Talk:List of removed skills

Who found the duration of each skill? O_o", and how do you know its correct or true? :S Aljazya 18:09, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Update notes from the betas most likely. - HeWhoIsPale 18:10, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Oh lols I never thought of that Hmmm...., where can those be found I wonder :P Aljazya 18:13, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

I hope we'll see some of this skills in GW1... but i think its just a daydream, nobody of ANet cares about GW1 anymore :( e.g. The EotN "Armors" -.- Same poly, different skin oO... Same: In Factions a Bard was planed, we'll never see one in GW1 i think... with a bard, there would be an use for some necro spells, that are nearly useless right now, same is "Equinox" totaly useless for an elite skill. http://www.angelfire.com/wa2/xia/images/GW2Cha006.jpg --80.121.109.34 23:15, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Why arnt these skills in the list?

This just recently appeared and I would like to know why they were never implemented or put in the "removed" list. http://www.gamespot.com/pages/unions/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=24013028&union_id=139 --Patch 22:52, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

According to that thread they have been "confirmed as fakes".- TheRave 23:03, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

y did they removed these skills?--BTR 00:06, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

When removed, what happened?

If you knew one of these skills when it was removed from the game, what happened? Did aNet give you a skill point or replace it with another skill? 24.188.207.20 05:23, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

It's not like they remove the skill from the released game. The skills were never released in the first place, and from the looks of it, a few didn't even make beta (read: REMOVE). IIRC, ANet can't remove any skills from the game, so what they do is nerf the fuck out of it. --Riddle 06:12, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Explanation

It would be nice if someone from Anet decided to give us a little insight into the historical info... I'd like to know why a lot of these skills were trashed officially. Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ аІiсә ѕνәи Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ 04:23, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Balancing was probably the reason. You know, making sure every proffesion got the same ammount of skills? Not that it worked out anyway.--71.193.48.146 04:24, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

But the decisions on which skills were included, is what AaS probably means. I'm curious too, but they're not likely to read it here. Might want to try a staff member's Feedback talk page. Sorry to say I wouldn't know which staff member. --Kyoshi (Talk) 04:31, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

I would say ask Linsey or Emily - they probably wouldn't know the exact answer, but they can direct you to someone who does or find out. -~=Ϛρѧякγ (τѧιк) 04:50, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Can we?

Have these skills back :D? Most of them are pretty cool and pretty balanced and they can make they game a bit more fun & "Juicy" while we wait endlessly for GW2 to come out --Requiem 15:18, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Bloodletting would be pretty cool with the new blood spells (barbed signet, etc.), but half of them aren't done or are ridiculous. Check out the pet skills section. Those would be pretty useless in the current game. Karate Jesus 00:03, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

I also find Accelerated Growth, Borrowed Energy, Boon of the Gods, Confusion, Dissipation, Energy Font, Lightning Storm, Mimic, Mirror of Delusions, any REMOVE, Verata's Promise & Weapon of Mastery very interesting dont you? --Requiem 00:54, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Borrowed Energy would be nice if it didn't have such a high energy cost.Durga Dido 01:09, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

They're all fine ideas, but in their current form they'd be useless in the game right now. They'd have to be heavily reworked, and I'd much rather Anet actually try to balance the skills we have rather than add more imbalanced (whether weak or OP) ones. However, I would like to see another Mesmer elite (since they have 1 less than all the other original professions). Karate Jesus 04:29, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Removed PvP/PvE Skill-versions

Should Ritual Lord (PvP) (and other removed skills) be added to this list, or perhaps create a new list of implimented skills that were removed via updateds? --Falconeye 19:35, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

And 10 months later with no reply; initiating the BOLD-policy! ^_^ --Falconeye 07:21, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Conversation continued here for those may be interested. -- Konig/talk 08:45, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
