The following are negative Conditions I'd like to see in the new Skill System of Guild Wars 2:
Poison:
Instead of having a Life Degeneration like in GW1, in GW2 a poisoned Player should lose every second 3% of the actual maximum Health the Character has.
So a Character with for example 1000 HP would lose every Second 30 HP as long the Poison lasts.
Bleeding:
Bleeding should work in GW2 like in GW1, dealign to the victim a Life Degeneration of -3 (was a typo before, god that can happen, I'm a Human, no Engine)
Deep Wound:
Same Effect as in GW1, but maybe increased to a 25% Malus of Max Health instead of 20%
(i'm somehow sure characters in GW2 will receive more Health Points, than in GW1 it is the case, so increasign the percentage of DW is just normal so that it loses not on effectivity) These 5 % more are not so crucial like you may believe
Blindness:
Same as in GW1. Victim has a high Chance to miss with physical Attacks.
Weakness:
Similar to the effect of GW1. No Attribute Lowering. Just the Damage dealt by weakened Foes will become lowered by 20%.
5% Damage Reduction is way too less, there is even the old attribute Reduction of -1 to all atts then stronger. No, for a significant weakening of foes it should be at least -15-20%, but not lesser and that weakening shold count to all damage types, so also caster damage gets weaker through that.
Burning:
Similar as Burning from GW1. Victims will suffer on a Life Degeneration, but lesser than in GW1, instead of -6, its only -4, therefore burning Foes will suffer also every second some fix extra damage, while moving of 3% HP per step you do (so fix damage instead of steadily increasing damage like Savannah Heat( the fatc that Burning will do -4 degeneration insteat of -6 balances that)
Burning will also automatically heal Frost and vice versa.
Crippling: > renamed to Deformation
Physical Skills will receive all a 15% Chance to fail and Attack Speed will get reduced by 25%
Deformation is just the better naming for that Condition, than Crippling, because first one is simple a noun, while Crippling is a verb. Condition Names should stand ever in noun form.
Reduced % Effects, but effects should stay. Petrification should become the Condition for Movement Speed Decreasement
Paralysis:
Skills will reload 50% slower and the victim will receive more often Critical Hits from Enemies while on Paralysis (+10% chance)
Petrification:
Movement Speed will slow down per second by 5%, until it reaches 100% and you'll be unable to move, as long petrificaton gets not removed.
Frost:
Will interrupt anything immediately, after that you will lose per Second 10% of your max Energy. Reaches the Energy 0, before Frost gets healed. Frost becomes to Unconciousness and the victim becomes knocked down for 5 seconds
Cracked Armor:
Instead of reducing the max Armor, Cracked armor will lead to, that physical Attacks will receive all a 15% Armor Penetration Bonus and physical/magical Attacks that will deal negative status ailments, like Burning or Poison will receive through that 50% longer durations due to lesser Armor Protection.
Disease:
Will transpost following negative Conditions over to adjacent standing Allies of the targeted victim, if the targeted victim suffers on one of these conditions:
Bleeding, Poison, Weakness, Blindness, Disease itself.
No own Life Degeneration anymore, like in GW1
Fear:
The Victim will receive a 50% chance to miss with physical Attacks, but will receive from those double Adrenaline and will receive a Movement Speed bonus of 30%
Apathy:The Victim will become unable to deal Critical Hits and whenever attacking physically the victim will loose 5% of the Characters Energy Points or your Skills will become all deativated for 10 Seconds.
Exhaustion:
Same as in GW1, but not only for Ele Spells, this should be used in general to balance the more powerful Magic Spells of all Casters.
Sleep:
The target will become for short time unable to move or to use Skills, until the target will become hit by a Spell or by a physical Attack.
Hitting a sleeping foe will result in ever non blockable critical damage and will automarically end the Sleep Status
Confusion:
Movement Control will play crazy and all your Skill Slots will get replaced with ?-Icons letting you not know, what Skills you use when clicking on the buttons and there might be a 25% chance, that you might target instead of your foes a nearby Ally with your Spells and Attacks and when that happens, your character is for that while out of control for the player
Madness:
Attack Power of the Victim will increase by 25%, but Defense Power will go down by 25% too
Slowness:
Skills will activate 100% slower than normal.
Silence(Mute):
The victim becomes for short time unable to cast Spells
Deafness:
The victim becomes for short time unable to receive buffs from Shouts/Cries or Songs
Sorrow:
The Victim will receive 20% lesser Power from any Healings and no Adrenaline anymore.
Thats all I can think of and I think would GW2 have all these negative Conditions, Combats would be alot more different from those of GW1 and also alot more challenging in PvP especially, because so more negative conditions a game has, so more tactical options do you have in combat.
What do you think of these new conditions up there in my list and the little changes I made on some certain old conditions?
