Guild Wars 2

A lot of people have had issues with epic skills in GW2. They are either too long of cooldown, or the effect just doesn’t really feel epic. But if you were a Dev and had the option to actually make epic skills feel epic, what would you do? Keep in mind all professions would also get “epic” skills like those suggested here, so balance doesn’t really enter the equation with your ideas. Do keep them somewhat realistic, a skill to one shot players/npcs isn’t very epic, so keep em fun.

Mine would be something like this.

Epic skill: Chaotic Simulacrum
Type: Clone
Cast Time: 2 sec
Duration: 20 sec
Cooldown: 40 sec

Description: Create a Clone that spawns next to your character, and mimics your abilities and movements. The simulacrum can summon up to 3 illusions of its own. Damage done by Chaotic Simulacrum is 1/2 that of the player.

It will dodge and move forward/backward/side/strafe as you do. It will also summon Illusions and shatter them just as the player does. Health for the clone is the same as the player character.

So what would you make?

Old timewarp with 100% boost. Please?

I’d like to see an epic Phantasm. Necros have epic minion, rangers have epic spirit ..
Something with a bit higher health, 60 sec CD, and single target dps similar to that of iSwordsman. Nothing fancy so far, however, I’ll want this phantasm to be immune to AOE dmg : D
Basically a spell that can compete with TW for boss fights.

P.S. As you mentioned in an earlier post, I want my “bunnies” immortal.

A trait to make mantra of distraction and/or diversion AoE 300 radius.

So you want to make a that increases your damage, healing, clones, boons and conditions by 50% on a 20-40 second cooldown and you ask us not to think of overpowered skills?

How about an elite weapon like ele’s fiery greatsword. It could be a big mirror that gives you 5 new weapon skills and lasts for 20 seconds

1. your auto-attack is whatever attack you were last hit by
2. creates an asura portal that pulls nearby enemies and grants retalition to allies
3. sends all your conditions to your target and all your boons to nearby allies
4. reflects all projectiles for 5 seconds, reflected projectiles have a chance to stun
5. shatters the mirror, doing big AoE damage and stripping all boons from enemies

There’s a difference between OP and God or administrator skill. Also i did say that if everyone epic skills were you know epic, then our op skill wouldn’t be any more op then any other. Think before you speak, or you know, use a little imagination.

No wonder the Dev team seems to have no current interest in changing epic skills, the player base obviously doesn’t either.

Kinda like this one, although it feels more like an Elementalist skill then for mes, but i like it non-the-less.

I would like one of these, please and thank you:
