Guild Wars 2

Ok, maybe not. But It’s certainly something worth thinking about.

Shadow Aura: Channel your life force into a shield that will reflect projectiles and blind nearby foes. While channeling Shadow Armor, life force drains at twice as fast. 5 second channel. 25 second recharge.

(The blind would be an AoE pulse going out every second, very reminiscent to Plague of Darkness.)

While the name could use some dramatic flair, I think this could be the missing #5 skill Anet is looking for. Yeah, yeah, they say they want a “shadowy DoT”. But this skill would appeal to all necromancers regardless of how they’ve traited, and would give the class a projectile defense that is so very needed.

Would a skill like this be OP? I’d love to get some feedback on this.

Would make soloing GL incredibly easy. I kind of feel its very op even if you increased the cooldown. As much as i would like projectile reflect/block i think enough classes have it and i dont think it really fits the necro.

Rising bile like condition.
