Guild Wars 2

Hey I would like to request a few small F5 skills for Racials. I like using Racials for fun in WvW and PvE.

This could really spark some life into them.

I put in a bug report about this earlier (regular racial skills have toolbelt abilities). Mistfire wolf also doesn’t have a toolbelt skill.

Considering their place as “fluff”, I’d be really surprised if this gets looked at.

I would say give it something like a generic skill for each elite. Maybe a boon or effect that relates to the elite. Example: Mistfire wolf F5- Cause a fire nova at your location that does “x” damage to 5 targets and burning for “x seconds”. Or even with norn elites a long lasting boon (roughly the duration of the elite itself) or an effect like what the transform does- bear: might, snow leopard: stealth or super speed, wolf: fear or bleeding, ect ect. You get the idea by now. By keeping it simple with simple effects or boons/conditions, it can be much more easily balanced. If you get too creative with it they will just ignore this altogether because they don’t like putting resources into racial stuff.

a month later…still hasn’t been addressed. Just sayin’

I found this disappointing as well, but I doubt it will ever get added. I would love to see it, but we’ll have to wait until after HoT at least. All those racial elites that were ocasionally useful are now always useless. What can you do.
