Looks promising ;) +watch :P <HORSEDROWNER> 13:22, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Idea

For your primary attribute, what about something that makes Shaman skills (and hexes?) last longer. Always wanted something like that ;) <HORSEDROWNER> 15:46, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

had no idea myself so i took that ^ ^ --Cursed Angel 06:47, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Nope

I dont know if you thought of this, but hallucinations and illusions are one and the same. You're basically creating a mix of a necro and mesmer. This is create, not mix. --Lustre Of Havoc 22:54, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

except the part where hallucinations are visual effects and illusion magic just health degen and movement/casting slowing hexes. --Cursed Angel 10:38, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

I don't like Lustre at all. He should make one so we can criticize.

Hey Angel, I probably already said something like this in the gw2 suggestions area. I thought the hallucinations could pop up and attack the target, but the target is the only one who can see it. 15e 2c 3r - Target foe experiences a lvl 3...12...13 goblin hallucination. This hallucination is dispelled if attacked. So you can spam 4 goblins on an unskilled monk and watch him lose focus and die. Level 13s would do like 15 - 25 damage a hit. Another idea is 10e 2c 22r - Target foe experiences a goblin hallucination. This hallucination deals 6...32...36 damage with its attacks, is immune to spells and has 10...50...60 health. It'd just be funny as watching someone running in circles away from nothing.

I love the idea. Your call. -- Spawn ‎ Legacy 14:59, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

"Shamanic Illness" Hallucination. Target foe moves 66% slower and witness 4 level 1...3...3 spirits which deals 3...13...15 damage summon at that foes location. This Hallucination ends when each of the spirits have died.

I thought of something like this, the victim (and only the victim) see 4 spirits around himself and something like low drunk-effect but more red and dark. He'd still be able to do anything else but the spirits wont die on their own so to get free he'd have to kill them, and you'd be able to use antimelee or interrupt/blind him for great justice. don't know how to write it correctly without having a wall of text, and i don't know how to balance it. I'll see later but I have some ideas, no worries! --Cursed Angel 19:50, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Gallowsong and soul affliciton (especially) are OP. Pls fix. -- NUKLEAR IIV 17:16, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Guess what, I don't care. I believe I have a right to state my opinion. Go ahead and hate me. Illusions and Hallucinations are the same. Both are false images produced by the brain. --Lustre Of Havoc 23:47, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Not in Guild Wars. Destructive criticism is worthless to the creater and the reader. -- Spawn ‎ Legacy 11:09, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

If you can't take any kind of criticism, you really are a softy. I should have suspected you guys would whine about it if I didn't like your idea, especially since the idiot said hallucinations and illusions are different. Children these days... --Lustre Of Havoc 18:07, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

oh ure such a mean troll, i rly take offense and will go cut myself --Cursed Angel 18:25, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Good, glad I could make you hurt. Now go post a video crying about some celebrity on YouTube. --Lustre Of Havoc 18:59, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Leave Cursed Angel alone, NOW!! -- Spawn ‎ Legacy 09:25, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

I suppose Cursed is aware that "hallucination" is a synonym for "illusion". he didn't talk about rl. when saying "hallucinations, creating visible effects", he refered to the window appearance in the game, possibly similar to being drunk, and with "illusion magic" to the skill effects of that attribute. "Ulcerous Lungs" for example is actually also only a "condition", but in the game it's treated as a hex. Game terms cannot be directly adopted as such for rl. That's true for likely every game, there's really no reason to get steamed about this... —ZerphaThe Improver 10:59, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Lustre is steamed because he's a flame in hot water. Hah quite punny. -- Spawn ‎ Legacy 13:10, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Oh yes, you guys are so cool ganging up together against one guy. I'm just so puny underneath all of your superiority. --Lustre Of Havoc 22:57, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Look, i rly don't care, ure just making urself look even more terrible. I don't know u, i don't know what argument ure trying so hard to win, this isn't even about u being butthurt with no friends, it's a page for feedback that I'd rly could need instead of whatever ure trying to do. --Cursed Angel 23:23, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

