Spare Change Skill
Bluefeather
I don't know if this has been discussed in the past. But one of my favorite skills in FF Series is the Spare Change. It is a non-elemental, armor ignoring damage. I wonder if it is a good idea to include a similar skill in GW2. Imagine throwing away 1k of Gold against enemy that will do 1k damage it's a 1-hit kill.

Who doesn't pick up the stuff that's on the ground? Sorry, I must have missed that memo where people decided not to pick anything up.
o_O?
And rich? What part of literally throwing away money makes someone rich?
I'm just not seeing the sense in any of this.

Not being rude, but I think you should just stick to playing Final Fantasy.

The thing that keeps spare change in FF in check is the fact that you have other skills that do way more damage, like the summon knights of the round. If the skill does say, 0-100 damage with balanced cast time/recharge time, then it's totally plausible, but then it'd be pretty useless when you can equip other spells.

Some suggestions are solely based upon "I like _____ in another game, please put it in GW." These suggestions are almost entirely bad, because they don't take into account that GW and that other game are vastly different. You may as well suggest adding nukes.

If it's something that would fit into the GW universe, sure...but I just don't see the inhabitants of GW throwing money at each other. Part of the reason it works for FF is that the FF universe (or Multiverse if you will) is that it retains some "cutesy"-ness to it.

I've been to other forums (actually i have my own forum, too) and most of the time, suggestions and ideas come from other people's experience (games, and other things). Only few people who have the "good brain" to come up with unique, creative ideas. But even so, we still encourage people to come up with ideas because maybe something good will come out of it.
By the way, in my work place, we have what we call "Suggestion Plan." Employees are rewarded with $1 per suggestion. If the suggestion gets implemented, he will be rewarded more (depending on cost reduced by the suggestion, etc.).
So, unless Mods are already fed up with silly, annoying ideas and suggestion, why not let new comers and players express what they think is good for the game. Anyway, this is their game, too.

The animation is pretty cool. The only thing I didn't like was that you couldn't disable it after watching it for 10000000x.
I was happy that you can disable summon animations in future games, but it's not like they take 10 minutes to complete...

You're missing out if you don't have Final Fantasy 7.
And as for the Spare Change, no. The reason it has some form of functionality in Final Fantasy is because it's armour ignoring, relatively cheap damage. We also make a great deal of our money back, depending on the fight.
In Guild Wars, it takes a great deal of time or knowledge of the market to make any decent amounts of money. To just throw that away for unblockable, armour ignoring damage on already weak, low health targets, is just going to make the game a game of money and time. The game is already taking away any form of skill it once had and this would be the last nail of the coffin.
In Final Fantasy, you can afford to do this as targets usually have a lot of health to make up for super powerful weapons, levels actually making a difference and money meaning nothing for the most part, as it was very easy to come by.

Actually, it isn't that different to consumables, just more blatant. 1k for 1k dmg is a bit high though, but 100g for 100 armor ignoring dmg (even adjacent to target aoe) and a moderate to high recharge time wouldn't break anything (given skills like pain inverter in the game). And it would also serve as a sink for cash. On the other hand the skill mechanic is a bit out of place, and doesn't fit in with other skills in the game, so I wouldn't want to see it implemented.

Go drop your money on the ground and kill the monster with stone daggers, if you use a lot of your imagination, you'll be okay.

Gold sink skill?
Why not? Instead people getting gold by killing monsters, why not letting them losing gold TO kill monsters?
It could even be added as a PvE unlinked common Prophecies skill.
It could be a reward for one of those final quests without reward, like the Sorrow's Furnace of Titan quests.
Toss Cash
B:n/a E:n/a C:1/2 R:12
Skill. Lose 10% of your current gold. For each 10 piece of gold lost, target foe takes 1 physical damage (Maximum 120) and half that damage is dealt to up to 2 foes adjacent to target foe (Maximum 60). (Common unlinked)
- That makes...
100K -> 10K lost -> 120 & 60 damage.
10K -> 1K lost -> 120 & 60 damage.
1k -> 100gold lost -> 100 & 50 damage.
1gold -> 1 gold lost -> 1 & 1 damage.
- Affected by boss status.
- Affected by armor.

You can't see me
You know, this idea has gotten me to thinking. Why don't we make a skill in which we take off our armor and toss it at mobs, or, similarly, throw our staff at someone in Guild Versus Guild? After all, why not?
Or maybe even certain items in our inventory. Since my bags are always full, they could do quite a bit of damage when thrown, and I'm sure no one wants a fetid mass thrown at them. I'll keep a few of those in my bag for human mobs.
Trust me, it's not the trolls that are scaring people away from this thread.

In RO there IS a skill to toss at enemies your luggage. And does work!!!
The more weight you have in your packs, the more damage it makes, but in GW there is no weight in stuff, items use slots.
It could be also possible that one, XD.
Farmer's Bash
E:E C:n/a R:10
Skill. All adjacent foes are knocked down. For each used up slot in your inventory, they take 3 blunt damage (Max 100). (Unlinked common)
XDDDD.

That's the purpose of gold sinks.
Those with gold to spare would toss it to the monsters.
Those that cannot spare gold, would use other skills.

If anything a throw bones skill should be made(heck they probably drop almost as much as gold does).

Final Fantasy is a single player game.
Guild Wars is a multiplayer game.
This doesn't work in a multiplayer game.
Discussion over.

I would gladly pay 1-5k to do 1-5k armor ignoring non-reduceable damage to some of the bosslike foes at the end of the dungeons. Doesn't mean it is a good idea to implement the skill, but I would waste money to use it.
