Guild Wars 2

Me Games Ma.8426:

I got the Idea from the thread about the new elites.

Like the topic sais this thread is meant to gather Guild Wars 1 skills of the mesmer and transfere them to Guild Wars 2.
In guild wars 1 we’ve had over 140 skills and there are some that are good ideas and could be used and implemented in this game too.

Here’s a List with all the old mesmer skills from gw1.

An example was posted by me a few month ago:

Me Games Ma.8426:

Calculated Risk: (My favorite)

• a skill that does medium dmg and grants might to your enemy but also causes cripple, weakness and blind. also creates a clone on hit that uses autoattack
• Range 900
• Cooldown 20s
• Activation (press and hold) 0.25-1.25s (5 steps 0.25 | 0.5 | 0.75 | 1 | 1.25)
• 1-5 stacks might for 15s for your enemy
• 2-10s weakness

• Cooldown 20s
• Activation 0.25s

Shrinking Armor:

• a skill that causes bleed and vulnerability to your enemies, also creates a clone whose attacks cause bleed and vulnerability (one stack each for 5s)
• Cooldown 25s
• Activation 3/4s
• Range 900
• 3 stacks bleed for 10s
• 8 stacks of vulnerability for 10s

Cry of Pain

• new skill catecory “Cry”

• 1 stack torment for 6s
• ~dmg as “cry of frustration”
• 1s cast

Don’t forget “Vision of regret, Backfire, Empathy, Diversion, Blackout, Psychic Instability, Illusion of Pain, Crippling Anguish, Energy Surge, Fevered Dreams, Guilt, Illusionary Weaponry, Migraine, Panic, Shared Burden, Web of Disruption, Shatter Delusions and many more”

Mirror Wall – Glamour
Places a Mirror Wall. Enemy projectiles crossing the wall are duplicated, also hitting the attacker. Friendly projectiles crossing the wall are duplicated, striking a second nearby target. Enemies crossing the wall create a clone of themselves which will attack them, allies will create a clone which attacks their current target.
Duration: 8s
Cooldown: kitten
Clone: Attacks with main attack, causing no damage. Clones will not create any secondary effects and cannot be controlled.

The Primary.6371:

Don’t forget “Vision of regret, Backfire, Empathy, Diversion, Blackout, Psychic Instability, Illusion of Pain, Crippling Anguish, Energy Surge, Fevered Dreams, Guilt, Illusionary Weaponry, Migraine, Panic, Shared Burden, Web of Disruption, Shatter Delusions and many more”

• VoR, Backfire, Empathy are somehow implemented as confusion, so we shouldn’t need skills like that just some ways to apply confusion.
• Diversion is already a shatterskill that is extremely viable
• Blackout & Panic: here
• Energy Surge “here”: … wait! did you even read? You’ve quoted this skill!
• Web of Disruption here
• and so on… pls read the whole threat before adding requests like that :P

BUT Thank you for requesting Illusionary Weaponary!

Illusionary Weaponary
Elite Spell (Manipulation)
For the duration of illusionary weaponary your autoattack damage is devided by the number of your clones. While active all of your clones will deal a percentage of the usual damage that is also linked to their number.
Duration: 15s
Cooldown: 60s

• Your damage:
  0 clones: damage*1
  1 clone: damage*0.67
  2 clones: damage*0.5
  3 clones: damage*0.33
• Clones Damage:
  1 clone: dmg*0.5
  2 clones: dmg*0.33
  3 clones: dmg*0.25

I don’t know much about GW1, i just play GW2 for 1yr.
I’d like to see some skill/trait/utility that combines confusion+quickness. That is, buff your enemy with quickness for some seconds and then some stacks of confusion. If the enemy doesn’t pay attention he/she’ll suffer confusion dmgs (more easily than ever), but if he/she’ll be able to cleanse confusion stacks… well XD…

Some traits that increase Illusions potential would be great too, such as grant them Swiftness (my berserkers can’t always hit someone running away, such as Eles, Thieves or Warrs), or Aegis (in WvW Illusions just die like they were snow in the summer).

A very useful elite signet could grant us to have 1 more Illusion slot (that is, passive effect: your max Illusion is 4, not 3).

Traits that grant blind/confusion with glamours, c’mon! 20 trait pts for just 1 blind and 1 confusion stack? It isn’t a little bit too weak? Plus, since confusion punishes skill use and because its dmg has been halved in WvW, i would like our confusion sources increase the time by 1-2 sec. Engi and even Necros can stack more confusion than Mesmers.

I would work on those things first…

Hex Spell. (8…18…20 seconds.) Target foe cannot use signets.

Change to: Interrupting an opponent puts their signets on cooldown.

/bump cuz there are new skills coming with HoT :P

I guess my improve to Time Warp would really fit the chronomancer

Love this thread! Wastrel’s Demise is my fav!

Best thread, good bump.

1 year ago I came up with this trait Idea in this thread. 2 months later Arenanet gave us a trait called “Power Block”. Did they actually read or is this a coicidence?
