[SPOILER] New GWEN PvE Only Skills

Dude, Great Dwarf Weapon could use bows Rangers will do some KD far in the fight.

Yeah, you just need to convince another player to bring it, because it's only on target other ally .

Wow, liking the look of these skills. Where did the descriptions come from? I mean, I know there were some in that one video, but you couldn't see any descriptions, could you?

Dont confuse with Wiki.ORG and wiki.COM... 1 is late in the skill descriptions

Looks like junundu style but with one skill to transform into. Well, it looks like we need to take care about the energy. Seriously, I like that

I LOVE the avatar for Pain Inverter..HOW cute is That!!!

Damn, I thought these would be more like the Dervish form skills, but really they're on command Junundu abilities. So really, these 3 skills are actually 24 skills, as you get a new bar of 8 skills. Could introduce some interesting group dynamics depending on what the skills are.

Gosh ... Just thinking how much fun it will be to "Run with the Pack" ... LOL that Volfen Blessing idea is just getting sweeter and sweeter as I think about it.

Also I wonder if your pet will die if you change forms like what happens when you enter a worm.

Furthermore just as a side comment this skill should increase your attack speed by 33% just for the fun of it.

I don't know, I was looking forward to trying out totems. I am a ranger, and I'm not liking the idea of Elementalists getting the best use of totems because they have Energy Storage.

Also do all these skills cause exhaustion? We could be getting into profession conflicts here.

None of them cause exhaustion as far as we know. The same problem still exists with Junudus, Warriors and Paragons get screwed.

sry to curse but...
OMFGWTFTIBSIMCOOMFFFFFFFFFF(breath)FFFFG(struck by lightning

DoA more like domain of corpses

OK, there have been several threads worrying about the Grind of these Title Tracks, and I just wanted to put my opinions here, so I didn't have to respond to each thread.

First off, we have no idea how these skills will be rewarded. Some of these PvE only skills could be as simple as Quest Rewards (Anet has confirmed Skill Quest Rewards are back, although we don't know how many of those will be PvE only. I assume skills like Light of Deldrimor will be a Quest Reward, because it sounds like it will have a major impact on the dungeon crawl).

Second, even if these are like the Sunspear Ranking skills, that doesn't worry me. Sunspear Ranks were easy to gain, and you could be level 7 in no time. Level 8 by beating the game. Level 9 and 10 pretty much requires Hard Mode, but I have no problem with that, as the difference in effect from Level 8 to 9 is minimal.

My only problem with the GWEN PvE only skills is if they are modeled after the Luxon/Kurzick factions, which I just don't think Anet will do. I don't think these skills will be account wide, and since we are building up "faction" with 4 different groups, it just wouldn't work like it does in Factions.

I was curious what others thought, or if anyone had confirmed information of how these skills will be rewarded.

I read somewhere recently - think it was the MMOGNation blogpost - that there was a quest to help some NPC find some ale, and as a reward you got a skill that had improved effects if you used it while drunk (pretty sure this skill is Feel No Pain.) I'm willing to bet there will be skill quests like this for maybe half of the PvE skills, while the rest will be rewarded for attaining certain faction ranks (like Lightbringer's Gaze/Signet) or possibly bought directly from a Faction Skill Trainer or something.

As for the faction titles themselves, I really don't think they're going to be like Luxon/Kurzick faction, especially since there are 4 of them. I'm thinking they'll have a "grind-factor" somewhere between the Sunspear and Lightbringer titles, with plenty of options for gaining points - quests, bounties, and minigames.

Nice one on the skills

Luxon and Kurzick titles had a few repeatable quests for 400,a few primarys for 1000+ and then it pretty much went to AB/FA/JQ (And then blessings were introduced). IMO the Reputation titles will be easy to max out through quests and general fighting through areas much like Sunspear. And with the mini games i think it will be fun

I seriously hope it's NOT Sunspear/Lightbringer like character-based.
Grinding the same thing just to be able to get anywhere, and then times N? It is such a boring chore.

dunno if its mentioned yet, but they have the form descriptions for 2/3 of the Norn Form skills up, and each of the summons only use one skill.
