If you were designing the bars for Costume Brawl

what do you do differently? Interested in hearing what others think after reading another CB thread where people were people favored certain professions over others because they had the best bars.

I make it permanent arena.
And yeah, it's not a bar. It's what needs to be done.

Makes it permanent and lower the gamer points rewards.
And give E another elite skill, plz
Edit : give E a whole new bar

Mostly it's pretty balanced.
I'd just give everyone a drug to make them not stupid, that would fix most of the balance issues.

The current builds are nicely balanced. The only one skill wich bothers me is Death's charge. Seriously i think if it was removed, the 10-year-old-kis-who-play-ninja-naruto-with-their-assa wouldn't play rambo vs 5 players on his own.

Eles need a new bar, and rits need a bundle item imo.

Otherwise, it's just fine.

Make the Paragon and Dervish actually useful.
Give the warrior a shout or something (I will survive would be nice)
Seeing as the A/W builds are knock-down heavy this year perhaps supportive spirit or balthazar's pendulum on the monk builds.

To start, I'd give the Ranger D-shot back.

Get rid of Palm strike. I don't mind the DC just the whole 'I KD you now lolol' thing that comes right after it.

I say keep it. Theres nothing funnier than having my necro and targetting a sin...i just watch for deaths charge then use Plague sending...there goes their whole chain. Noob sins are so predictable.

lol! i must have seen this happen a thousand times in the last few days, it's so frustrating to have one of these guys in almost every single team you get -_-.

I'd change the ranger bar this year, it's tooooo energy expensive... rangers should have been given 14 expertise this year with s shot as the only interrupt.

What?!

Snare.
Blind.
High Damage.
Energy Management.
Low Casting Time with 40/40.


Enchantment stripping is not a problem, if you face a necro you just recast AoR.
There is NO daze in the current Custom Brawl.
If an elementalist knows what do cast, on the right person, he can be the most useful player in the whole team.

Warrior,I dont think Devestating Hammer is the great in a arena like this,by the time you charge up you'll be needing a heal, i guess you could always get 4 adrenline and then lion's for the rest, but a war should really not have to do that just to start his chain.On the other hand,there isn't really anything better and there is no "lose all adreneline skill" so that makes it not too bad.

Warrior.: Swap heal sig for lion's (I mean there isnt even res sig for noobs to disable) and tiger for "I will survive".

Ranger.: Melandru's Shot,Read The Wind for pin down and leave the rest,RTW would be better if it still had the +damage so kindle could also be a choice, but i think id preffer RTW

Monk.: Dump Sig of Devotion put patient instead,dump judges intervention and put divine intervention instead,leave the rest.

Necro.: I cant come up with something else, although i dont like taste of pain and rip enchantment.

Mesmer.:Are Fine.

Ele.: Drop Shard Storm for Glowing Ice and Swap E Attunment for Glimmering mark Drop hammer and put Slippery Ground.

Sin.: Delete them from the game.

Ritualist.: Is fine if you want a bar like there is,they dont give you a item spell because they want you to use the spirit instead,so they should give you a spirit that recharges in 20 but there is nothing usefull to take.So its either it stays the same, or you get destruction instead of bloodsong.

Paragon.: Barbed Spear,Maiming Spear,Blazing Spear.Keep the none attack skills except for fallback, replace with incoming.

Dervish.: Drop Pious for Lyssa's Assault.Drop Onslaught for Reaper's Sweep.Drop Chilling for Mystic Corruption.Drop touch forPious Restoration.
Dervish is the only class that cnat remove conditions,let them remove hexes then.

Learn to play Ele. The only profession able to kill it is Mesmer, but those can be avoided with Winter's Embrace.
