The Skill Ideas Thread

  Throw(Giant Only): Grabs an enemy and allows you to slam it against the ground slash wall or towards another enemy.
  EvadeShot: Dive to the side while shooting an arrow
  Kick: When equipped with a bow, press spacebar while targeting a very close enemy to knock them back
  Windmill: Lower the hp cost! XD
  Wings of Eclipse+Rage (I think that's what they're called): Instead of surrounding you with crows, turn the wings black and have them cover you a bit, and to use rage, have the crows fly out of your wings (I just think that'd look cooler)
  Shotgun: Quickly load the bow with a few arrows and fire them, normal range speed but short range

  If I were to make a skill, I would make a skill that would make it able to dodge things such as Red Dragon continous fire.
  
  Instead of Evasion, I'd make something that made someone be able to teleport to a certain place, sort of like Final Shot, but it would take MP, just like that Little Mini Ghost's teleportation, except that you could use it yourself.
  You'd be able to teleport more distance the higher you rank the skill.

  That is the ONLY thing holding Windmill back from being overpowered. Well, it's already a BIT overpowered, but that'd put it over the top.
  
  Throw for Giants sounds cool (Vindictus anybody?)
  Kick.........I'd rather just have a psycho arrow that blows up instantly.
  Shotgun sounds too gun-like for a bow. I like the idea though.
  
  I have no clue what Wings of Ecipse/Rage looks like, so I'm utterly clueless on that one.

  the Throw thing was another thing I've wanted that I completely forgot about xD always thought giants should be able to throw maybe even enemy corpses (more damage the bigger the enemy is)
  
  Evade Shot sounds alot like it'd make a nice Ranged Counterattack, that only works if you use ranged equipment (doesn't add enemy damage to the equation)
  
  and I think the Wings of Rage+Eclipse idea is basically the same as it is now cept the crows you use in Eclipse can go attack when you use Wings of Rage, or at least the animations
  cause it'd be kinda inconvenient if the crows left you and another enemy aggros you in that time

  Brain Blast! (Props if you know where that came from)
  
  Melee: Power Slash (Human only) - Concentrate all your power into your blade, and strike at the enemy with extreme force
  (Performs a single slash that cannot be countered, or defended against, blasts back the enemy, usable with Shield + Sword, Dual Wield, or Two-handed)
  
  Rank F - 100% Damage. 30 Stamina used, 5 second load time, cooldown 60 seconds
  
  Rank 5 - 200% Damage. 40 Stamina used, 3 second load time, cooldown 90 seconds
  
  Rank 1 - 250% Damage. 50 Stamina used, 1.5 second load time, cooldown 120 seconds
  
  Melee: Finishing Blow (Giant only) - When the enemy is stunned, they cannot move or do anything for a short period of time. One can use this short amount of time to deal incredible damage to the enemy
  (Can be performed mid-combo, as long as the enemy is stunned. No load time, simply press the hotkey and it will activate - Skill changes depending on weapon. One handed weapons will simply use an attack that sends the enemy flying across the room. Two handed weapons (GIANT Two-handed weapons, such as the Broad Axe) will bash the enemy on the head, causing them to bounce in place. Dual wield will perform an X-Slash that sends the enemy flying across the room)

  (Must only be used while in Hide. Does not work in PvP (Players will still see and target you). When used, Hide will automatically cancel, and you'll be able to attack the enemy normally with a combo, without the enemy responding. After a set time limit, you'll automatically go back into Hide, and the enemy will notice you, but will not aggro. Upon canceling Hide, the enemy will instantly aggro)
  
  Rank F - Timer: 10 seconds, cooldown 300 seconds. Damage per hit 50% (Halved damage)
  
  Rank 5 - Timer: 30 seconds, cooldown 250 seconds. Damage per hit 100% (Normal damage)

  Sprint(passive): Movement speed increases. (Humans only)
  ._.

  
  
  Why not simply make an action call 'dash' or whatnot, for humans only? It'll be similiar to the hide action of elf but only drains stam instead? It would make human run temp. the same speed as elf unless wearing heavy armor? [then it'll be the speed of a giant?]. Just loses the cooldown time when hit/attacking. Instead makes the skill unusable once cancel for 1min.
  
