THE pve skill for each class

I was thinking about the GW classes and how some are missing pve skills that would allow them to "complete" their role. These skills are imbalanced or too difficult to code by nature and so have been left out of the game. But here's a chance to reinvent them. You get one pve skill for each class and it must fit with their lore/whole image.

Here's mine (I think monks and dervishes are pretty much complete in their concept):

Warrior: "You there!" Shout: For 5 seconds targeted enemy only attacks you. Energy: 5, Recharge: 10

Elementalist: Elemental Ritual- Spell: Summon an elemental from the same element as your weapon's attribute. It's lvl is the same as your attribute in that branch of magic +6. (e.g., lvl 22 with 16 fire magic). Each elemental last for 20 seconds and has 500 health. The earth elemental has stoning and ebon hawk. The fire elemental has phoenix and inferno. The water elemental has ice spikes and glowing ice. The air elemental has shock and lightning touch. Activation: 5, Energy: 15, Recharge 90

Ranger: Entangling Trap- Trap: When Entangling Trap is triggered, 2 nearby foes are trapped in a net for 10 seconds. They are immune to damage but cannot act. Entangling Trap ends after 90 seconds. While activating this Skill, you are easily interrupted. Activation: 3, Energy: 15, Recharge: 60

Necromancer: Soul Sacrifice- Spell: Target ally is killed (can be you), but incurs no death penalty. From their corpse a lvl 25 Avatar of Grenth is summoned. The avatar steals 10 health per attack and has the following skills: Deathly swarm, life siphon and insidious parasite. The Avatar can only remain in this world for 30 seconds.
Activation: 1/4, Energy: 10, Recharge: 60

Mesmer: Mesmerize- Spell: Target foe has a 80% chance to be mind controlled. The mesmer's bar is replaced by that monsters and their view shifts to that monster. The mind control last for 60 seconds but has a chance to break on damage, it will end if the monster dies. . During the spell the caster's body is sucked into the ether and kept safe from harm.
Activation: 3, Energy: 10, Recharge: 90

Assassin: Stealth- Form: When this skill is activate you assume a shadowy form. You become invisible to all enemies but move 50% slower and cannot uncover fogged areas on the map. You lose all your skills but gain three new ones.:
Ambush: From stealth you attack a foe, it has a 40% chance to hit (modified by enemy lvl) and fails on boss monsters. If this attack hits you deal damage equal to 90% of their life. Breaks stealth.
Shock powder: From stealth you assault a foe, knocking them down for 4 seconds. Breaks stealth.
Appear: Removes the stealth form from you and returns your original skills:
Energy: 10, Activation: 1, Recharge: 120

Paragon: Aura of Command- skill: For the next 20 seconds your shouts last 5 seconds longer and are 20% more effective.
Energy: 5, Recharge: 45

Ritualist: Primal Fear- spell: Targeted enemy is haunted by terrible images of the dead and flees in fear for 5 seconds. They do not agro other mobs but travel away from the caster in a random direction at 80% of their normal speed. They are unable to act while this effect is occuring.
Energy: 25, Activation: 3, Recharge: 20



That's my lot, have you got any ideas?

Stopped reading after Ele and thought, "what about the people who use +5/30 weapons?"

Mazey first of all you forgot Monk and Dervish, shame on YOU!
second of all, the idea itself is good, the skills you proposed arent... dont try to make GW into WoW/DnD/MtG, keep GW as GW...
also try to keep all the skills at around the same level of overpoweredness(and not too much of that).
also as these skills are unique to each profession link them to that profession's primary attribute and unlike the kurzick/luxon and sunspear skills exclude these skills for secondaries.
here are my opinions, for all classes mind you

Warrior: Rage of the Warrior- stance, for 5...20...25 seconds you move and attack 33% faster and deal 5...20...25% more damage. 10, 0, 20.

Ranger: Natural Strength- skill, for 30...50...60 seconds your preparations take half as long to cast, your stances last for 33...50...55% longer and your Expertise attribute is increased by 1...3...4. 15, 0, 45.

Elementalist: Wrath of the Elements- hex spell, target foe and all foes in the area are struck for 30...45...50 damage and move 33% slower for 2...4...6 seconds. when this hex ends each foe affected by this hex sends lightning bolts towards all nearby allies of that foe. these bolts deal 15...25...30 damage. this spell has 25% armor penetration. 15, 2, 15.

Mesmer: Duality of Lyssa- enchantment spell, for 5...10...12 seconds whenever you cast a spell that targets a foe 1 nearby foe of the same type is also targeted by this spell if no such foe is available this spell recharges 33...60...66% faster. 5, 1, 8.

Necromancer: Soul Corruption- spell, all hexes on target foe are transfered to all nearby foes. the duration of these hexes is increased by 10...20...25%. 10, 2, 5.

Monk: Dwayna's Wrath- spell, all allies in the area are healed for 50...80...90 health and all foes in the area are dealt 50...80...90 holy damage. 10, 1, 10.

Assassin: Paralizing Aura- hex spell, target foe is hexed with Paralizing Aura, it moves 25% slower and is unable to attack and use skills. this hex ends when the caster kills another target. 10, 2, 20

Ritualist: Call on the Mists- skill, for 5...10...12 seconds whenever you cast a spell 1 random 10 spirit is summoned at your location. 5, 1, 20

Paragon: "Who is the Leader?"- shout, for 5...10...12 seconds all allies in the area gain 2...4...5 health generation and 0...1...2 energy regeneration and all foes in the area lose 1...1...2 energy whenever they use a skill. 10, 1, 8.

Dervish: Revenge of the Gods- enchantment spell, for 10...20...25 seconds foes struck by your attacks suffer from 1 random condition and lose 1 enchantment. 10, 2, 35.

not sure about some of these skills, but overall I tried to make them not too overpowered but still pretty strong. also opens up lots of interesting options in PvE.
