A Skill Suggestion

Umm this is something we need very very much. A skill that is an AoE that when cast an energy bubble appears around the caster and starts to get larger and larger and builds up in thickness and....BIIIIG BAAANG!!!! It explodes dealing So massive damage if someone has 500 HP they would be down to 250 or so. Because We need a class that can AoE as a profession. Or at least i would...

Elementalists have alot of AOE spells, especially spells related in the domains of Fire Magic and Earth Magic.

I know that...I have an Ele but I mean we need more BOLTS like Energy Balls not just stupid Ele Magic. Its dumb cuz all u do is command the Elements like Earth and Fire but what about Void Magic? What about the guy who knows Dark Possess magic? None of that is ever gonna exist eh?

You seem to not understand what Elemental Magic is. Simply put, it's control over the 4 elements... last I checked "Dark" and "Void" weren't elements.

You suggestions would be better suited to Mesmers or Necros... or possibly a new class entirely.

Also, having "a huge bubble that explodes and takes 1/2 of someones HP" would be incredibly over powered...

Evlesoa, if you are going to make suggestions, you should try make them because they really need to be implemented in the game somewhere... not just because "it would be cool." That is often a very poor reason to make a change in the game.

No but as far as i know skills in GW r weak. Many are Underpowered and A skill that takes out half of someones life should be an elite skill that a New Class or Necro Class uses.

Umm.. again... you obviously miss the point!

That would be HUGELY overpowered! The idea is to bring a COMBINATION of skills to bring another player down... not just one "UBER L33T" speel that can do it in a couple hits.

Sounds to me like you are having a bit of trouble taking down a certain class and you want ONE skill to compensate for it. ANet won't do it, because they know better.

Well then Anet should come up witha skill like this 1

n00bz 007
Mana: 0
Casting Time: 1 NanoSecond
Recasting: 1 NanoSecond
Effect: Enter the world of n00bz 007! A slimy bad ass n00b jumps out of no where and starts Summoning Little Ugly Toilets to beat on you and give you swirlllliiiiiies!

Evlesoa,

Could you do me/us a favor and come back in a few years when you have aged a little bit further?

Maybe if your class had a maximum of ten health or something but otherwise... you have the reasoning ability of a snail on steroids.

Out of the mouths of babes...

You've hit it pretty much on the nose. It seems that the most immature of your age group almost always screw it up for the rest of you. You're honestly better off not telling people your age, acting more mature, then letting people find out later. This happened in my guild. We have a guy who was a great gamer, acted very mature, then we found out he was 15. We were shocked but never batted an eye at his age. He only ended up leaving because his parents would pay for the game we were playing anymore.

Uhhhhhhm who is the rude 1 here i think u. U rly get al young good players in trouble.
If its a kid game why cant u make it on ur own instead of buying it in stores when its made by mature ppl. I think because gaming is 4 al ages.
No im not an old bastard im just 17 but still i have most respect evry player no matter age. But u give us young MMORPG players a bad name.

Acually I work 40 Hours a week. Or used to. I quit my job when i moved. IM NOT TRYING TO BE RUDE!!! Get that through ur thick head...Im just saying sumtimes i act like im 5 but every1 does 1nce in a while. Im just saying That this game is for everyone but people should be nice. A n00b starts playing and sum older guy whos level 20 comes up to him and says he sux. Thats not polite. Thats disrespectful towards your self and him. Your lowering your self because of sum stupid kid. Just ignore them. I know its hard but i get through it. Dont take me sereiously but i just want to make friends. The fact that I get stripped almost every day and Polled by other people where they take a pole and swing you and then hit your Croch against the pole. Ive been picked by Americans the second day I came to USA. Im not going to say they are all bad But my WHOLE FU**ED up life includes people bossing me around. And the fact that Im affraid of them. They are big and Im small. Im skinny and Im 80 Pounds and Im 14. It gets me so frightened I cry. I Dont want you thinking of me as a punk because Really I think of others as punks. Im affraid of Humanity but no one understands except my pittyful Girl Friend! Ive plead for mercy many times when people strip me. But they dont GIVE A SHIT! They hardcore mother Suckers. Excuse my Language. This trully frightens me. As i am weak and only way I can be strong is if I believe. Only way to believe is to Experience it through a game. Stand Up and Fight. But ive broken a bone when a 40 Pound bench fell on my foot 1 foot above ground. Ive broken 7 bones or more. Please have mercy!!! Im not a bad kid!!! :..(

What we don't need is more caster classes, haha. Maybe a summoner with a focus on summoning.
Anyways, I think people should learn to use real grammar and whatnot, since these posts are getting unbearable to read.

And it seems you act like a kid more than once in a while....

Also, it appears that you haven't played much of the Elm side, since there are a TON of AoE spells.

BIG TIME WRONG! Most of the people in my guild before we joined Guild Wars was 30 or close to it...

I play games that are enjoyable to me... I don't care what age group people THINK those games are for. Remember CHILD, my generation GREW UP on videos games... they came into the scene shortly after alot of us were born and we STILL play them to this day. Atari was the first "big thing" when I was a kid and everyone in my neighborhood wanted one or knew someone who had one.

So do YOU come here and talk shit to ANYONE on this board about what you think you know.

Now again... I ask the mods: Please close this train wreck of a thread.

Right...

If you don't can't take criticism, don't post. Don't post until you're mature enough to realize that some of these ideas are ridicilous and STOP POSTING THEM!

Ah, and if you don't want to get beaten up, do something about it. Work out, get the cops, etc.

And I reccomend a therapist. Assuming that isn't just a load of tripe.

Actually, the Elementalists are missing alot of elements.

There are Metal, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Holy, Unholy and Fear elements in Magic.

Cold is water, lightning is wind, smiting is holy, blood magic is unholy. Metal is earth, just solidified. Fear is not an element, it is an emotion.

Just because there isn't a damaging spell of X element doesn't mean that it isn't in the game. Think of Dungeons and Dragons: earth spells rarely (if ever) do earth damage; they do bludgeoning damage, acid damage, piercing damage. And it's pretty hard to damage someone with, oh, a gust of wind, or a wave.

I am gonna suggest a skill here too that's similar.


Name: Super Mega Power Nova Burst to the Max Extreme of the End of the World
Energy: None, it's a signet
Casting time: It's also a stance, so it's instantaneous
Recharge time: None, because everyone will die
Description: You blow up the whole world and leave a black void where only you exist. You eventually starve to death because all matter has been obliterated by this skill.

Yeah, I would assume most 8 year olds wouldn't know about things like this anyway. In the elements the basic ones in games are:

Fire, Earth, Wind, and Water. That's it, even in Wiccan, except they have a fifth one which is spirit (easily energy storage) since we can't have this class with over 7 attributes, it's narrowed down to the most basic 5 and works out well.

Sorry, there are only 4 elements and they are all in this game. And to the person who tried to use D & D as an example... don't. It's the except and not the rule.

Holy is suited to monks, Unholy belongs to Necros (kinda), Fear is a Mesmer thing and Metal comes from Earth which already belongs to ELs.
