unstopable i mean spells can kick your ass and it only causes burning not mega damage
