Guild Wars 2

Yeah tbh I was kind of expecting the new heal skill to be something similar to warriors healing surge. Only it recharged lifeforce. But then we got that abomination called vampiric signet.

It would be great if we could just use any regular skill in the elite slot.

I wan’t Vital Persistence trait to be buffed up to 100% degeneration reduction xd

Just make a new Spectral Skill that is an elite.

Recharge lifeforce to full and give stability.

Instantly solves our lifeforce and stab problems in pvp and gives us stab from a non transform source.

Make it so it gives you an unremovable buff that restores 10% LF per second over 10 seconds, and stability for 10 seconds. Allows you to buff it with spectral CD, and +duration/effectiveness, and also Gluttony, plus since it goes over time it allows you (like other spectral skills) to jump into DS while it is active.

How about this:
Make signet of undeath into an elite skill.
Then buff the passive LF generation (maybe 1% / sec, open for discussion )
and make the active give a chunk of LF (15-20%) while also reviving team mates in 600 radius. The numbers are just arbitrary here and balance discussion needed to adjust.

So basically it would become the lovechild of warriors signet + warbanner elite.

Other than that I believe this game either needs a lot more low CD elite skills or allow us to equip normal utilities in elite slots.

life force spectral elite skill – Your attacks generate double life force for 10 seconds and gain you Regen+Stability for its duration. (the two boons you lack with spectral skills).

Skill-name: Foot in the grave.

I wish the spectral walk would give you life force for the distance you walk in it

There’s a trait called foot in the grave…….

I always thought this would be a great idea too! Especially since, because of how powerful the active is, it’s the kind of skill that HAS to have a long cooldown whether it’s in an elite or a utility slot (otherwise you win every team fight ever). So it fits with the game’s philosophy of elites that are basically just a very long recharge iwin button.

The passive DEFINITELY needs a buff if it were an elite, it’s pathetic. The active could be made elite-worthy in 2 ways: either reduce its cast time down to 1.5" so you can pre-empt a stomp (and increase its aoe a bit cause it’s incredbily hard to target), or, preferably, turn it into something like the elementalist’s Glyph of Renewal: long cast time, but revives allies in aoe within 1,200 of you. That way even if you can’t cast it faster than a stomp you can start pre-casting when your ally is about to go down, and because it’s a huge pbaoe you don’t need to ground-target – just be near where they’re dying.

Just give us Protective Spirit which refreshes on being hit, gives LF and boosts siphons by 100%.

Or maybe like the Guardian’s virtue recharge elite, but instead it recharges 25% of lifeforce?

Could be like an “oh kitten” button on a 3 min cooldown.

Had another great idea:

Spectral Form: [Spectral] CD: 90
become the spectre for 3 seconds, granting immunity to damage and increase movement speed by 50%. Also gain 4% life force per second.

Yes, I just decided necros need mist form that gives LF as an elite skill.

I think anything that boosts LF or Siphoning would be a really good addition to the toolkit
