Guild Wars 2

Deal damage when you daze a target.

I would take this over any other Dom GM. Thoughts?

It would have to be pretty low base power, because I could see that with Halting Strike being problematic.

Some overlapping with halting strike but why not. Maybe we can create an instant burst build (like fresh air ele) but that starts with interrupt lol.

One thing I have to say, love the name. Not sure about what to do with it though.

I think it’s too similar to Halting Strike to be honest with you, but it does sound cool.

However, I think instead of coming up with new skills, we should figure out how to improve the ones we already have. The only way I’d be down for new gms is if others are merged together (I’m looking at Shatter Conditions and Restorative Illusions) or DE becomes part of our mechanic.

Btw, Furious interruption should remove boon(s) with no ICD. Wouldn’t that be a great buff to an otherwise sucky trait?

Yeah it would be really sweet if us posting stuff made Anet fix all our bugged out or useless crap, without making it worse…but it hasn’t worked that way so far. However they do seem willing to add new stuff, so hey.

This trait combined with Halting Strike would still be nowhere near the burst possible with IP, and that is a perfectly fine GM so why not this one? You’d have to go 6 into Dom to get it, so a 6/4/x/x/x, which isn’t going to be super optimal.

In this game an interrupt build will never be OP, and I think it should be possible to nail someone for 3-4 dmg with a daze interrupt via this trait plus HS. It would increase the utility of MoD, making it possible to use for a little added spike when going for a kill, which I think would be sweet.

Power Block: 5 Seconds of Slow on Interrupt

I can hope

GM should be

• Daze duration increased by 50%
• Dazing a foe rips a boon off your foe.

Power block should be

• Interrupted skills will cause damage on use (similar to confusion, scales off power).
• interrupted foes are weakened.

Xii and Xi in Inspiration don’t work because in any shatter build, you run x/4/x/x/6, and don’t have enough points left to get it. Anet really need to make deceptive evasion an adept trait to open up so many builds, hell, if that were the case, I’d run 0/2/0/6/6, and get vigor from shatters and remove conditions, would be as good as ele dd cele.

This looks oddly familiar.

I quite obviously like the idea. But I would rather have it incorporated into CS and might also prefer a power-based damage-over-time mechanic. Otherwise the burst coming from an interrupting Daze might indeed be too overpowering or at least too unpredictable for your opponent. Having an over-time-mechanic offers some counterplay.

Ele’s already have this GM trait only it’s on CC effect. 6 in their second line, shoots a lightning bolt

Lightning Rod. It’s a fun one, and I use it on my Ele all the time. Funny thing is, it was originally only on-’rupt, but that got patched to on-CC.

As for the main topic? An interesting idea. And, going with a power damage option at least preserves the overall “flow” of the Dom line.

It couldn’t exist in a world with Halting Strike – you’d need to remove that first.

Would be too overpowered in a 6/2/0/0/6 IP build with daze mantra and mirror images.

The increased burst would not make up for the loss of DE and the sustain reductions.

You could put an ICD on it if it really proved to be OP, which it wouldn’t.

Landing an interrupt is at least as hard to reliably do as a full IP shatter, the latter of which can 1 shot people and this never would. There is no way this would be remotely as strong a GM as IP for burst.

And yes, anyone who took IP+6 in dom would be bad without DE and die a lot; non-issue.
