Write your own new ability suggestion

Write your own imaginary new ability/ultimate. Explain how it'd work and why it seems cool. Blue sky, people, blue sky - we aren't developers, we don't have to really program these. And no criticizing or commenting on others ideas (yeah...that's going to happen). Let's try to make a thread of cool dream ability ideas.

    Class: Nightblade
    Skill line: shadow
    Name: nocturnal's retreat

    Draw upon the power of Nocturnal to shroud yourself in shadow and create two intangible doppelgängers who mirror your escape in opposite directions. Effect lasts 4 seconds and also grants Major Evasion.

    Explanation: as soon as a player initiates this ability, there are suddenly three of them, one "real" player and two false ones. All three look exactly the same. The fake ones would mimic the actual player exactly, but in opposite directions based on ability spawn point. In other words, if I activate and run due north I have one shade running southeast and one running southwest. If I press an attack, they mimic, creating confusion and Illusion. Shades don't deal damage...they're just an illusion.

    Morphs: 1. Nocturnal's revenge, attacking a doppelgänger snares an enemy and applies the poison status effect. 2. nocturnal's wrath: at the end of the effect the doppelgängers explode, dealing 500 magic damage.

    Why it would be cool: I like the idea of Nightblades splitting into three and tearing off in all directions. It keeps with the mystical illusionist element to the class.

    Why it won't happen: the animation requirements would likely be massive, and I can't imagine what a fight with 20 NBs pulling this would look like.

    As for pet's There is so much I would do:

    For one, they would attack every second rather than 2. Currently the 2 second attack rate means if your target moves to cause any pet miss or move it completely destroys dps or even the possibility of using Daedric prey.

    Daedric Prey needs to be a minimum 75% boost to pet attacks, as is Curse out dps Prey unless every pet (including atro) hits every attack at every possibility for the whole duration of Daedric Prey, which is extremely rare.

    For consoles, Pets should attack locked on target, easy nuff.

    I am ok with pets not stealthing, makes sense to a degree.

    The exploding imp thing is destroyed by the dmg reduction in pvp, and eclipsed by Clannfear. (Think about it, even at 60k magicka he only blows up for 6k absolutely abysmal.

    Instead Imp how about something that aggros and debuffs enemy? Maybe give pet something like 20% chance during attack to induce fear on target enemy.

    As is pet's are only really good for soloing dungeons.

    A nightblade ability that gives me a massive rainbow trail and allows me to streak away and fire laz0rs and jeebus beams in all directions while I gloriously teleport away into the sunset as my enemies perish in my light. It also drops supernovas in the shape of a pentagram and the words "hail hydra" are written in flames in the sky.

    I've always thought the assault/support needed more skills, rank 50 is max but a lot of those ranks are useless

    Maybe a passive like 10% more siege dmg, 10% faster siege reload time etc...

    Increases wpn/spell dmg by 2% for everyone in your group(doesn't stack with the same buff)

    Things like that.

    Racial skills.

    For example. Give argonians a skill to call on the power of the hist tree to do xxx. Or Dark Elves with an ultimate called Vivecs Doom. Or a Nord ultimate using Ysgramors axe to be an aoe knockdown. Far fetched but would add some more diversity to the game.

    How about weapon ultimates?

    For example

    Destruction Staff:

    (insert creative name)

    (insert balanced but powerful aoe)

    morph 1

    (insert creative name similar but different from the first)

    (does more damage)

    morph 2

    (*same as deal as the first morphs name)

    (bigger radius)

    ....and make the ultimates unlock at higher levels for weapons (50)

    You got two guys, and they're in a temple, and they're having a fight. One guy activates his thing, and SWOOSH they're suddenly fighting at the edge of a volcano instead.

    The other guy, the one who got swooshed upon, he's like "woah-uh-oh!" and he's tipping back and forth, trying not to topple over into the volcano at all costs. Spoiler alert: he does. He friggin falls in. That's the end of the battle -- or is it? It isn't.

    The guy who fell in, he activates his thing, and the volcano turns into an ancient frozen ice cave, impossibly mysterious, except get a load of this: the cave is crumbling down. Both of them are like "huh-uh-UH?" and it's starting to look like the fight could go either way, but both of these guys get cut the heck down by 22k worth of camo hunter, although they're not vamps. The skill is called "Escape From Blood Mountain," and everyone has it.

    Skill Name: Hush
    Costs: Magicka
    Duration: 40 seconds
    Effect: Invoke guerilla warfare tactics to silence the sounds produced by abilities and melee attacks, as well as granting Minor Expedition.

    Morph: Vow of Silence
    Effect: Invoke guerilla warfare tactics to create an aura of absolute silence, preventing spellcasting in a 5m AoE around the caster for 5 seconds. While ability is active, caster is unable to cast any spells. Duration reduced to 5 seconds.

    Morph: Chameleon
    Effect: Invoke guerilla warfare tactics to silence the sounds produced by abilities and melee attacks, as well as granting Minor Expedition. In addition, while active, the caster's alliance affiliation is hidden from enemy players.

    Reasoning: Hush is an ability catered to stealth play, silencing the sounds of abilities and attacks. Though this doesn't directly offer any direct stat advantages (Other then 8% faster movement), the ability to mask the sounds produced by abilities is invaluable in inducing panic in opposing fighters, which thereby equates into a Combat advantage. The effect is melee only to prevent cheesing by snipers from 40m away.

    The morph Chameleon enhances the panic effect that the base ability induces while the other morph Vow of Silence turns the ability into a direct combat tactical choice to prevent spellcasting by both the caster and victim for a short duration.

    This one does not advocate for any class to be nerfed. There are far deeper underlying issues then a simple "Class Imbalance". The Champion System is the problem. Not classes.

    Lucky: I'll be fine with that if NBs get:

    Skill: Reflecting of Whining

    Shroud yourself in mist and plug your ears to all unnecessary griping about Nightblades.

    Morph: Teach the Unwilling: ignores whining, plus upon kill automatically emails helpful suggestions to murdered, like "carry detection potions from now on," "you took off your defense abilities because you want to hit harder and that's why you die," or "maybe if you didn't horse alone you wouldn't die so much."

    Morph: Show the ignorant: ignores whining, plus upon kill sends other player into stealth for 5 seconds to show them that they actually have this ability and can use it to fend off frequent NB deaths.