  @Dracius : ME LOVE THE IDEA :XD: :2thumb:
  
  You just need a giant storyline. ._.
  It should also be a one whole new generation in which a dungeon harder then peaca appears :P
  [If anyone play vindictus, they could possible connect the storylines together]
  Maybe located southwest of emain, [south of tara/west of sen mag hch]
  
  Slighly off topic*
  
  Why not new weapons o.o
  - Rapier: very fast, 4-hit, 1-hand (can't be duel wield, human/elf only], high min, low max, high crit, high balance? Can't smash or assult slash, instead have their own unique skill set.
  - Sai: elf only dagger, fast, 1-hand (can be duel wield by elf) - low max, low-min, high balance, high crit.
  - Elemental mines:
  

  Water (ice mines)
  Fire (flame mine, burst explosion and acts like fireball. Uses a fireball crystal to make)
  Air (Gale mine, low damage, knockback then deaggros the monster. Created with thunder crystal)
  Earth (Quake mine, high damage, short radius, creating random amount of barrier spikes. Uses barrier spike to make)
  - Quick reload cylinder? - can't charge to 5 charge. can be upgrade to have increase load speed. Can't use heat buster. uh only thought this far :what:
  

  
  
  We can sure use more xbow weapons, more knuckles (or human/elf version of 'knuckles'). They only made cylinder larger, why not smaller and compact with their own uniqueness?
  
  Back to topic~
  
  ~ Knockback - usually only when equiped with bow/xbow ~ can 'melee attack' with bow/xbow. damage is base on skill rank [percentage of max/min, with N: 10%, r1: 90%]. can be toggle on and off. auto actived when one runs out of arrows. [doesnt seem balance, still trying to improve the idea]
  ~ Throw Shot - giant only skills, acts like giant's magnum with lower damage output then throw attack but can splash splash damage.
  ~ Lunge - rapier only skill. Subsitute of assult slash
  ~ Thrust - rapier only skill. Subsitute of smash
  ~ Someone mention elemental infusion, simply want to expand the idea with possible 'end attack/cancel attack' - when infused onto weapon, if one uses 'assult slash' it will cause the respected element attack to active and element to dissipate:
  

  
  Lightningbolt : Trailing lighting bolt infront our you that does low damage, but stuns the enemy.
  Firebolt : Large blast radius with mid-damage, short radius and stuns.
  Icebolt : Ice spikes appear infront causing high damage and knockback on enemy infront.
  

  
  It damage base on the rank of elemental infusion, stun is base on user weapon.
  ~ Water stream (alch) - similar to flame burst, however it can only target 1 monster and will aggro that 1 monster. Can only be actived similar to Heat burst.
  ~ Vaccum (alch) - wind base alch, that 'vaccum' monsters infront of you toward youself. If there more then one monster caught by this skill, they'll be stun, and damage. They also reset aggro upon the person using the skill, similar to taunt. Can only be actived similar to Heat burst.
  [sacrifice for the team :awesome: ]

  Rank 1 OLD SKILL -> Can no longer rank
  
  Rank F NEW SKILL -> Can rank, same power as Rank 1 OLD SKILL
  
  The Rank F of the new skills allow you to rank it up even further.
  
  They're also obviously going to make new transformations for the new skill too.
  
  @Chaosruler: How about having the Rapier be the opposite of a Lance? Let it have an extremely long combo (7+), but loses exactly 1 dura with Smash and Assault Slash. After performing a full combo, have the player slow down to a walk for a short while (Due to the combo being exhausting), except for Elves, whose agility alows them to quickly recover.
  
  The Rapier is mainly a weapon designed to do a barrage of slashes that stun the enemy for a long time, but does low damage. It can't be used with a shield, as it would impend the movement of the blade.
  
  While we're talking about weapons, how about we make Crossbows more unique somehow?
• Dixon wrote on 2011-04-05 18:04

  Although early rapiers did have sharp edges, the sword was meant almost exclusively as a thrusting weapon. It is theorized that the sharp edges on early rapiers were used to discourage opponents from grabbing the weapon with their off hand, although there is some evidence that the edges also allowed the sword to slide into a body more easily. That said, there is also evidence that early rapier wielders did use the edges to slash, but the type of rapiers they used were probably closer to their side-sword cousins than to the rapier in it’s prime.
