Heightened state of mind.

P/W

This class has 2 secondary attributes which only work if your gaining fuel from absorbed hexes and conditions? and that can only be done with the primary?

Seems like 3 attributes which can only be used when this class is primary, which is obviously unbalanced for use as a secondary choice. Please explain.

I had an idea for a melee class that used adrenaline skills to absorb damage in the area around him, serving as an Area Defense unit, different kind of "absorber", but mildly simular. There is alot to this idea that realy isn't detailed, and a caster based hex/condition defender seems a bit narrow, need a diversity of skills rather than an overly dependant narrow build.

Anets not going to make a class thats completely divoted to taking damage and living.

The tank already does this.

Where are the attacks? All this does is heal its self?

Don't be discourage, Pillz.
I think its a good idea, very inspirational. Might not work well as a class, but would certainly be a good line or attribute of skills for another. (which I might steal for my Mimic) Be sure to give it more detail next time.

yeah, its a good idea just wouldn't work in guild wars. Warriors already kinda serve this purpose. Maybe if you had only 2 attributes devoted to healing and keeping yourself alive it would work. It just needs attacks. It just wouldn't work for soloing.

Keep posting your ideas!
