Come up with the most hilarious elite spec concept possible

[Duke Blackrose.4981]

How about a fun forum game/joke thread. Share your ideas for absurd and ridiculous elite specs.

 

I'll start with the Prankster, which is a Warhorn thief. It stealthily sneaks up on its foes, and then loudly startles them with the Warhorn, inflicting huge Daze and damage on them in exchange for lengthened Revealed on itself.

Windbreaker. An elementalist that breaks...wind. Uses a shield to 'catch' the 'wind' and then proceeds to waft it at the enemy. Does poison damage somehow. Combos great with fire fields. 

 

Bouncer. Guardian spec that bars people from entering nightclubs. Can only be played in cities at night. Off hand mace to slap drunk people with in an off-handed fashion. 

 

Stormtrooper. Mesmer spec, the clones always miss. Rifle weapon. 

 

Fumbler. Warrior spec, uses all the weapons, simultaneously. Fumbles a lot. Emphasis on self debuffing by way of dropping heavy arms on their toes constantly. -30% movement speed. Can arm the whole squad though. 

 

Mugger. Thief. Mugs people in dark alleys, steal now gives useless trinkets such as wooden dolls and grandma's heirloom necklace which can be hurled at the enemy causing confusion. Uses a mace to intimidate people. 

 

Cesar Millan. Ranger. Ineffective idiot because they use dated information. Frequently gets bitten by their pets because of inadequate handling. Allergic to cats. Weapon: a leash. Uses shouts such as; "TSK!", "Good boy!" and "Aargh, I'm bit!"

 

Tell Sell Inventor. Engineer spec. Focused on selling you useless utilities they invented themselves for 80% off, limited time only! Uses warhorn to really get that message across. 

 

Vivomancer. Necro. Celebrates life, constantly. Shoots ribboned arrows with a shortbow to raise...your spirits.

 

Rickroller. Revenant. Uses a focus (mic). They are never gonna give you up.

Engineer elite spec: delver

Weapon: dagger MH+OH

Utility skill type: traps

 

Engineers have finally mastered all of the technological secrets of the dredge, which allows them to submerge into the ground for prolonged times. While they are underground, they are invisible and invulnerable. Able to place traps while under the ground as well.

However, they also mastered the blindness of the dredge, which is represented by your entire screen being pitch black.

Guardian: Sadist - > Aegis procs dmg inflicted to self before the enemy can even strike you. Stunbreaks CC you and enemy dmg heals you. You effectively cannot fight as all your skills deal dmg to you despite liking the pain. But you can absorb any enemy dmg. 

 

Warrior: Psycho - > You wield your weapons randomly hoping to deal dmg while hitting yourself all the time. Constant 30 adrenaline count even after spending it on a T3 burst. 

 

Revenant: Bloodstone dust addict - > Crazed by Bloodstone dust, this Rev emmits sparks of red lightning around them. Unfortunately their energy levels exceeds 100 and as such need to constantly use abilities to not reach energy lvl 100 or else they will enter downstate. Prolonged periods of time outside the Bloodstone related legend (Mursaat, White mantle etc) will cause fatigue. 

 

Thief: Afraid - > Constantly into stealth. Suffers from agoraphobia. Cannot attack people, loses stealth. Cannot be revealed. Only roams around people while in stealth and occasionally whispers things to them. 

 

Engineer: Mad scientist - > What happened to Kudu in Crucible of Eternity. 

 

Ranger: Neet - > Actually doesn't like pets and nature. Prefers to stay at home. They are found inside towers, keeps and spawn points. 

 

Necro: Awakened - > Joko's puppet selling toys and Merch at big celebrations

 

Mesmer: Trickster - > Can pull birds out of their hat, make flowers appear and release a horde of bunnies after their enemies. 

 

Elementalist: Firefighter - > Uses their powers of fire to put forest fires and their powers of water to put them out. Lose access to earth and air attunements. Equipped with water pistols.

[HnRkLnXqZ.1870]

Dual Mace Thief Elite Specialization

- Weapon is a Knuckleduster, exotic is only the hilt, ascended has a few spikes attached.

- Weaponskills are punches and kicks

- Heal skill = Channeling HP and stacking might in pulses, each pulse can block 1 attack, final pulse grants barrier and doubles current might-stacks

- Utility 1 = shadowstep to the enemy, interrupt and fear with a 3 second window to shadowstep back, ammo skill with 2 charges and 5 seconds cooldown

- Utility 2 = Fireball shot from both hands that causes burning, ammo skill with up to 3 charges and 10 seconds cooldown

- Utility 3 = Punch on the ground, causing fire to blast upwards, launch, stun, massive aoe-damage + 3 burn-stacks per target hit, 10 target attack

- Utility 4 = Hurricane Kick, like Dancing Daggers but deals CC instead of shooting projectiles

- Elite = Raging Demon, massive single target damage. Multiple hit combo. If first hit landed, others cannot be blocked or dodged. Target is unable to gain barrier for 10 seconds, in addition it has revealed, crippled and weakness debuff for 10 seconds as well. When executed on 25 might and < 10 % health (self), all damage-reduction of the target is ignored. If Raging Demon kills the target, you are healed for half your max HP.

They loose the ability to equip any weapons in favor of having conjured versions of all the weapons in game.

Water conjures: Shortbow, Scepter, Staff, trident

Air Conjures: hammer, longbow, warhorn, sword, Harpoon

Earth Conjures: Shield, Focus, mace, Spear, rifle

[Tails.9372]

Thief gets scepter but that's ultimately just being used for various "magical girl" transformations. 5 in total which appear as differently colored astral bodies (reminiscent to astral beings like the second boss in the Shattered Observatory but with the shape of your typical magical girl) all with a different gameplay focus.

[Mik.3401]

Power Mesmer attacking with slow projectiles at 1200 range with no sustain

[Hotride.2187]

Guardian elite spec:

 

You carry a scourge on your back, the 2 of you count as 1 player. The guardian decides where you go, but otherwise the scourge is free to play as they wish.

 

You are also a firebrand.

Redshirt: Pistol mainhand. All enemy attacks that would otherwise strike allies within a certain radius of the redshirt strike the redshirt instead. When the redshirt is downed or defeated, allies within that radius receive boons.

And the rifle is a condition weapon and the elite specialisation is oriented towards conditions in general, similar to how berserker is the Warrior type least likely to actually use berserker stats.
