Guild Wars 2

I’ve made a few serious topics in both suggests as well as Necromancer. Well, right now I want to make a fun topic with the engineer. Because the engineer is my stress free profession that is mainly a big bag of fun for me.

So I’m going to suggest something I would love to see in a expansion. Now I don’t think I’m the only one who thinks that expansions should add a couple of new skills to each of the professions. Personally, I feel that a few rolls are not filled that can be filled by the present professions. So I’m going to make a silly but real suggestion for the Engineer.

Since I already feel kinda like batman, only short, adorable and with a flamethrower, I figured a freeze ray kit would be fitting for a engineer. I love the idea so much I’ve thought about making a comic where my asura invented it with on real practical use other then being amazingly fun.

So here is the breakdown of the kit. If you have some suggestion as to how to make it better or more balanced, please feel free to leave a comment.

Elite Skill: Freeze ray

Skill 1: Charge the ray to fire a quick cold beam, quickly cooling the area in its path, damaging armor. Causes venerability.
Skill 2: Create a ice sheet you ride for a short time, pushing back foes. 10 second cool down.
Skill 3: Fire a long range beam that pierces through enemies, chilling them to their bones. Causes chilled. 15 second cool down.
Skill 4: Create an impassable ice wall. 25 second cool down.
Skill 5: Charge up a beam that pierces and encases your foes in ice. 90 second cool down

if you have any suggestions to change it or w/e, I would like to hear it. If you think it shouldn’t exist at all, well thats fine. Arena Net will probably never make the awesomeness that is the freeze ray anyway.

Increase cooldown on Skill 2 by atleast 5 seconds. Because it seems like a ride the lightning skill but with a knock back.
And Skill 4 by 10-15. Unless the wall can be destroyed, but it sounds like a Guardian barrier and Elems static wall thing.

Lower skill 5 by 30. Cuz 90 sounds to much like a elite skill xD

I would love to have a freeze ray. Engineering would be dumb in Gw2 if they only stuck with what they have now. Engineers are always changing and making new things.

It is supposed to be an elite skill The entire kit is an elite skill. And having a skill that can encase multiple people in ice is extremely powerful, even if its only 2 seconds. That is my reasoning at least.

Perhaps some things are a bit too similar, but hey, it would be freaking awesome. And Of course I’m taking some of these skill ideas from comic books. Riding ice? Iceman did that. Creating a ice wall is something every cold villain has done ever. Having a freeze ray? Mr. Freeze. Hehe.

Also, how cool would it be to quote bad movies while playing GW2? I mean quote bad movies more often. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRH-Ywpz1_I

Lol. its good to be able to have a bit of fun on these forums every once in a while. and, its alright. It doesn’t have to be elite, but if that happens number 5 can’t be as powerful as I have suggested.

Number 5 sounds like a freezing Grenade :o. Then again it has to pierce things to get multiple hits so it cant be that powerful :P.

@Rezzet, Ride the lightning does not cause knockback, RoL is skil 4 on dagger, air attuenment, what most Elementalist’s do (bad ones that is), is they instant follow up RoL with skill 5 on the dagger air, Updraft, that will knock the enemy down, send them a bit back and grant then Swiftness

would be nice to have an elite kit.

poor Governator, got thrown in to the campiest script ever for one of DC’s most tragic villains.

blame the writers for that one, not the actor.

Tesla’s Death Ray!

Well look at it this way. its a piercing shot that encases the foe in ice. its like Deep freeze. Not like the freeze grenades. And trust me on this one, it is that powerful. You can’t use a stun break or condition removal to get out of a block of ice.

tbh, the idea of a freeze ray elite sounds wicked, especially so of the weapon has expendable charges… ie, use em all, the kit goes on 180 sec cd, but until they are used, no cd.
