I had an idea for interesting new skills that could allow Arena.net to make some interesting builds. Have skills that use two attributes instead of one. These should all be in-class skills like a set for necromancers, warriors, rangers, etc. They would work just like normal skills except that they would rely on two attributes instead of one to determine their effectiveness.
A quick example using the necromancer, have a dual attribute skill that relies on death magic and blood magic to create a minion with an extra modifier.
Summon Blood Horror
Exploit nearest corpse to animate a level 1-14(Death Magic) Blood Horror. Blood Horrors steals 1-4(Blood Magic) life on striking.
This is just an example of a skill using dual attributes so don't flame me for adding in some unbalancing idea for a skill. Also i am wondering on what everyone else thinks of this idea.
New Idea for Expansion Skills

They have skills that go to more than one skill, a lot of the ranger skills get better with more expertise even when not in the expertise tree, and lots of the monk ones go to divine favor the same way. I know that these aren't what you mean.
But that is a good idea you have.

Heck, while you're at it, how about skills that require a primary and a secondary attribute? Some type of disrupting shot for a ranger, for example, that also requires illusion magic for a bonus energy steal?
They could go crazy with this if they wanted, and still keep reasonable balance.

I would like the idea of dual skills for all the combinations of classes except that would be 21 sets of dual skills counting dual skill combos like R & R and W & W dual skills. This is also assuming a character like a R/W has the same set of dual skills as a W/R(if not it is 36 sets of dual skills). So that is why I thought in class only would be the best since it meant adding in 6 sets of dual skills removing the hassle of coming up with a combo for every set of classes.

People that "know" me know that I like to have some good old fun online.
This why I have suggested in our little circle of friends a skill/spell/condition called NAPS or SLEEP. Where you fire off this at lets say a Warrior...he stops moving and you see "Zzzzzzz's" in a bubble above his head then he falls down totally asleep. You can have an Anti-Spell/Condition for this as well.
I just thought this would be quite funny to watch. Well annoying if it happen to you...of course
