Depression - Ritualist - Communing

I'd go more with:

Depression - Ritualist - Communing
Energy: 15
Casting Time: 1 second
Recharge: 30 seconds
Elite Binding Ritual: Create a level 1...11...13 Spirit of Depression. Causes -0...8 health degeneration to foes within earshot. Deals 0...10 damage each second to hexed foes. This spirit loses 25 health every time a foe is affected. This spirit dies after 30 seconds.

If they're hexed, foes become even more depressed! Get it? xD

haha i get it. I should have renamed it. I wanted an elite version of Agony in a way.


Terror - Ritualist - Communing
Energy: 15
Casting Time: 1 second
Recharge: 20 seconds
Elite Binding Ritual: Create a level 1...11...13 Spirit of Terror. All nearby Foes lose 20...80...90 health every 3 seconds. This spirit takes 45...40...10 damage every 3 seconds for every foe affected. This spirit dies after 20 seconds.

This spirit doesn't lose health, it actually takes damage; thus, skills like Armor of Unfeeling will still affect it.

Sympathetic Soul - Dervish - Mysticism
Energy: 15
Casting Time: 2 seconds
Recharge: 30 seconds
Elite Enchantment Spell: For 0...24...30 seconds, target ally and all nearby allies are enchanted with Sympathetic Soul. If an ally casts a non-elite, non-maintained enchantment while under the effects of Sympathetic Soul, you gain the enchantment as well and Sympathetic Soul ends on that ally.

Notes: inspired by Mirrored Stance and Tengu's Mimicry. The new enchantment uses the original caster's attributes. This is not always beneficial; e.g. Illusion of Weakness. Is it OP? It does give the Dervish access to target-self-only enchantments from other professions, but if you cut out elite and maintained, what's left over doesn't look tooooo bad.

Hailstorm - Elementalist - Water Magic (Elite)
Energy: 10
Casting Time: 2 seconds
Recharge: 20 seconds
Elite Spell: Create a Hailstorm at target foe's location. Each second for 5 seconds, foes in the area of this spell take 8...36...42 cold damage each second and are blinded for 3 seconds.


Ward of Dark Magic - Elementalist - Energy Storage
Energy: 15
Casting Time: 2 seconds
Recharge: 30 seconds
Elite Ward Spell: For 1...8...10 seconds, foes in this ward cannot cast spells and lose 1 enchantment every 2 seconds.



Dwayna's Favor - Monk - Divine Favor
Energy: 10
Casting Time: 1 second
Recharge: 20 seconds
Elite Enchantment Spell: For 1...8...10 seconds, target other ally has +2 health regeneration for every enchantment on them. When this enchantment ends, you gain 2 energy for every Monk enchantment on target ally. (50% failure if Divine Favor 5 or less)

This would be an interesting energy management skill for builds without Divine Favor. The regeneration could easily be reproduced with cheap, non-elite healing spells, so that's not noteworthy. If you have 0 points in Divine Favor, though, you get the energy back in 1 second. For high Divine Favor, the energy gain actually occurs later; a longer wait means more variability, more vulnerability, the possibility of enchantment loss, etc. The high Divine Favor caster might actually be worse off.

Is there any way to penalize the energy gain for low DF?

Thank you for that Sir, i hadnt noticed the possible gain for non-Monks. I believe i fixed it, also allowed it to have shorter duration to accommodate the energy gain.

Feedback is always appreciated

These are suggestions I've heard from friends and people around Guild Wars about the skills many consider to be overpowered or whatever, these are NOT MY IDEAS I just thought I would post them here for laughs, since some of them are crazy.

Destructive Was Glaive
5 Energy
3/4 Cast
5 Recharge

Same functionality, but add "You are Exhausted" at the end.
(Told you some ideas were stupid)

Shadow Form
5 Energy
1 Second Cast
30 Recharge

Duration the same. All attacks against you miss and all hostile spells against you fail. Ends after 2 attacks or spells per rank in Shadow Arts

This one isn't bad I don't think, you are invulnerable at least until enough spells and attacks target you. Still usable, since you ARE tanking, but the more you have around you the faster it expires.

Obsidian Flesh
25 Energy
1 Second Cast
30 Recharge

Same functionality, but at the end put this skill is disabled for 45 seconds. This eliminates any possible way of reducing recharge, similar to the Mysticism Avatars.

Save Yourselves
8 Adrenaline

For 5 seconds, you have +6 health regeneration and +3...10 armor for each ally in earshot.

This one is all right, to me the skill Save Yourselves sounds like the user is being selfish, so I guess I can see how the person came up with this.


Again, these are NOT MINE, I just took a collection of a few of the popular skills people discuss and I threw them on here, if someone wants credit because I put your idea on here I will edit this right away

Blinding Light - Monk - Smiting Prayers
Energy: 5 Casting Time: 1 second Recharge Time: 15 seconds
Elite Spell. Target foe and foes adjacent to your target are struck with Blinding Light and become Blinded for 3...13...15 seconds. Foes already Blinded will be knocked down and begin Burning for 1...6...7 seconds.

Energy: 5 Recharge Time: 30 seconds
Elite Shout. For 5...7...10 seconds, you deal 5% more damage and -1 damage reduction for each dead party member. This lasts 2 more seconds for each dead party member in earshot.

I would LOVE to see more traps implemented because the only use for the current ones are trapping Zaishen Elite, its a shame because I really enjoy trapping

I've been reading through this thread for about an hour now and I've come to one conclusion, Morphy this is not a come a critique likes it's going to be introduced in game please just go away your being counterproductive.

