Guild Wars 2

Torch oh:
SKILL 1
shadow fire: aoe fire blast (insert aoe dmg) at your target location and blind for 3 secs(4if traited)
SKILL 2
spectral apparition: gain spectral armor for 3-4secs and fear nearby foes for 1sec
Trait>> crypt wonderer: condition duration is improved while wielding a torch, 20% recharge of torch skills

Sword mh:
AA:
necrotic cut: deals ‘insert cleave dmg’
necrotic strike: deals ‘insert cleave dmg’ and inflicts 3sec of torment
vampiric slash: your third attack steals ‘insert low/average number’ life up to 3 foes
SKILL 2
haunting walk: effect one: shadowstep to your foe chilling him for 1sec ; effect two: pull your foe to yourself
SKILL 3
verata’s cry: steals ‘insert aoe amount’ life and chill nearby foes for 3secs
Trait>>> (Spite) necrotic blade: +50 power and +50 condition dmg while wielding a sword

Everything could be balanced with proper recharge times.
Thoughts?

p.s: animation effects
shadow fire: same as fire blast from the fire sigil, except green or if possible, darks flames like the ones of DS
spectral apparition: same as spectral armor and the regular fear animation
vampiric slash: same as necrotic bite, but for all targets maybe
haunting walk: the step same as lupicus; the pull would have no animation or maybe a subtle ‘vine effect’ as in tainted shackles
verata’s cry: a necromancer/lich image appears briefly on top of your char, while all chilled targets suffer a white ‘cold wind’ effect for a sec.

I don’t know if it’s a bug or if it’s intended, but either way I’d like Temporal Curtain to effectively refresh swiftness duration, just like any other swiftness skill in the game.

Moonrabbit.1543:

Wow. So this suggests that taking compounding power or empowering mantras is much less valuable than taking empowered illusions and phantasmal strength. However, I do not think it is feasible to take empowered illusions and phantasmal strength and still get phantasmal haste.

I use a 10/30/0/30/0 build with empowering mantras and 3 mantras, so I can have better damage on auto attacks and still hard hitting phantasms (empowered illusions + phantasmal strength + 100 in power).
I try to balance the lack of illusionist celerity with blade training and warden’s feedback since I use sword and focus oh. That said I don’t really miss phantasmal haste when using sword oh, since the trait suposedly doesn’t work on ISwordman. Now for IDuelist, that’s another story… Still, +30% dmg that’s not too bad I guess.
