Guild Wars 2

Is it just me, or does this skill look like it functions similar to Killing Spree from World of Warcraft which is a rogue skill?

maybe that could a basic understanding how that skill will work.

You’re trying too hard. Many games before WoW have had this move. It’s been in cartoons as well. Does this honestly need a post? He either becomes mist or slips through space using mist. I’m sure the skill tooltip will tell us.

I honestly don’t see it.

Sorry.

I appreciate what WoW was/is but all I see is a beautiful game and skill in GW2 and a clunky old cartoon in WoW.

here is a description from Wowwiki.com

Killing Spree is a rogue ability learned at level 80 for those with the Combat specialization. It is an instant ability that allows rogues to deal a large amount of burst damage to one or more enemies in range.

I cant find a decent video of a rogue jumping from character to character using this skill. but appears to jump from target to target dealing massive damage to multiple enemies nearby, while avoiding damage with each jump.

NVM I found a video that show off the AOE attack of this.

Cool deal. ty.

The skill probably won’t work like that live… but I can see the comparison.

At this moment in time, people will always turn to WoW to make their points. However; this unfortunately is due to most people starting their MMO adventure with WoW. If you had played back in the days of Ultima Online, Dark Age of Camelot or Everquest, you will know the skills you are referring too have been around for a very long time

Agree its made to look cool much like the hammer wielding engineer that kill a mordem wolf in 1 hit.

If you had played back in the days of Ultima Online, Dark Age of Camelot or Everquest, you will know the skills you are referring too have been around far longer than WoW

didnt say WoW invented it.
Just a good example that most people can relate to.

What would have been a better way to word the OP in your opinion?

“Rev skills don’t look original, but an offshoot of other MMOs” Would have been a better title.

You would have got more attention to the thread and had a more interesting conversation. You could have then brought up the links about the skills also being similar to those of the Rogue in WoW and other MMOs.

The downside to have “WoW” in the thread title, does draw a lot of negativity before people start reading.

Wether it is or not does it really matter. There are a million comparisons between every MMO out there similar weapon and armour looks similar gme mechanics similar moves similar pvp and PVE environments does it really seriously matter what looks like something from another game? I’ve played a lot of MMO’s and I just shrug and say “if it works it works and that’s all that matters”. If you have played multiple games U will see that ideas are taken from each other and enhanced or used in a different direction. So if it is from wow cool story it doesn’t matter because chances are even WoW have copied something from another game too. Just enjoy both games these “(insert game game name) has copied/cloned/taken an idea from (insert other games name)” are getting really old and boring, just enjoy the game smile and have a good time! That’s what games are for (: ^^

That’s Omnislash.

If that were true then my #1 skill for grenades would work more like the grenades for Diablo III’s Demon Hunter grenades, and my turrets would have worked more like those of the Vanquisher from Torchlight 1. The fact that they don’t right now means that not only did they try to do something new but it didn’t work because the class is imbalanced in PVE at this time because of it. There’s a reason why MMO devs take skill effects from other games out there, because they work.

I don’t care if they copied WoW they need to copy a bit more for the engineer class imo.

You can say the same thing about other skills from other professions in gw2. Just because the revenant may or may not have 1 skill similar to another game hardly makes all skills (that we have no idea) unoriginal. Its a fantasy game with similar concepts to tons of other things, of course there is going to be some overlap. Hardly worth a discussion since we don’t know any of the other revenant skills, we only know of the design and concept.
