Hello!

Firstly excuse me for my english grammar. Well I have an idea for a new profession, the Botanist. I always liked support professions like rits or paragons with shouts or monks

So I made some example skills what skills would it have here is the link for my idea

More skills will coming soon if I will have time for it.

discuss on its talk page and I hope you like it and can imagine some skills =)

What the holy...You really can't make your mind up.You have healign spells with 20sec recharge and then have a few spells like 'Rose Thorns: 5e 1c 20r Hex Spell. For 4..11..14 seconds target foe takes 7..15..20 damage each second.',continuous armour ignoring,aoe damage.
Then you have completely useless skills such as 'Self Destruction: 15e 2c 40r Elite Spell. Sacrifice your 100% health. All foes in the area take 80..120..145 earth damage, all adjacent foes take and additional 60 earth damage.'Riiiiiiight,why use this over your proposed 'Ground Smash: 5e 1c 15r Spell. All earby foes struck for 50..95..115 earth damage. '
Again most of these things suck because of their recharge times and sometiems imba nature...R'ock Fall: 5e 2c 15r Spell. Target foe and all adjacent foes are struck for 20..86..108 earth damage and knocked down. 'So basically an uber pwnzor earthquake and then stuff like Burning Stone: 5e ¾ c 6r spell. Target foe struck for 23..87..105 fire damage and set on fire for 0..2..3 seconds',an uber pwnzor immolate.

Hold one idea in mind for the entire profession,then branch out each attribute on how to do it.For example a warrior is meant to either maintain physical pressure or assist in spikes,which he has 3 weapon attributes to do.

Granted some ideas are good such as 'Physical Boost: 10e 1c 15r Enchantment Spell.For 1..7..10 seconds target ally receive +3 armor against physical damege whenever struck by physical damage',but you seriously can't decide whether the class is one where you spam skills or not.Havign said that no one will use skilsl that have a 45sec recharge with little benefit...

Sounds interesting - with some tweaking it could be a neat support role

Not bad idea but theres something called an elementalist. Eles use the four elements, water, fire, earth, and air. No thanks. BTW those skils are just rediculas. Its like a 4 year old made them up to only be uber skills. There has to be connection with them. SPammable 5e 3 r skills then elites that are superior and inferior. They have to serve a purpose.

Rofl i looked your "elites" your idea of stone skin is just shadow form mixed with mist form. Stupid.
Juggernaut form, what you now a dervish? only dervishes use forms thats it.

The most rediculas elite you have listed is this destruction w/e where you sacrafic 100% health for what? only 180 damadge? sorry but that is stupid to use if your gonna die right away. Might as well wand a person to death.
Physical Boost is a joke.. +3 armor? rofl that doesnt do much.
Magnetic Therapy is just shield of rejen renamed.
Spiky Ground is a trap... you said your "new" proffession was a caster? WTF is this? dervish form, paragon type healing, necro type sacing, now ranger trapping?

Now ele wards... -_-

Explosive Ground should be an elite... but u didnt make it. 5th foe? sorry but wards dont count, thats a problem and would be bugged beyond belief.

Impact: your telling me in gw there is a skill that would kill shiro, abbadon, lich lord, the great destroyer in one explorable area with just one skill? now your getting me pissed.


In conclusion i suggest this. Dont try to make up proffessions if your gonna make it look like this.Rediculas recharge times, messed up info. Trying to combine all proffesions of GW into one uber-godz RED ENGINE GORE GORE RED ENGINE GORE NPC. Your stealing skill descriptions from all proffesions without even carry out your ideas. If anet went thorough with this we would have to make a Southpark episode of a "botanist GW hacker". I dont care if you say they are used for support in ab and CM. ROFL WHAT support, send in one of those and a bonder and you can run all over uw,fow,doa put in one. Get out smell the roses because your smoking something else then tabacco.

you obviously put a lot of thought into this, but it would never work. It's overpowered and basically a mix of all the current professions, without being anything new.

Stone Skin? Heh. Uber tank.
Juggie form... Heh. A Kurzick Dervish. Overpowered and silly. Invent new creatures at least.

Self Destruction- ROFLOLMAO HAHAHA
Sacrifice- Heh. 5e free mega heal. those 160 health will heal up the 33%.
Guarding Plants: Tanking support.
Rose Thorns: HAH overpower!!! Over time armor ignoring damage with no penalty such as exhaustion? ROFL

Do I need to continue?

I'd rather have new skills for professions with lower numbers of them (namely the 4 region specific ones, and specially Paragon and Dervish)

10/10 for the effort..... I would like to see it being tested in a BETA version. You may have drawn the attention of flamers but things dont always look as good or as bad on paper.
