Guild Wars 2

The act of utmost nobility, a sublime self-sacrifice couldn’t be more fitting for the guardian class.

A few rules:

• It has to be strong, strong enough to prevent or revert a wipe, or turn the fight around by itself.

• It has to punish the player using it, for example high cooldowns and/or the inability to revive the player until the party is out of combat.

• There must be margins of error, which means you can screw it up, either make it interruptible or give it a health % requirement. This means you can make it more powerful without making it overpowered.

• It has to be situational, not mandatory, this is important so players aren’t forced to take it against their will.

Thoughts?

A really, really, really cool idea, but if it isn’t executed perfectly, it will be either absolutely horrible or extremely overpowered. Or maybe not so. Still, I love the idea. It’d be awesome to give my own life to ensure my team’s or zerg’s victory.
