Each hero has his own Elite Skill

How about each hero having his/her own unique skill which can be selected for his/her skill bar. Just like we have PvE skills, let them have their own unique skill.

Hah, yeah, As long as they are so bad that no one would ever use them.

/notsigned :/

yeah, players can't use them but the specific hero can. Jora, ursan blessing. Etc.

I have one thing to ask.

Why?

no thanks, more imba pve skills is baed.

Heroes are useful enough, I see no reason to give them unique skills.

I dont know if this is original, but it definitely sounds like it! I really like this idea, it provides a reason to use a specific ele/whatever hero over another besides having different skins. It could even be used to test race-specific qualities that may be implemented in gw2.

However, let it be noted that if anet were to toy around with hero-specific skills/benefits, it MUST be confined to PvE. I mean, its PvE, who cares anyways? It's like PvE only skills, if you have a problem with them, don't put the hero-specific pve only skill on him.

Good idea! (earnestly)

I think this would be too much for ALL heroes...
however, for non-human heroes like Pyre and Razah, I don't see how giving them a (balanced) unique skill would hurt.

Im all for it. I think its a good idea, i would also like to see 7 Heros. That would also be nice.

/notsigned

Triple necro doesn't make PvE easy enough, huh?

That's not the point. The point is, why buff something already strong? PvE is already easy as shit, we don't need heroes to be made stronger.

I'll sign it as long as the elete skills are not any better than what they already have - - -

therefore I propose that they be termed "unique skills" instead

Eh I'm not big on this idea
It's like people said heroes are alrdy good enough
This would just make pve more imbalanced
And it would give more reasons to not play with real players

If this would have been good enough for the game the idea would have existed when Nightfall came out. Implying that the thought may have gone through Anet, but wasn't implemented. Of that reason I am sure you'll find many explanations, including from the team itself.

/no

I am already happy with how powerful heroes are. It would be nice in the story line if each had his own specific skill. In terms of the discord way comment, I guess once all the cry babies have whined enough that will be nerfed, just as Ursanway was. It is a pity that heroes are not account wide and get unlocked per character instead of being obtained. Also the limit of 3 would have been nice if they had made it full single player party.

There is no need to make those skills all-powerful.

But they should go with the Plot.

For example:
Dunkoro's Combat Tactics.
E:5 C:2 R:2
Skill. Dunkoro analyzes the target creature and gets information about it.
- The information will be anything used in battle mechanics: Raze, profession, level, Health, Energy, De/Regenerations pips, Armors(including waknesses), Damage absortion, effects, etc...
- Works in any creature, even spirits and allies.

Jora's Bear Form.
She's a Norn. She recovered her power. She should proudly use it.

Margrid's Corsair Net
Not precisely the strongest of skills. But all corsairs except Margrid have it.

Olias' Immortality
E:25 C:5 R:60 S:50%
Enchantment Spell. If Olias dies under the effect of this enchantment, he is resurrected automatically after death with no dead penalty, 50% Health and 50% Energy. Olias will be immune to any attack damage of skills during the next 5 seconds after being resurrected.
-This guy was brought back by Grenth. So it would make perfect sense to be able to sacrifice half his health to put himself an enchantment that makes him 'immortal'.

Zhed's Trumple
Strong, yet requires close range, not always the best thing for an elementalist, but usable.

Vekk's G.O.L.E.M. 0.9beta.
It should be like the the other four asura summons sumoning, sommoning a weak golem.

And things like those. And, of course, all of them should require quests or missions to be done so they become available.

... -reads both the old quest dialogue, and the new quest dialogue-

No where does it say Olias died. Just that he saw a vision from Grenth and reverted back to the religion of the Old Gods, instead of following the Unseen Ones.

Nothing in the new quest about his past.

Anyways, on topic:

While I did suggest that Heroes get the non-elite PvE-only skills of their faction/race, I am going to have to disagree with this on one point:

I will, however /sign to give Henchmen these unique skills.

The point of hero-specific PvE only skills, as i see it, isn't to make the game easier, but instead to add more variety and flare.

Yes, PvE is easy as shit, and its not going to get harder, so why concern yourself with semantics just to protect your "oh noez, now ze nubs r going to be 1337 like me" mentality.

The point of this would not be a "buff" but more like a reward that spices up a game that is (face it) going downhill. For storyline heros, the skills should be a reward for beating/getting to a certain point in the campaign. For non-storyline heros, uberly hard quests are in order.

Do you intend these to be used in Hero Battles and PVP too? Either way, I don't believe that heroes really need something extra to make them useful.

If it ain't broke, don't RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO with it.

Its not to make them all powerful, but have a reason for why I would like to use them at all. I have about 8 heroes that get commonly used and the others are a waste of time. Dunk, Talk, Zhed, Suzy, Livia, Olias, Masters and Xandra are the general. Most of the time 3 necro heroes + n,me,mo,r are sufficient for h/h.
