Guild Wars 2

Suggestion for mes elite skill (summon Doppelganger)

Some how mes is lacking in term of elite .we already have all sort of illusion summon but not a elite as mention that mes relate skill.it would be really cool to summon a doppelgänger for say 20 sec or so

nah, summon 20 “holograms” withing a GTAoE of ~10m diameter (like TimeWarp).
Holograms look like you (and your party) and run around wildly in their AoE. They don’t attack and can’t receive 0 damage. Triggering this skill resets all target marker on yourself. Lasts 10s.

not a bad idea, Mystic, but AI would be terrible.

Quite true the AI will be terrible ..It is quite a engineering challenge to build a prefect doppelgänger AI .anyway here my idea on the AI ,basically it will activate and mimic whatever skill the player are using sort of a mirroring the player in a way,if player is not attacking it will just run a normal AI attack sequence that counter whatever the player is activating using his skill set. In short two type of attack sequence mirroring and counter with a third random attack sequence. A prefect doppelgänger AI might be abit overpowering but with a cool down of 180 sec it is still limited to its use.

Quite a good idea overall but for player to want to use it for a elite it should have at least a small amount damage like a large confusion curse well or chao storm if anyone would want to use it.here is a idea maybe it will show all sort of condition on player bar with a small amount of damage like confusion /weaken.

Something to add to the idea of creating clone of mob of player flee/running away . In wvw. Would be funny to watch in wvw as part of mes misdirection spell book or necro’s spell book.

Interesting. I hope that arenanet adds new elites. The game needs them. It was a bad idea to launch with so few elite skills per profession. Most of them are useless anyway.

My opinion is that (hopefully in the extension)they add more elites in general,for all professions.the one thing that really stood out in gw1 was all the skills(how hard it was to get some and how proud u are when u got it! XD ). only 2 elites per prof feels like they’ve cut my one hand off and given me 2 fingers ?
Also make it a bit of a challenge to get the new skills!that would be really awesome

I thought of a Doppelganger too, but with different mechanics. What I thought of was call it Lyasa’s Mirror and for 25 seconds you create a perfect doppelganger that mimics you like a mirror so if you cast Phantasmal Warden it cast it too, except his clones does not count as your clones.

Uchiheka, I did love capping an elite skill. I really miss that. It was a big mistake to cut that from the game.

Gummy, I like your version. Another cool thing would be to create a skill like mirror image from DnD. It creates a row of doppelgangers and swaps you in to one of the positions at random.

What if when summoning the doppleganger, you create a line straight ahead, and then the doppleganger moves simetrically to you, comparing to the line.

So you go left, it goes right, etc. xD
