Guild Wars 2

This is a “post ’em here” thread. What are you posting? Your ideas for better effects on certain skills. Which ones do you think could be made to look more appealing, more powerful, etc. Yeah, these will all be small suggestions, but It’ll be neat to see what people come up with.

I’ll start with Life Siphoning. I never liked the way it looked. It’s like a bunch ham is floating towards your character. It just doesn’t represent lifestealing very well. More like gorging on meat. I always thought Life Siphon skills should have a red, wispy effect. Not necessarily blood but very close.

This goes also for Life Force on necro’s. When something dies a little green glob drifts over to my character, like I’m collecting ectoplasm or something. I’d say the same effect should be used as the one I suggested for Life Siphon for Life Transfer and Life Force gain, but green in color.

The mesmer Mimic ability resembles shield stance, but I think a neater effect was if they actually added a highly reflective circle that actually resembled a mirror that the character is hiding behind. Maybe with a portal-esce back.
