Post your ideas for new skills
Guardian: “Sanctify / desecrate”: Skill Slot. Sanctify creates an AOE pulse around the Guardian of bursts of white light. It lasts 10 seconds. Sanctify doubles the amount of boons you give and recieve (or their duration in the case of non-stacking buffs.). So if you cast a spell during sanctify that awards 5 stacks of might it would award 10. Any time during the spell’s duration you can hit the skill again to switch Sanctify to Desecrate. Desecrate causes a darker red light to pulse around you that doubles the conditions or durations you dish out.
Styx Hemlock – Sylvari Mesmer – TFG – NSP
New Guardian Skills:
Cursed Legacy – Target leaves a trail of poison wherever they go for a duration of time. This trail remains for a long period of time and harms both the target and his allies if stepped upon.
Misery – Target loses HP over a duration of time; intensifies the more boons and conditions they have.
Bane of Existence – Target becomes invisible to their allies and is unable to give and receive boons and heals.
Soul Envy – you hover towards your target with dark tentacles coming out of you and latching on your target to drain their health for a duration of time. If target does not break free of it in time, they become petrified for a short duration.
Call of the Reaper – Mark your target. The target dies instantly after a random duration of time if they do not have at least one boon up.
Sinful Living – Mark your target. For each boon that they receive during the duration of this mark, target loses X amount of HP when the mark ends.
Sanctify / Desecrate seems nice interchangeable skill :-)
few more,

i’v edited the name of the skill ineptitude, my bad haven’t realised it from the underwater weapon :P

Very good ideas as well.
Thank you ^^
Some Ideas I hadn’t posted in there (post got buried, like every other post in the suggestions forum).
Elementalist
Conjure Second weapon (elite): Stand still to charge for a weapon swap.
While this elite is equipped, a 2nd slot for ele’s appears
Cooldown 60 seconds.
Cast time 2 seconds (can move)
goal being for pve or wvw, some battles last more than a minute and you really may need that other part of a weapon. I find it a bit rude to leave ele as either support or dps. With this they have to decide, do I bring a powerful elite, or a easy to interrupt weapon swap? If need be the cooldown can be raised to 90 seconds or w/e seems fitting
Engineer
Static Turret(turret): Deploy a turret that causes vulnerability.
Channel (5X) vulnerability (1 stack per hit).
Vulnerability duration 15 seconds per hit.
Time between attacks 8 seconds.
Attack range 600 units.
Cooldown 30 seconds.
[2nd skill]- Create a static field around the turret, crippling and damaging foes inside.
Field duration 3 seconds.
Combo Field: Static
Cooldown 50 seconds.
[Toolbelt]- Gain a shocking aura.
Cooldown 75 seconds.
Thief
Escape route(trick)- Throw down a void.
Duration 15 seconds.
Combo Field: Dark
Radius 250 units.
[Escape]- Teleport to the void and gain stealth.
Stealth duration 2 seconds.
Breaks stun.
Cooldown 40 seconds.
Signet of Theft(Signet)- [Passive]- Steal transfers 1 condition you are suffering from to your foe.

Fury duration 10 seconds.
Cooldown 50 seconds.

break. I feel like they should be back by now..”
not to make legendary weapons awesome and stuff.. but well a few ideas none the less :P
Bolt – Lightening fields or taking lightening damage will overcharge Bolt dealing more damage than usual
Twilight – Dark fields or dark damage taken will increase the damage and the weapon glows brighter
Incinerator – Fire fields or fire damage taken will increase the damage
Juggernaut – Light fields or light damage taken
Bifrost – Water fields or water damage taken
Frostfang – Ice fields or ice damage taken
Moot – While atleast one friendly unit dances in 900 aoe around moot, it deals more damage than usual. Secondary effect – Moot automatically glows brighter if there are any hot opposite sex characters around the wielder and also, the wielder can choose a list of songs to be played to impress them.
The Dreamer – When the pony travels across a poison field (friendly or enemy) or the character takes poison damage. The pony’s get sick.. go haywire and starts exploding randomly. Secondary effect – While there are little girl characters around, not counting asurans, the wielder goes into exemplary rage showcasing his ponies, dealing more damage
and so on…. :-)
Coming back to a few more class skill ideas —-
New Necromancer skill ideas
1. Cheat Death – Upon activating cheat death, life force becomes 100% and can be targeted to an ally which swaps your life force to thier health. example : ally – 30% health, on activating cheat death on that ally – you get 30% life force while the ally gets 100% health.
2. Discord – Can only be activated if the target has more than 3 conditions and 3 boons. Deals very high damage. Cooldown – 3 seconds.
New Warrior skill ideas
1. Deadly Riposte (Shield ability) – (Spikes across the shield) Block the next attack (meelee only, non-projectile), bleeds the target and reflects the same amount of damage.
2. Disarm (projectile) – Throw an axe from your backpack precisely knocking the target’s weapon down for 3 seconds. Removes swiftness and you cannot gain swiftness for 5 seconds after this skill is used.
New Ranger skill ideas
1. Choking Gas (buff – 10 seconds) – Arrows are dipped in a substance made by nature’s effective trees. These arrows daze a target. —- While choking gas is active, arrows projectile time is increased by 50% and cannot use any aoe skills.
