New PvP - All Out

I was going over all the great skills/spells available to each profession and started thinking that it would be great to be able to use more skills so that I could change my tactics mid battle, etc. I am quite possitive several people have thought this same thing as well.

My proposal is to have a "special" type of PvP arena/battle/etc. that gives you more slots for skills. I thought it would be nice to have the same 8 slots, but get 3 more bars that you could rotate through. Of course it would be nice to have "skill sets" like the weapon sets that are already in the game (I read that one somewhere else) so that you could easily switch between what you wanted before the match started. That would be a cool feature whether or not the new PvP arena was a reality.

Anyways, the way that it would probably be coolest is if you could join PvP battles just like you can now, but with the added option of it being "All Out" PvP.

It would not change anything else about the game. I think for the most part the skill limit is a great Idea. It encourages diversity. And if you think about it you would still be diverse with an "all out" kind of thing. 34 skills of 300+ is still a small amount of what is possible. And you wouldn't get any more attribute points so you couldn't make more skill trees stronger.

Well just a thought. It would probably make more people attracted to the game for one, and give the long timers something else to switch it up with. And the implimentation of such a thing would be almost painless Almost

/signed ONLY if there is a universal cooldown on bar switching in a battle

otherwise i think not...

Funny, I thought of the same thing while I was away from the comp earlier. hehe.

I think a cooldown apon switching or I thought maybe bring your energy and adrenalin to zero apon switching.

The first one just makes sense. And the second I thought might be a less dramatic penalty.

But either way would be essential.

I thought about how a warrior could stack up 4 bars worth of charged adrenalin skills and unload on people. And just using these skills would charge the ones he just used. hehe, endless ass kicking.

An uber monk of 3 skill bars.

Everyone would be the same. All would be "uber". Every class would be able to pull from a wider range of skills/spells, or use more of the same (eg. offensive, defensive, condition, etc.).

And since you aren't getting any more Attribute points it's not like you can max out all your skills or anything.

Just sounds like fun to me. As an option anyways, not the standard.

Sounds interesting and since its a special arena only sounds good to me.
