Guild Wars 2

I think it would be really AWESOME if we had something above elite skills such as an ultimate or hyper combo with super flashy effects.

I am a huge “Tales of…” fan and it’s always been a great feature of most rpgs I play.

Here is the video example from Tales of Vesperia

It could also be something similar to Street Fighter or Marvel vs. Capcom. Just a freeze frame animation—maybe the screen darkens for people nearby when its executed.

Anyways, cool thought, it’d be silly in open world PvE or WvW, but maybe an optional feature in sPvP or only allowed in dungeons? Including extra features for different parts of the game could make it more interesting and probably make dungeons a lot more epic!

Totally unsure what this has to do with anything…

Can’t see it working, if it works anything like the example you showed, since the target player wouldn’t be able to react (NPC didn’t move in that video during them attacks).

If it was an incredibly flashy attack though (in terms of effects and animation), I wouldn’t say no.

elite skills are already your “super powerful, huge cooldown skills”.

guild wars 2 can’t have super flashy skills with characters leaping everywhere dealing tons of damage, because GW2 relies a lot on player input for movement. having an “awesome button” (press the button, something awesome happens) wouldn’t work with the existing mechanics.

I think we should have Elite Weapon Skills

Don’t pretend you didn’t understand me.

I’m talking of something simple like League of Legends “ultimate”.

Super flashy effects, cinematic attacks or “super combos” like Street Fighter or Tales of Vesperia would completely ruin the feel of GW2.
Sorry, ArcTheFallen.7682.

I do think some attacks like Cabal Online would look great.
Check it out (the game itself sucks, but the moves are cool):

i did, and that’s exactly what a burst skill is. a stronger than average skill that must be charged over time and unleashed for devastating effects.

that’s the by-the-book definition of a hyper combo in marvel VS capcom.

Well, elite skill is not something that needs to be charged.
So I’m not suggesting something like warrior’s burst.
Clear, now?

Haha, true, I guess I do envy the warrior’s adrenaline finisher (although some could be better). Kinda wish all classes had that kind of option

@Nurvus(a weapon elite sounds great!)

Yeah…I guess that video doesn’t integrate well with gw2 mechanics, but I recall Dragonica? or Dragon’s Nest having ultimates (both MMOs) which probably fits the latter of what you said, it’s big moves that have incredibly flash effects and that’d be amazing if gw2 classes could implement them (I believe they aren’t freeze frame animations either, so npcs can move)
