foreword: PLEASE no kitten-and-popcorn mode; These are ELITE SKILLS. They’re supposed to be somewhat overpowered. also, due to the MASSIVE ammount of east-asia cultural influences on these ideas, great idea for the over-hyped and probably-never-happening return of Cantha.

Suggested Elite Skills; based on some ideas by me and some friends. CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is appreciated.

Warrior: Summon Bushido Spirit: Summons an NPC similar to Thieves Guild or Phantasmal Duelist and dressed in Shadow Assassin outfit. NPC wields a single-hand sword with no offhand weapon. Persists for thirty seconds, with a 140-second cooldown.

Thief: Kamaitachi: Requires stealth. range 1200. deals 5000-10000 damage and inflicts 10 stacks of bleed. 600-second cooldown. Impossible to Crit.

Mesmer: Phantasmal Thorns: AoE 1500. grants 5 stacks of a special condition, Thorn Hostage, that immobilizes. hits to the affected remove a stack of Thorn Hostage and deal 1000 extra damage. inspired by Log Horizon.

Further suggestions for classes i left out appreciated!

Edit: Reduced the damage of Kamaitachi and made it impossible to Crit with, so it’s less “ridiculous” as Yelloweyedemon so helpfully pointed out; and redesigned Phantasmal Thorns.

The thief one is ridiculous. Crits should hit for what? 20k? … sure…
