Symbolic Burst Skills concept. [Monk Spec]

[DanAlcedo.3281]

Warrior does not have a Healing Weapon and even if we got one with Monk, its questionable if that is enough. So why not turn all Bursts into a Support Variant?

Here is my concept.

 

Symbolic Bursts (Playholder Name)

• Burst work exactly like Core Bursts when it comes to Adrenalin. 3 Tiers based on it. ( I would only change the way its gathered in for a Monk spec)
• The Symbolic Burst have two parts to them. The Upfront effect and a Symbol (like Guardian) that they leave behind.
• Size/Duration of the Symbol and the Upfront effects effectivness is based on the Adrenalin used.
• All Symbols puls damage every second but on the lower scale. ( Tagging is very much needed in wvw 😗)

Examples

Greatsword Burst:

• Shoot out a 900 Range narrow coneshaped Wave that Heals people based on the health on the Ally. The lower the health the higher the healing.
• Leaves behind a cone shaped Symbol that pulses Fury and Might.

Hammer Burst:

• Give Allies Stability, Protection and Aegis in a round Aoe in the landing Area.
• Leaves behind a Symbol that pulses Healing and Resistance.

Sword Burst:

• Channeled Ability( Not rooted). The Warrior raises his Sword above his head pulsing Healing , Regeneration, Swiftness and Vigor.
• Leaves behind a Symbol that Cleases Conditions and pulses Healing.

 

Adrenalin Gain

Maybe let the Monk gain Adrenalin by Healing and Boons. This way a Warrior doesnt need to be 100% in Melee Range to get the Adrenalin he needs.

Or something like that.

Faith is too bleh.

Or just Wrath. But what if my Faith was in Balthazar?

Angry prayers go Brrrr.

That fits perfectly with Monk then, since both Protection Prayers and Smiting Prayers in GW1 are Balthazar prayers.

Can’t have faith in Balthazar. He was weak, I killed him. Better call that resource Hubris ‘cause I am God now.

WAS, Operative word there mate.

I believe the other Five raised another to take Balthazar's place though. We'll see when GW2 Return of the Gods: Dwayna is Livid is released.

x4 damage for them.

[Vinny.7260]

I really like this concept as well, WRATH is the go-to for their build-up bar though 100%.

Balthazar play with Monk is sick, as people mentioned above. Symbols are a neat choice to spread to another profession.

 

Honestly, I want to see Warrior's Cunning also count Shroud as Barrier for sake of damage mods. Maybe even bring it back from 10% to like 15-20%? Obviously this is with the idea that Bladesworn gets an attitude adjustment but would be fun for the fabtabulous Gunflame memes!
