Share your skill ideas

Disclaimer: this thread is purely for fun.

Did you ever make up a skill in your head that you thought would be really fun ingame? Share it, for the entertainment of fellow players and for giving ideas to developers.

Make sure to adress:-What the skill does;-What type of skill it is;-Which profession you'd give it to.

Don't bother with balance, although godly, or over-the-top broken skills are not fun. Don't bother whether the skill can actually be implemented, either.

Here's a starter.This is an elite skill for engineer:Backpack: Upon using this skill, you are given the option to pick one of the engineer utility skills through kit-like menus on your weapon bar. The one you pick replaces backpack for one use; after it is used, the elite skill goes on the cd of the picked skill +20 second cooldown, and becomes backpack again upon recharging. If the picked skill was a kit, the current longest cooldown on it is used for the calculation.

Essentially it's a non-ooc utility swap with a cd drawback.

Share away!~

That would be an amazing staff warrior utility with a dash to target animation, if stability is removed an extra aoe KD is casted arround the warrior.Instead of physical could be meditation base...

Just imagine...._. Heavy armored battle mage.

Or maybe a whole set of bare handed skills like Punch, Slap, Kick in the Shin, Leap and Punch, and on no. 5 would be Roundhouse Kick because you just need that :)

It might be a basic "two-handed weapon" available to every class. It really sucks when a dragon-slaying kicker of godly kittens can't do a thing without a weapon.

[Dadnir.5038]

Necromancer, skill category: Parasites (work more or less like mantra)

• Blood worms: Summon blood worms into your body, inflicting selfbleed (8s) every 5 seconds. Gain 2 blood flies swarm charges.
• -> Blood flies swarm: Breath out a swarm of flies that will inflict bleed (4s) every seconds onto it's target. Last 10 seconds.

[Shroud.2307]

Necromancer

[ Well of Souls ]"Well. Conjure a powerful Well that kills foes outright when it ends. Life Force will be returned equivalent to health lost by any killed by the Well."

• Number of Targets: 5
• Duration: 8 seconds
• Radius: 240
• Range: 900
• Cast time: 1 second
• Recharge 100 seconds

( Secondary description: Well pulses for 8 seconds dealing no damage and applying no conditions. When the duration ends, anything remaining inside the Well will be killed outright, no downed state. If a foe loses 100% of it's health, let's say that health is 17k, 17k Life Force will be returned. )

[ Spectral Renewal ]"Spectral. Refresh your Shroud and automatically enter it. For the duration of the effect, damage received while in Shroud will convert to health. If Shroud depletes completely while the effect is active, damage will convert to Life Force."

• Shroud cooldown reduced: 100%
• Damage converted to health or Life Force: 100%
• Duration: 4 seconds
• Cast time: 1 1/4 second
• Cooldown: 30 seconds

( Secondary description: As soon as the skill has been fully cast, Shroud will automatically be entered regardless of other attempted skill usage. Like the Herald's "Infuse Light", all incoming damage while in Shroud and while the effect is active will convert to health. If knocked out of Shroud, or if there was no Shroud to enter when the skill was cast, all incoming damage will instead convert to Life Force. Shroud cooldown will still be 100% reduced if there was no Shroud to enter. )
