Guild Wars 2

As the topic says I’d like to come up with new ideas for elite skills both racial and class elites. one idea for new elite skills I have is for them to help each class fight against what they consider the most annoying or impossible to kill class, but don’t limit your ideas to that .

my idea for a new Mesmer elite
example Mesmer elite.
phantasmal phoenix 2 second cast, 45 second cooldown
summons a phantasmal phoenix
upon summon phantasmal phoenix cast phantasmal surge at targeted enemy, auto attacks between phantasmal surge cast.

phantasmal surge: channels a large beam of energy at enemy
200 (5x) base damage
causes 2 stacks of torment per hit ( torment damage set to 400 per stack while not moving 800 while moving, damage not effected by Mesmer condition stat.)

phantasmal phoenix auto attack: 1/2 cast, 3/4 second cooldown
base damage is 1/4 Mesmer attack stat at time of cast.

No no no. This game does NOT need more AI.

No no no. This game does NOT need more AI.

That’s mesmer in a nut shell though. Not like I enjoy fighting all the AI but I can only see more getting added.

These were well worth the read.

But, yah… lets not add more elites. Lets fix what we have first, and make the current elites more attractive to those who dont use them because they are terrible.

well then if we don’t need new elites what needs fixed on the current elites and how they should be fixed.

Ranger Elite: Smoke Trap
Causes X damage (probably similar to Viper’s Nest or something)
Blind on pulse
Confusion on pulse
Combo Field: Smoke

If anything I’d like a “Mirror” as an Elite as a Mesmer.

Mirror
Capture the current elite ability your target has equipped. If the ability would be unusable by you, get a random one instead. You have 15 seconds to use the captured Elite. Can target friendly players.
Cooldown: 25% more than the copied ability.
