How Did We Ever Manage Without "Restore Party" Skill?

I can't imagine what the game was like before this little skill, available to all classes:



Man, that must have been seriously ugly Pick-up-Grouping, with Rangers and Necromancers not being able to run kamikazee into everything in sight. Aw maaannn.... And you just knew that people dying had to have less to do with the fact that Aatxes can put on 250 damage in one hit, and more to do with the fact that there weren't enough monks in the party or that they weren't doing their jobs.

I'm sure there would have been a lot of failed first-runs, with everyone abandoning the group after the first attempt, once they'd figured out how to work together.

Btw, that Dwayna's Aura sucks, it's an enchantment, half the monsters carry enchantment removals. That skills needs to be SERIOUSLY upgraded, so it can't be removed. Pssssh Anet, you have to do better than that to impress someone!

Awesome job. Now if only we had a "Destroy Self" spell for Monks, so that the complainers could see what happens without us...oh wait, we have the quit button!

Warrior's Cunning: Sacrifice entire party. Deal 10% more damage and gain a 1337% stupidity boost.

Sacrifice 33% of maximum health of party, gain +10 energy regen. Hehe, something tells me you wouldn't be a very popular necromancer...

Heh, I think there's a hidden Warrior skill that every warrior, even secondaries, have, yet they don't talk about:

LEEROY JENKINS!

Description: Shout. For 239-999999 seconds, your speed increases by 66%, including foes around you. You go into automatic run, collecting all mobs within a 200-500m distance and directing yourself back to your party. Party then suffers from "Stupidity" condition for 239-999999 seconds (50% chance per individual party member, 90% chance for whole party). While under "Stupidity," party members cannot fight as a team.

Energy Cost: 5

Casting Time: -10 seconds

Recharge Time: 0 seconds

Skill Type: Aggro Attack

Linked Attribute: Tactics

Creston You're missing the point. The clue is in the skill name (Warrior's Cunning).

"Whiner!"

Shout. For the next 24 hours, party becomes a group of assholes who flame anyone who has a legitimate complaint, especially when it is put in the form of a joke. Effect is reinstated every time target enemy tries to justify his complaint with information and official quotes from trusted sources, including the official website of the game. While under "Whiner!", party members do not listen to reason, and pretend that Guild Wars was intended to be a regular, cliche MMO rather than a PvP oriented "Competitive" ORPG.

I don't want any new skills, I just want Taste of Death to be fixed. It has lots of bugs:

I cannot cast this on my pet.
I cannot cast this on my allies.
I cannot cast this on my allies' pets.

The description seems a bit long to fit in the text box. I propose a few revisions.

Quote:
"Whiner"

Shout: Target enemy begins to emit an annoying repetative whining sound and can only attack a single target. Each consecutive attack deals 7-17 damage less than the previous attack. When damage reaches zero, the weapon is destroyed and the whining sound ends. I appreciate your resolve to have your concerns adressed, but you seldom talk about anything else. Congrats on YET ANOTHER thread you have derailed with your fixation.

"Call your friends" - Shout - When "call your friends" is activated all your teammates get their friends (from their friend list) teleported to aid you in battle for 0.0000001-60 seconds. When "Call your friends" ends you and your teammates are banned from GW.

What about...

Spell: Balthazars STFU
Attribute: Protection Prayres
Type: Stance

For 60-120 seconds target other ally cannot use the words heal, noob, rank, teamspeak, elite, job, moron. If he does so, balthazars hand will come down and slap the poor moron uh... fellow around.


Spell: Energy Denial
Attribute: Tactics
Type: Enchantment

While you maintain this enchantment, you totally deny the existence of energy and expect your monks to do the same.


Seriously, the first spell would be uber... it would cut down guildwars communication by 98 % and thus make more room for bandwith.

I hope you got the joke. Anywway, here's another "joking" skill, 2 points if you know where I got it:

"Rip and Tear!"

Elite Shout. Lose all adrenaline to deal 15 points of damage to a single target. Target must have huge guts for this to work.

Adrenaline Cost: A lot.

Linked attribute: None.
