.....wow..... >_<
I haven't laughed that hard in a good long while.... many thanks!
Thoughts: Seems a little overpowered. Mesmers would be put out of business.
Suggestions: Change the name to 'Charmer', or something similar, maybe?
Thoughts pt II: Stereotypical Wammos/Male-played Female Eles (the kind that only dance in pre) seem to be the failing prototypes of this.
Also:
"Get Away from my Man!"- Add in, potentially, a dazing effect on all but one male, made entirely at random. If there's three guys in a party, one of which is me, and the only female there decides to scream that, I'm sure as heck going to be confused.

Hillarious!

I would suggest that a better name other than "Gender Bender" be used though.

Good one, mate.
Keep those creative juices flowing.
Cheers.

Can't really think up a different name that has the same zing as Gender Bender. Suggestions on that would be nice.

Funny

ummm i really dont know what to say.................wow.......................and sad.

Reminds me of a Mesmer for some reason, funny though.

that is just awesome ^^;;

wow i was thinking about making my own class but after reading this i just dont think my creativeness could even compare....lol.....

I Must Play This Class

I just laughed so hard I cried....But you'll have to come up with a name other then Gender Bender....

Regardless, VERY interesting class.

> All

LOL, battle of the sexes. One of the most creative (and hilarious) classes I've ever seen. Saddest part is, I think it would actually work! Could bring a lot of fun into GW, even moreso than Mesmers.

I vote yes on this class!

Changed name to "Gender Mage." May sound wierd but I dunno. ANY name suggestions would be helpful lol.

One skill I was gonna give to Masculinity I was gonna call "I Can't Beleive It's Not XXXXXX." Couldn't plug a GW word into the XXXXXX. Butter just doesn't work for GW lol.

Oibaf = ?
Spelling things backwards is fun!

When I first read the title I thought it would be about something different...

o wow that is classic...ahahaha. You have a very active imagination, although I just cannot see this being implemented as an actual class in GW.

:edit: O by the way, Murder in China what happened to all your posts!!! Town Dweller?!!

umm...wtf? lmao...I laught irl reading this

ROFLMAO!!! You ARE kidding right?

hehe, dont forget LoveTap....where she/he whacks someone in the friendlies group to give them a boost....
*yes, i ahve played too much ffx-2 lately, but im countering that with fistfull of boomsticks hehe*

as soon as i read this, i tought of LeBlanc...
*smack...'stop your slacking and get to Work!'* hehe

Signet of Puppy Dog Eyes {E}

You receive +1 energy regen for every allied player of the opposite gender in the area, for (3...10) seconds.

Brilliant, nice one

That made me chuckle so hard!!! That's fantabulous

ROFL! I needed that laugh. Cheers

Very creative.

Here's one:

{Masculinity}{Elite}Ugly And You Know It
5 energy, 20 sec recharge, 1/4 sec casting time
Hex Spell. If target foe is female, that foe takes 5...10 cold damage every second for 4...9 seconds, and cannot attack any of your female allies for this duration. This effect ends if an enchantment is cast on that foe by a female ally.

I can think of a few more skills, but they may not be appropriate to post here.

Good stuff .... LMAO

Btw I'm going to sign for this profession because it's just funny. /sign

Way unbalanced for pve. How are we supposed to know if that rockshot devourer is male or female?

lmao.

{Femininity} "Does my butt look fat in these pants?"
5 Energy - 30 Sec recharge
Shout. All hostile male targets in the area take 30...80 Brain Damage and you are knocked down for 4...1 seconds.

{Femininity} Iron.
15 Energy - 30 second recharge - 2 second cast
Enchantment spell. For 5...25 seconds target ally gains +10...40 armor.

{Femininity} {E} Gossip.
15 Energy - 30 second recharge - 1/4 second cast
Skill. Target female foe takes 1...4 damage for each point of AL.

{Masculinity} Fart.
10 Energy - 20 second recharge - 1/4 second cast
Skill. All nearby foes are poisoned for 10...25 seconds.

{Masculinity} "Get me a beer!"
10 Energy - 30 second recharge
Shout. Target female ally gains +33% movingspeed for 5...15 seconds.

Just thought up those quickly

Why not change the games name to Bed Wars ?

Just in case you are not kidding:

This class is not possible because of one of ANets concept of the game wich would be: "the look or the gender of a character has no influence to gameplay"

Thats hilarious

The thread name made me think wtf?!

I for 1 would like to find out that the Lich is infact a woman.

(Masculinity) *shout* Pub Crawl (E)

All male allies in the area gain 33% movement speed, 33% fast attack speed but fall over every 3-10seconds for 30 seconds.

Quite good, quite good. Or rather, sheer brilliance.

I would definately make one of those...

Actually, I'd have to make two, wouldn't I, If I wanted the full class experience... Weird.

You have too much time on your hands. Way too much time on your hands.

Haha, creative. I had a good laugh reading about it.

HAHAHAHA! *Wipes eyes*

I want to see the animations for these skills!

Actually yes and no.

If I have the idea and the basic idea of what I want the class to do, I can organize everyhting in about 30 minutes.

Now that's 30 minutes I could be spending playing GW but sometimes you jsut got to take a break ya know? lol.

You had enough to read it. How does that stack up?

Mate, you got a good point there.
I believe this profession will never work out properly in PvE, but in PvP, I think it will be hillarious!
Perhaps ANET can make this profession available to play only as a PvP character during valentine day?

Cheers.

Original i MUST SAY.

Like a mesmer is to casters, a necro to warriors, a ranger to eles, a male to female. BUT since theres so many guys and not very many girls (like not 45 year old rapists)

Charisma [E] "Genderstorm"
10e, 2c, 45r. Hex Spell
For 5-17 seconds, target foe is transformed into a member of the opposite sex. Their skills, weapons and equpment remain the same. Their armor converts to their profession's opposte-gender equivalent.

Come on, got to have the obligatory sex-change spell XP. God, I'd play one of these just to Genderstorm all day.

Added two new skills under the Charisma line.

what the RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO... lol u nearly killed me man, almost choked while reading that lmfao thumbs up