I was kinda having fun.. On a related note. Woo Skillz! -- Spawn ‎ Legacy 12:59, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

what i meant to express with my comment was that this dispute is based on a misunderstanding. Sorry Lustre if it appeared offensive to you. I also admit that i was favoring Cursed in there, for the reason that you left the first comment that appeared dissentious to me. —ZerphaThe Improver 12:40, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

u didn't say anything offensive, he's just joking. anyway, i uploaded new images but it keeps showing the old at random, when does that end..? --Cursed Angel 15:46, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

the Siege Mentality icon is showing up with a more orange coloring for me now. —ZerphaThe Improver 12:33, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

I just thought I'd try to clear this up without spreading the hate. :P The distinction between hallucinations and illusions is extremely important in phychiatry, because it can help differentiate between mental illnesses. The major difference is whether there is a stimulus involved or not.

Illusions are basically the misinterpretation of a sensory stimulus. For example, a person is looking at what is actually a pencil, but thinks it is a live snake. There is a physical stimulus present (the pencil), but the person sees it as something that it's not (a snake), and is therefore misinterpreted.

Hallucinations are the perception of a stimulus where none is present. A good example of that would be a schizophrenic patient is seeing a small child (think A Beautiful Mind), but in fact nothing is there. The person is sensing something (the child), but there is no actual stimulus. Note that this doesn't have to be a visual stimulus, but can involve any of the 5 senses (e.g. hearing voices).

I hope that clears this discussion up, as if it really needed to be in the first place (a month later, no less). ;) --tero 17:42, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm stealing your boxes

Thanks a lot, mate. I really needed these. -- NUKLEAR ^IIV 13:31, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Wooooooooow. You did it without categories, templates and 36 useless individual pages. God I'm an idiot. -- Spawn ‎ Legacy 14:43, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Signet of affliction

A skill that..spreads...disease? Doesn't disease do that? ~Shard 16:24, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

He stole my skill mechanic!!! -- NUKLEAR ^IIV 17:06, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

shard it's a new skill mechanic, suprisingly similar to nukes new skill mechanic with the same name he came up with 3 days after me. it's there to give the opponent team a warning before the hallucination begins, it can be removed and, also spread so u can spread the hallucination it may cause for great justice. --Cursed Angel 00:20, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Mine is infinitly more detailed and more different. Kthnx. -- NUKLEAR ^IIV 08:22, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Um, Epidemic, anyone? Only this just spreads disease and not all conditions.- Vanguard 00:20, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Wrath of the heavens

Is utter shit. 5% is so horribly shit. -- NUKLEAR ^IIV 11:25, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Was just about to say... Is there any reason why its so low? -- Spawn ‎ Legacy 14:38, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

judge's insight and Heart of Holy Flame dervishes as it can affect the whole party since pvp areas are pretty small... but i could buff it up some --Cursed Angel 14:46, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Skill Icons

...Look really great. Congrats on those - they're better than many (most, even) of the real Guild Wars skill icons. Erasculio 16:06, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Mindrust is the sexiest skill icon ever. I'd dearly love to know where u get your inspiration/edittable images. -- Spawn ‎ Legacy 10:21, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

I would like to know what you used to make them. --Antioch 00:21, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

photoshop elements from like 95... --Cursed Angel 08:30, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

So...

trances completely reward passive play? -- NUKLEAR IIV 12:53, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

a few hallucinations just require u to stand still and sort of... maintain it. --Cursed Angel 12:59, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Tbh, you need more active skills. -- NUKLEAR IIV 13:56, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

I like this.

It looks like something that could actually function as an in-game profession.- Vanguard 00:16, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Puppet Master

That's a fancy idea. But don't you think that 15s is OP? you can't do anything either, but other than completely taking out the foe, you can even use him/her to bother his team mates. Just imagine you use this on a flag runner for example.^^
Btw, in the current form, you can control you opponent, but you'll still see him from your character's perspective. is this intended? —ZerphaThe Improver 16:07, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

How do you know that? -- NUKLEAR IIV 16:48, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

"For 3...13...15 seconds, you leave your body in trance, your skill bar is replaced by target foe's skills and attribute points [...]

