Guild Wars 2

I posted this in another thread:

What about a new dot type that if not removed in a certain amount of time turns the person its on into a minion/zombie that attacks anything nearby friendly or not :p or turns them into like a plaguebearer that will explode and put conditions on nearby allies. Like this http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Moa_Morph but with the effects i listed above

and then it hit me the dot should be called the walking dead :P glad i could solve this so soon lol :P

… I’m afraid not. That would be incredibly OP, and a nightmare to put into the game.

Well okay but the Moa morph is in the game so just change the animation to a zombie and presto?

It isn’t good gameplay. The only counterplay is to spam condition removal until it is off, and god forbid you manage to actually get it to proc. I’ve got another great idea, what if I make a zerg of a bunch of Necros and hammer warriors/guardians. They run in and CC the bejeezus out of everything while the group of Necros run around planting DS 5 and epidemic’ing it.

But yeah, from a gameplay standpoint this wouldn’t be implemented.

OKay take out the plaguebarrier part and causing the then transformed person to attack everyone around them. They would just be a zombie with abilites like the Moa i mean that ability is already in the game.

No, the Moa is an elite on a 180 second CD that transforms someone for 10 seconds. They don’t attack allies, they don’t do anything extra, they get access to a few meh abilities, and they can just run away. It is nothing more than a 10 second complete shutdown of a character. What you are listing is greatly outside the bounds of the Moa, which is already a really annoying ability.
