Next Lvl Cap abilites

[JudgePayne]

So I was trying to come up with abilities for the next lvl cap be it 95 or 100 etc.

The ability names can be changed and are place holders.
All numbers can be modified, this is just to get a feel for the abilities.

Have a look and give constructive feedback please.

Keep in mind this would be aimed at the end level of the next expansion.

LvL 95 Abilities:

Death Knight : Ride Horsemen : 3 minute cool down, 70 runic power
The death knight places a mark on the target which counts down from 10,

one after another dealing X damage and applying/refreshing death knight dots and
reducing the target's armour by 50% for 8 seconds.

Paladins too OP to get anything?

[Nexsa]

Paladin: Puke holy rainbows at your enemies.

[Number1gentleman]

Nothing for Paladin?

Paladin : Safe Haven : 15 minutes cooldown.

Hunter : Texidermy : 5 Minute Cooldown
The Hunter creates an exact replica of a friendly target, making them invisible and creating a dummy that will taunt enemy monsters.

Fuck everything else, we need this. I want Whimsyshire from Diablo3 coming out of my paladins every orifice.

ewwwwwwwwwww

[bleh bleh 420 bleh]

I like your shaman idea but here's mine.

(No Name yet)
3m CD
For the next 30seconds when you place a totem a random totem from that class, (i.e. healing tide drops a healing stream), drops next to the placed totem duplicating all healing or damage done. (If used with an elemental totem (name) ends and it is placed on a 7.5min CD

I wanted this mainly for 2x searing/healing stream totems and a 1.5min CD but i quickly realized its OPness lol

[JudgePayne]

healer abilities and paladin added

[Deleted]

Do you want everybody to quit because every rogue kills them and they don't even get the chance to react?

Its going to be hard to add ANOTHER ability to classes especially when some talents are going to be replaced.

If we have abilities added, do NOT:
-Have long cooldown, dps/hps/tank abilities
-Have CC
-Have mobility

I'd like to see rotations changed up, add new niche filling rotation abilities.

[bleh bleh 420 bleh]

Wait, OP, isn't the rogue ability already in game? I think its cloak of shadows?

Since I'm a DK I will comment on the one you created:

after which the four horseman appear around the target and charge the target
one after another dealing X damage and applying/refreshing death knight dots and
reducing the target's armour by 50% for 8 seconds.

Neat but I don't think it's going to be worth it with the huge cooldown or the giant RP cost. Unless the damage is excessive (think like 1m) it couldn't possibly add anything DPS-wise to any spec. The worst part is the armor part - that could force raids to take DK's for the huge bonus to damage by other classes when the boss loses 50% of their armor.

Perhaps if it counted down from 3, dealt 220% weapon damage + scaling AP per disease on the target as shadow/frost (depending on spec) and reduced movement speed by 80%? Then it could be applicable as a dps boost and be useful for PvP. We could have it use one of each rune instead of having a cooldown as that would significantly limit how often it could be used to prevent it from being OP.

In fairness I believe that the rogue ability opens up a lot more diverse play and no I don't think people will quit because a rogue can jump them for a longer period now. I think this gives the other classes a good amount of new abilities to merge into their existing rotations.

Cloak or shadows :Instantly removes all existing harmful spell effects, provides a brief moment of immunity against magical damage and harmful effects, and then causes you to resist all spells for 5 sec. Does not remove effects that prevent you from using Cloak of Shadows.

Not quite the same me thinks.

I think the worse thing about that spell is the fact that the horsemen are death knights.

a DK summoning more DKs. DKception. what if those DKs decide to summon more DKs and those more DKs summon even more? in one global CD you could pretty much crash the server

As I said the numbers are still in the air it was more of a general concept of abilities, but I'm glad you like the design path.

You do understand that shadowdance already reduces the energy cost of Ambush to 40 (not half) and that is the dps cooldown that bursts people for subtlety.

Now imagine that, for 10 seconds, on any ability of the rogues choice.

For PVE though, choices already exist such as T15 (4) set, and adreneline rush for combat rogues.



No to big cooldowns on new abilities, we've had this for several expansions now and its getting out of hand with how many cooldowns we all chain together for fat deeps.

[Gimlix]

I know a better skill for paladins.
They can transform into uther: Uther's Last blessing, how they can call it.
And your damage will increase by 15% and your haste by 30% but you do take 10% more damage.

This a idea? :P

Imagine Dancing Rune Weapon and then using this ability...
