What Skill Would You Bring Back From GW1 rebranded for GW2

[Gabriel of Engels.2673]

If you could bring a skill back from GW1 and have it slightly tweaked for a class in Gw2 what would it be? I think Ray of Judgment would be cool mainly because I just miss smiting things with huge columns of glowing light. ( I don't think the GW2 skill has the same visual it did before - correct me if I am wrong)

[Orimidu.9604]

Double Dragon to help melee Elementalists be a tad more viable with multiple targets. Hopefully Anet has that in their back pocket for that inevitable Cantha expansion.

None really. GW2 is a totally different game. I refuse to nominate any Guild Wars skill because I fear that the current dev team would turn it into yet another GW2 carricature skill version.

I prefer the current Anet v.2 team do their own thing in this game instead of trying to reinvent things they don't understand/agree with.

Ray of Judgement is no longer the celestial SolarBeam it was in GW1, but the Dragonhunter skill [Light's Judgement](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Light%27s_Judgment "Light's Judgement") is!

 

I would pull one of the most broken possible skills: "I Will Avenge You!"

Just for fun? [Panic](https://guildwiki.gamepedia.com/Panic "Panic") !! Imagine a skill like that in WvW.

[Ashen.2907]

I miss D-Shot.

All the Monk skills - along with the actual profession. :3

 

In particular the smiting skills, since we already have healing and protection in the game. Gimme a Martial Arts Monk already! <3

I'd like Panic as a mesmer world boss skill. Like the final boss at the Temple of Lyssa.

Migraine. Oh boy.

This was one of my first thoughts.

 

The second was IWAY.

 

I might just want to watch WvW suffer a new type of pain though....

Honestly, just because the name cracks me up every time: https://guildwiki.gamepedia.com/Lively_Was_Naomei

 

On the whole, I miss my old Monk's upkeep spells, Still don't get quite the same feeling from the Rev's variants.