Up to this part, the skill would work like Arcane Thievery for your entire skill bar (including changed attributes)

[...] and you control that foe's movement and skill activation."

When reding this part it becomes clear that the previous skill mechanics are actually not meant to change your bar, rather lose control of it and instead take over the control of the target's bar. It's also mentioned that you control his movement, but it isn't mentioned anywhere that your camera perspective changes to that of the foe. :P —ZerphaThe Improver 17:00, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

basically u lose complete control over urself (can't move so u cannot cancel the trance, just watch urself die) to take control over a foe. it's meant to be seen from ur own camera, since u sort of control him from distance... but yeh it's a kinda op 15 sec elite blackout :/ might be nerfed when i get the skills done. --Cursed Angel 23:42, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Anyways, chosing Raptors as boss refering to his sockpuppets is genious! xD —ZerphaThe Improver 12:38, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

lol, this is slight super OP. Any sac skills would immediately be terminated, you simply take over the foe and sac to death. Same with elementalists. Cancel cast until you reach 0 energy and exaustion 90% of your bar. Cancel casts would thus be able to rend eles, wars (because of tiny energy regen) and most casters useless for ages afterwards without a BiP necro, which makes sac to death ever more viable. Basically you are making a skill that does this:

For 3...13...15 seconds target foe does nothing and probably ragequits. For another 3-22 seconds (22 seconds being how long it would take a caster to get 30 energy, 3 being the amount of time it would take to get 5 energy) target foe cannot activate skills requiring energy. For those 3...13...15 seconds both you and the foe take +100% damage and both die.

Yea, maybe its just me, or is being able to easily kill a foe every 30 seconds pretty OP? This is because: 1. You can simply run right away from all healers and thus die in like 4 seconds. 2. Do the above with their healer, effectively killing him without their team being able to do anything about it.

This would be worse than making Ursan PvP. It is worse than buffing Ursan to 1000 damage and making it PvP. In fact, it means all players woiuld just run a team with this as their main core and no monk (why monk when they can simply possess your monk). It would turn PvP into just who has a faster connection and thus can cast it while the opponents are lagging, then press 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and kill the foe in 5 seconds.

My skills

I've updated my skills page with two shaman skills. I still need icons though :P <HORSEDROWNER> 07:16, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

they're pretty good, mind if i use them..? --Cursed Angel 08:29, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Sure, it's your profession after all :P <HORSEDROWNER> 10:05, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Enchanting is broken. -- NUKLEAR IIV 14:56, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

maybe lose 3 energy each enchantment should be more in line, I'll see. --Cursed Angel 21:13, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Woot

Woot, I'm another boss :D — ク Eloc 貢 00:35, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Oo, nice! Apparently I'm not reknown enough for Cursed to think "Hmm, how could I fit Vanguard into a boss?" :P - Vanguard 00:40, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

yeh i thought about it, you, DE, Armond and maybe Anja but i couldn't rly come up with a boss name with Vanguard in it :/ got 2 more elites to go tho. --Cursed Angel 00:52, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Theresa the Degenerate? H of the Darkness? Couple simple, stupid ideas I got. I haz characters, j00 know. Vanguard is more a faction than a person. - Vanguard 00:55, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

yeh I'll see, now i need 3 icons and some wall of text about the profession, and i have no idea what to write and it feels stupid. but i rly want that Celestial Compass for my monk :/ --Cursed Angel 01:21, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

I want a LOT of those skills... But the "Disease" attribute keeps confusing me with the Disease condition.- Vanguard 01:23, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

:O

It would be very interesting if the current GW engine could support skills like Time Stop. Dare we to dream? Tyloric 06:26, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

It would also be tremendously broken. Sure, you can dream, but to me, It'll stay a nightmare. -- NUKLEAR IIV 09:17, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Noooo Kidding.
