Guild Wars 2

So with the reveal of the warrior elite, the Berzerker, one other piece of information was also revealed: it looks like Berzerkers will receive a new utility skill type; Rage.
This makes me very happy as, if it is a new skill catagory, it would mean theres a chance the engineers new Drone skills wont be a previous skill type from another class but a new skill type exclusive to the engi.
Thoughts?

Anet loves warriors, i dont think we will receive a new skill type ;( I think they will try to replace the useless turrets with drones kinda.

A while back I posted an idea that was basically a merge of signets & minions.
You’d have these drones following you without any healthbar & giving you passive effects for just slotting them as utility, but if you choose their active effect, they spawn a minion that can be destroyed & performs a 1-time maneuver. like setting up reflective bubbles, flying towards enemies & blowing up, aoe-stealthing an area a.s.o.
Once they are destroyed by enemies (also automatically happens after the end of their active effect) they go on a cd & you loose their passive effect until they are off cd again.

I really hope it’s something like this, so we’re not too reliant on minion AI with these drones.

Thats sounds more like signets and phantasms/clones.
I like it and it reminds me of an idea i posted of giving the drones clone/phantasm a.i it that they will attack either the target youre locked on to or the target they are deployed on.
That self-destruct idea works and i like it, i just dont want a replica of an destruction turret but mobile. Would prefer no manual self-destruct button but rather a trait that would apply different effect to when a drone is destroyed…. Thats assuming they are destructable things

I bet on mantra like type of skill. I’d settle for signet style too :-)

What Arantheal posted would be cool, I am also looking forward to the Hammer. Hopefuly something we can actually use like the FT HGH builds atm.

We definitly get something special, and no – not minions at all. If you look at the preview carefully you see how the drones are “attached” to us. I doubt they will be targetable, they rather be some mechnized thing in mantra style… oh … there we have it :P Fancy animation mantras

defiance…please lord Balthazar