That was a while ago, wasn't it? Anyways,

Strangle - Ranger - Expertise
15 energy cost
3 second cast
25 second recharge

Elite Touch Skill. For 3 seconds, target foe moves 66% slower. End effect: Target foe is knocked down, takes 10...80...10 piercing damage, and bleeds for 3...10...12 seconds.

Webs of Torture - Necromancer - Blood Magic

Elite Hex Spell. For 10 seconds, target and nearby foes suffer -3...7...8 health degeneration and move 66% slower. Hexes you cast on these foes cast and recharge 33...44...50% faster. All your non-hex skills are disabled for 5 seconds.

Rejuvenate - Paragon - Motivation

5 adrenaline
4 second recharge

Elite Skill. For 5 seconds, you and allies in the area have +2...4...5 health regeneration and +1...3...3 energy regeneration.

3 second cast time!? Sure its a good snare but 3 second touch skill? if your snaring a warrior or sin, youd be dead in 3 seconds 0_0


Good skill but i feel needs at least a 1 second cast time, reduce the health degen and/or remove the snare. Otherwise you could snare foes in a MS or SF Spike. I like hexes cast and recharge though

umm.... OP with the energy regeneration. (fyi, The Power is Yours! gives +1 energy regen for 3 seconds.) Remove the energy regen and its a viable skill

Monk - Healing Prayers
"Koneko!" (Elite) (I'm seriously bad at names for skills alright...)
Energy: 5
Blood: 10%
Recharge: 30 Seconds
Selected ally is healed for 10..20..50% health and 1...10...100% energy. This skill cannot selftarget. And fails unless you have 13 Healing Prayers.

Lol this skill would own D:

Compared to other suggestions, even on this page... no, i better won't comment.


OP. Non-ele. Would suit to be necro's well or mesmer's mantra with 'in the area' range.
The free-energy problem hasn't been fully solved. 90% failure and 7+ DF would be better.
Add 'if that ally uses a skill or hits with attack'. Seriously, 6s invincibility with great regen? Critscythe sin paradise.
Chaos isn't anyhow connected to earth magic. Chaos is mesmer's attribute. The skill itself is quite fun, but would work as mesmer's mantra with 'in the area' range and energy/health lost on chaos damage.
Move to Mysticism, change name - would aid dervishes rather than crit sins or str wars.
No recharge, 4 strikes of adrenaline, command line, ~8s duration...
A perfectly maintainable 33% IAS for the whole party?
Move to motivation, add recharge (6s? 10s? or 4s + increased adrenaline cost).
'Symbolic' is wording connected with signets. Make it a signet or change name.
Too cheap and cast too fast for the AoE damage and effect. Would be overused for farming only. 1-2s cast time, 10-15e cost.


I'm actually all in for adding exhaustion on it - or giving it higher cost / longer recharge, at least. Would kill Glaiveway without big changes to other skills.
SF is still too powerful. The hit/spells condition might be added to the already existing version. Also 5e cost, wtf?
So, kill Ele's tanking and make sins much better than they already are?
OF is actually quite balanced for its purposes right now, no need to really hammer it down more.
Maybe it's the language barrier, but yourselves indicates that the user is selfless, like 'save yourselves, i'll stop them!'. Something like Gandalf on the bridge of Khazad-Dum, if you still don't get the idea.

Nice one, though would require split for PvP - 20s recharge, 10-15e cost, maybe even 2s cast. Or maybe 'adjacent to you' instead of 'target foe and foes adjacent to it'.
Even for PvE it might be a bit too much.
Perma caster hate that completely disables your target?
Too much for PvP. Fun for PvE, would encourage people to actually run interrupts.

Make it non-AoE in the first place.
1s cast, 20 recharge, -2...4...6 degen, 33% slower movement. 10e cost for PvP.

Now that'd be nice, no idea why a skill like that never got into the game.

Please keep in mind that this thread is only going to remain open (or at least inside Sardelac) as long as the mindset remains that these skills suggestions would be productive when introduced to the game. The mindset that these suggestions are "for the fun of it" does not belong here.

This sounds exactly like he is saying it, saying "Save yourselves, I'll stop them!" still should mean something like he is going to buff himself and stop the enemies for his party. I don't know maybe we are just interpreting the skill differently.

Keep the suggestions coming!

The vast majority of the people creating skills do not understand the boundries and limitations of professions.

Rangers should not remove enchantments with their ranger skills.

Necromancers should not snare.

Necros should not cause burning.

Monks should not gain excessive energy management.

Mesmer:
Attribute: Unlinked
Cost:25 energy
cast time:3 seconds
Recharge: 35 seconds

-Insert Name here-(Hexidemic perhaps?)
Description: Hexes on target foe spread to all adjacent foes with their remaining durations +15%

My necro's dream come true....

New skills should wait for gw2 for the most part but I would really like to see some of the still pitiful outdated elites given a face lift. A good example would be shatterstorm. Why on earth would this ever be an elite when there are skills like expunge enchantments, well of the profane etc. that do the job without penalty and are more effective? Mesmers have better enchantment removals that are not elite.

As an ele I would also like to see Air return to it's original majesty with lightning surge as an aoe knockdown again, I'd like to see ice generally snare at least with maybe another utility enchantment that causes all ice damage to also slow. Energy management to some degree and casting times to a greater degree make earth very difficult to play. I'd like to see changes that make playing elements other than fire and to a lesser degree air, more practicle.

I know it's a tough balance and both ice and earth get too strong very fast.
