Guild Wars 2

For future new utility and elite skills, what would you like to get?

For me, I would like to see some utility skills that are Melee attacks(regardless of weapon in hand) that can do something powerful, like an AoE heal while charging the swing or something like that.

Also would like an elite skill that is a spirit weapon, or a spirit angel in general, that can go around fighting/healing/protecting allies around it.

Another utility I would like is another ward spell, that also acts as a ranged reflection of AoE. Could tie nicely into Sactuary.

Another utility would be a Conseration that heals allies in the area of it, and absorbs AoE damage from spells as well as sieges.

I would like to see an instant meditation somewhat similar to the following

SunSpear: Meditate sending a spear of light energy flying towards your target, when it hits it explodes doing X damage to your target and all nearby enemies. (150-200 unit radius)
Enemies damaged by SunSpear are crippled & weakened for 5 seconds.
The cool down could be around 25-30 seconds..

Also I would love to see an elite that summons multiple spirit weapons (maybe multiple slightly weaker versions of the sword, but 3-5 of them)

As for shouts, I would absolutely love to see one that gave swiftness (for 10 seconds) & might x3 (for 30 seconds) on a 35 second cool down.
Maybe they could call it “Swift Justice” or something.

Guardians need either an elite shout or signet, an elite spirit weapon would be interesting though.

Elite that give fury, might, and free dodging for 5 seconds, seem cool.

Bit too op?

• Sea of Purity (Elite)

Engulf the surrounding area in a sea of flames. Remove Conditions from allies and grant Might, Burn your foes and cause Vulnerability.

Duration: 6 Seconds

I don’t know about new utility skills, I just wish they give the longbow to the guardian and extend Bubble times.

I’d like a Shout Elite. Something like..

For Kryta!
Grant multiple boons to nearby allies.
Aegis(12s), Fury(12s), Might(12s), Regen(12s), Swiftness(12s), Vigor(12s)
Cooldown: 60 seconds

With “Elite Focus” trait, increase duration of the boons by 4 seconds.

Another single spirit weapon could be nice. Something like..

Spirit of Martyr
Summon an arcane spirit to defend you for 30 seconds.
Arcane Spirit would cripple target for 2 seconds every 2 hits.
Command(25s cooldown): Whenever you are hit, transfer 50% of the damage to the arcane spirit. Last 3 seconds. The spirit will be destroyed after being commanded.
Cooldown: 120 seconds

With “Elite Focus”, Spirit of Martyr would not be destroyed upon command and duration increased by 10 seconds.

I’d really like “For Kryta!”. I’m not a fan of spirit weapons, just had this random idea.

A signet could be neat but for gods sake it would be nice to have one that’s at least simi offensive as we already have more then enough defensive options to last us a lifetime.

Perhaps they could make one that gives a passive health regeneration but can be activated to give might & fury.

That would make it quite nice as a duel purpose signet.

i love the idea of an elite spirit weapon or signet, expecialy if they were effected by all the traits

my two visualy i want to see are as follow (Note: i dont care if the abillities are nerfed to hell or are completely different aslong as they visualy look as i describe)

Divine Judgement: Calls a Massive beam of light from the sky onto a targeted area, Enemies within the area are Blinded and burned for 3 sec, every second (also dealing damage) allies within the light are healed and/or gain protection.

If this spell is too visual abbrasive they could just make it an area where beams of light strike from the sky to smite our foes. If you havent figured it out, i want my old RoJ back.

The next abillity could work one of two ways visualy and countless ways in effect,

Avatar of zeal: Transform into an Armored, winged Guardian of the gods gaining health, stabillity and new abilities.

or

Aura of Conviction: Channel magic within you body to become a beacon of hope to all allies, (granting Awesome wings of light…PLS) allies are healed and gain might based on their proximity to you.
(second abillity is because i loved the paragon wings and i want them back again too :P)
well thats my ideas, hope you like em.

thats a bad elite skill, since that does pretty much the same thing our concentration does.

oh heck no. NO SIGNETS!! you trust Anet to make Signets after seeing what they did to the heavy armor classes’ signets already? come on

Staff of Hope(changed from Judgement seems more appropriate) – Spirit weapon Elite- Staff lets out a wave of energy damaging enemies and granting regeneration or retaliation..(can’t decide) up to 5 allies
Duration-15 sec

Command- The staff thrusts itself into the ground creating a symbol of sanctuary harming and burning all enemies within and granting stability or regeneration(can’t decide again..) to allies in a 600-900 radius
Duration- 5-7 secs

I’m a major fan of spirit weapons

i think every class should have an elite version of all their types of skills. With this, i agree that we should have an elite signet, elite shout, elite meditation and elite spirit weapon

What i dont agree with is making the spirit weapon not a weapon, like angels or whatnot. It has to be a weapon. Elementalists dont summon Fiery Great Grandmother, they summon Fiery Greatsword. Because its a weapon as like the other conjure weapons.

