What if there was different spells/skills for certain proffesion combos. For example, Warrior/Monk could have something like:
Holy Strenth: For every critical hit, your defence goes up 20% and lasts for 1 min.
If not, do they already have those kinds of things? What do you think?

There are already enough skills and combos as it is.

No, it would be earned stricly by quests or missions. Special Skills. I'm not talkin rangers, warriors, etc. I mean spells on ur build.

/signed. I like the idea of adding some extra skills that would require either 2 professions or 2+ teammates to activate the same skill. Skills such as these would require more teamwork than normal but would offer bigger benefits.
This isn't practical for GW, but could be used in GW2.
Whirlwind Pyramid - Requires 3-8 teammates with the skill to activate. Players activating the skill form up a pyramid and knocks down all enemies within aggro circle for 5 seconds. Enemies are dazed for 30 seconds.
(Yes, I watched too much Gatchaman as a kid)

Déjà vu.
Seen this suggestion before but if I remember correctly, it got shot down.

Also as it right now there are no real holes for new skills to fill.
They either end up weaker and not used.
More powerful and the older skill is not used.
Or gimmick skills only useful in 1 or 2 builds.
I say make the current useless skills useful before you look to add more.

Been suggested before. There are 2 problems.
1) balancing skills. Could be tough work to balance a bunch of new skills.
2) The # of skills. There are 90 different profession combinations possible (9 possible secondaries x 10 possible primaries). That would mean that for this system to work, there would need to be AT least 90 new skills added into the game, and probablly double that if you want to give people options. 90-180 skills is a LOT. You could pratically design a whole new class with that many.

There are a lot of skills already. To add more skills without adding a new class is foolish imo.

They are already having problem balancing the game as it is (if you can even call it balance), what do you think will happen if we add more skills?

Cool idea but not in GW maybe in GW2
So for PvE /half signed as there are good enough PvE skills allready
and for PvP just no, too many more skills would be added to be able to balance.

1000+ skills not 700 =P
I suggested that idea a while ago. It's a great concept, except it's not necessary for the skill synergy (that is not apparent) in GW. It's there, just not with the SPECIAL borders.

New skills are often asked for because certain "pvp" players have made the current ones unusable to PvE'rs.
Gotta remember Anet's not smart enough to seperate the 2 categories.
Tough luck.

btw both skills still stack.
EG. i was in UW farmin Bladed axxtes. Let one kill me for 324 dmg.
warped out. went back in initiated the skills. 7-18 dmg per hit.
Btw Knights insigs are useful. I can kill pretty much everything in there with the 2 skills goin. They still stack. ^ ^
