Guild Wars 2

Was thinking of ideas for what I would like to see as a finisher added to the game. Instead of having the default be the plain spike I think it would be cool if it was somehow based on your class. Then you could work towards an upgraded version with more bells and whistles. Just thought it was a cool idea.
Thoughts?
Ideas for class finishers?

Ele: A blast of the element that they are currently attuned to
Guardian: A shield surrounded in blue flame
Necro: A skeletal appendage covered in shadow
Mesmer: A glowing crystal that shatters like a clone
Engi: A turret that drives a steel spike into the chest
Ranger: A grouping of arrows with a nature vibe
Thief: A series of rapid stabs from a dagger that then vanishes in a flash of smoke
Rev: A sword in the shape of Glint that pops in and out of the mists before spiking
Warrior: A series of multiple weapon attacks that leave the body broken and bleeding

I like this idea. But for the Warrior one, just make it a giant hammer that flattens the enemy. :P

Just a fun little idea that I doubt would be implemented but what if when you successfully stomp someone, you go invulnerable and finish them mortal combat style.

For example: Elementalists would go full Avatar Aang and finish them with a massive attack or combo involving all the elements, similar to the series finale if there are any fans here.

Though it would be incredibly awesome killing your foe off in an overdramatized fashion, it would definitely change the down state and rally system for probably the worst.

i doubt it would be implemented since they already have finishers based off classes like lightning wizard, grenith finisher, dark assassin finisher, revenant finisher, etc.

i say do it, these are sweet ideas

Ugh, there’s so much more to worry about in PVP than class finishers…

I like the idea but instead of making them replace the default I think they should be rewards for wins with the class. Warrior for example, you get the title, Champion Legionnaire for 150 rated wins with a warrior. Maybe have it that the warrior finisher unlocks when you unlock Champion Legionnaire. Same with the other 8.
Not trying to sound like an elitist here, in fact I’m not an elitist. If this minute they release class specific finishers with this way of unlocking them I would only have 2 so far anyway. I just think they wouldn’t be that special if they were just given to everyone as a default rather than just to people who earn them as a reward.
BTW, there is already a revenant finisher.

I like this idea

Champion brawler should have a woman drop down on the downed enemy and tell you to take a break from gaming every two hours.

This game definitely needs more class identity. As a guard main I feel very disconnected from my class.

Ele: it rains down on the corpse (water) a tornado blows away the rain (wind) a crack opens (earth) fire comes out of that crash (fire) in this order
Guardian: a shield instead of a spear that’s trown into the corpse
Necro: shadow/skeleton hands trying to drag the corpse down into the abbiss
Mesmer: Butterflys attacking! A swarm of them circle around and suddenly they all rush to the corpse
Engi: a gadget above the corpse that floats over the corpse and electricy flows out of it (like a tessler coil)
Ranger: a tree grows, with an bullseye hanging on the tree
Thief: a thief animation apears and takes a money bag from the corpse
Rev: mysts opening under the corpse
Warrior: a sword get’s rammed into the corpse instead of the spear

And an other idea, independent from those, how about a finisher that just replaces the spear we kill normaly with the current weapon skin we are using in our mainhand? (sure, bows and guns will look a bit odd, when you slap/stab someone with them, but i would totally ramm my bow into someone at a battlefield, if they lie down bleeding under my feed…)

I like that! Really cool.
