Guild Wars 2

A charge skill is when you hold down the button to use it. Hold the button down for one sec and it’ll do mediocre effect. Hold it down for five secs and it’ll do immense effect.

Simply, it’s just a skill with a cast time you control. The longer the cast time is, the stronger the skill is. If you ask me it would be really neat in GW2 but maybe useless in melee PVP since the enemy could easily dodge if you want a long charge.

I’m not sure if some of the current skills should be changed into chargeable skills or new utility charge skills should be created. Whatever it turns out to be (if it ever becomes real which it probably won’t) I think it would be cool.

Feel free to tell me what you think!

I think this was planned for some skills but was scrapped for some reason. I remember reading a description of Churning Earth where it worked exactly as you stated.

Would really love to see this type of skill come back as the skill mechanics in GW2 are pretty limited ( no skillshots, for example ) and it would give combat a more action-y feeling.
