I was just thinking what if skills didn’t have a cooldown. Minus weapon abilities, main heals & elite skills what would not having any cooldowns do for your class?
I main a Thief so we would have a lot of mobility in the form of teleports and blinds & stealth would be much more readily available.
Venoms would very likely see some light for one especially with venom sharing & I think Shadow Refuge with be an incredible boon in team PvP situations.
So again what would not having cooldowns do for your class? Also lets be reasonable if you have an ability that lets something exist that otherwise wouldn’t then only one can exist per character at a time. (ex. Shadow Refuge, Sanctuary, Conjured Frost Bow, ect.)
Here’s what people thought of GW1 when it first came out: http://tinyurl.com/bntcvyc
“A release is 7 days or less away or has just happened within the last 7 days…
These are the only two states you’ll find the world of Tyria.”
“Also lets be reasonable if you have an ability that lets something exist that otherwise wouldn’t then only one can exist per character at a time. (ex. Shadow Refuge, Sanctuary, Conjured Frost Bow, ect.)”
Spectral Walls would fall into that category… as well as Shadow Refuge… ^^;;;
Also since the spots between Heals & Elites are not weapon skills the fact that Thieves have no CD on theirs is irrelevant.

That’ll teach me for posting after having skimmed the OP. :P
I’d probably stack AOE torment/immob with Tainted Shackles then. I could see that being pretty entertaining when used against a zerg.

Hehe well a lot of these abilities would be insanely strong but the Heals & most likely a lot of the Elites would push the boundaries too far if they weren’t limited.
As for the Weapon Skills they are based around their class mechanics/resources so I didn’t want to include them for this discussion.
Infinite utilities would be silly. Now infinite weapon skills could be do-able just like the thief. It has been said somewhere before that this is how they had intended the game to be with an energy pool or some such which potions would help to keep stocked up. They could go back to this idea but instead of having these potions be purchasable from the gemstore (as was planned in the first place) they could simply have them be craft-able or simply just don’t have them in game.
Since when did this business of being a hero become being a business?
This isn’t a wish list or a suggestion. I am just curious as to what this would do to you and your class.