Summon Spirit Staff
Summon a ghostly staff that stays near your character like the bow and attacks with long range laser like mesmers do with greatswords.

Command will be an aoe heal with a buff, maybe might or protection i dont know

EDIT: or what the guy above me posted, that ones valid too. As long as its a WEAPON

Summon Spirit Armor

Summon a spirit armor that will periodically grant boons to your and your allies. Give the guardian Protection and Retaliation equal to the duration.
Command: Grant Quickness to your allies.

Just because I’m falling in love with Mesmer’s Time-warp.

Some elites I’d like to see:

Zealot Fire would be interessing.

I would like a simple passive toughness booster.

my suggestions wernt for the spirit weapon, they were forms and spells kinda like the necro elite. except a giant armored winged kitten

Summon Spirit Army (Elite)

Summon all four Spirit weapons. At the end of their lifespan, they automatically use their sacrifice skill.

Engineers can do it, why not us :|

Some people seem to want multiple spirit weapons in the elite so here’s another one I thought of.. can’t you tell I love spirit weapons!?

Scepter and Focus of Judgement – Elite Spirit weapons- The weapons alternate when attacking, scepter will shoot a projectile that explodes on contact for small aoe burn damage, the focus will then fire a ribbon that bounces between foes and allies healing allies and damaging foes. (I honestly couldn’t decide if it would only fire ribbons instead..)
Duration: 15-20 sec

Command- The Scepter and Focus fuse their power together to create a ray of judgement that beams of the targets location for 3 secs causing burning and blindness for 3-5 secs to anyone hit in the area.(Could use a little work not sure if it’s viable, or op.. xD)

Summon some sort of angel of healing or something that watches over us and our allies giving across nice buffs.

My imagination is pretty limited lol
I like SuperLuigi’s idea very well though.

Love it, goes right along with how Guardians are. Some damage, some support, lots of blue fire.

We need something defensive.

I vote for and Elite Shout with a larger cooldown requiring specialization into Shouts to balance. Shouts are my favorite skills in the game and Guardian needs more more more!

Every day I pray to the Gods of Tyria that in some expansion they give us a Longbow lol!

As for elite skills, summoning all our Spirit Weapons indeed sounds like an amazing idea :P

I would assume shout traits wouldn’t affect an elite shout since it’s an elite. If I remember correctly, on my ranger, I had survival skills cd-20% and the cd on my elite survival didn’T go down with the trait.

Oh my christ……. We so need an elite that turns us into an angel. It would be something like this.

You take the form of a heavenly Mother****ing ANGEL for a ten seconds. During this time you can kill anyone instantly and revive anyone, even if they were killed while downed.
Lol, jk, but I would like to see an elite skill that buffed you directly, rather than just give you another weapon. And of course it would have to have wings.
Guardians have so many self buffs, and buffs for others, so it doesn’t seem too inappropriate for an elite to reflect that.
Something like: You turn into a heavenly angel of justice for ten seconds. You would gain a lot of might or other various buffs during this time. If it was just might then you could make it so the elite doubled your damage during this time.
Not saying it has to be added, or even should be, but it doesn’t seem too op or unreasonable.
Mostly I just want to see a viable ranged weapon for the guardian, a bow seems very appropriate.

Spirit Protector

Lasts 15 seconds, CD 180s (can be lowered by traits)

Grants protection to all nearby allies (15s)
Grants Regeneration to all nearby allies (15s)
Grants aegis to all nearby allies (15s)
Grants stability to all nearby allies (10s)
Cures a condition on a nearby ally every 3 seconds.
Activate – Heals all allies for a certain amount of health and cures all conditions to all nearby allies

Sort of the opposite of the Mesmer quickness elite. Grants a very support/defensive minded group buff to be used in sticky situations in sPvP or dungeons to turn the tide of battle.

Fury of the Avenger

All of your attacks apply burning for (x)s
Gain (x) stacks of Might for 10s
Gain (x)s Fury
Gain (x)s Swiftness
Gain (x)s of Regeneration

(x) would be dependant on the number of fallen/dead/downed allies around you. Sort of like the “I will Avenge You!” (IWAY) from Guild Wars 1. If there are no dead/downed allies within a certain range, the effect would be minimal.

Main reason id prefer elites that are of the same skilltypes as our utility is because of traits. I can grab a trait that extends the tomes duration but thats it. Id like an elite signet that goes with the signet traits, a consecration that gets -20% cooldown and extended duration with traits, a shout that gets -20% cooldown and condition converting to boon with those traits etc etc
