/knife showoff

[Pub-O]

wouldnt it be cool if assasins could have some exclusive show off emote?


I just saw this video and its crazy what you can do with knife if your good:P http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYTpb-QXV0k&feature=Favorites&page=2&t=t&f=b

[MoonUnit]

Intresting video for sure. :grin:

[Siru]

Been there and done that :wink: It's pretty fun to learn and builds up concentration quite a bit.

Not bad idea to have more emotes in GW :thumbsup: I'm all-in for those. No matter what emotes.

[Kjentei]

Well I certainly wasn't expecting that.

[Aretelio]

Would I be out of line if I said that chick turns me on?

[Ehecatzin FlyingCrab]

Its a good idea for an emote...but why leave it just for assasins? you could aplly something like that to each class...what about mesmers doing tricks with a deck of cards?

[Soulse]

Thats sounds like a great idea! What would the other classes show though, I really can't think of one for the warrior (lift weights?, lol j/k).

[Tyrian Arrelius]

First off... Love the vid. and yah any chick that can swing a knife like that better turn you on, but only in secret.

And Secondly... It would be absolutely wonderfull to see the different classes have different "/showoff" emotes.

Assasin - Knife dance is good

Mesmer - The Card trick sounds neat...

Elementalist - Their showoff could be bassed on their armor... such as Pyro... they hold out their hand and make fire... Hydro-ele's can jugle balls of water/snow(wouldnt that be funny out in the dessert).... Earth-ele's turn to stone(i dunno... runnin outta ideas)... Air-ele's can... i dunno do some kinda Raiden like flex where lightning flashes across their body... i dunno...

Necromancer - ... someone's gotta help me here...

Ranger - they could take their bow apart... throw the wooden part and have their pet, come outta no where, and fetch it...:laughing:

Warrior... i guess they could beat the crap outta the nearest NPC... i dunno...

[alchemistsan]

Necro - temporary summon minion doing thriller dance together?

[Pub-O]

These are some great ideas mates. You are more creative than I thought:)

1st off...chics with knives are hot!!!:embarassed:

Elementalist - I would agree she would have to be broken down by type.
Pyromancer: eating fire
Aeromancer: maybe some acrobatics or something

Hydromancer: surfs up...i dunno:sad:

Geomancer: When I picture a geomancer I picture the dorkey kid from Sky High who turns into a huge rock golem looking creature.AWESOME!!

Necromancer - Summon a bone minion to do a dance or something
Assassin - Anything with knives would be cool.
Ritualist - dunno
Monk - he could pray or something
Ranger - Your pet could do a trick or something.(sit up)(play dead)
Warrior - dunno

p.s. This all reminds of fatalities and friendships in Mortal Kombat.

I really wouldn't be that surprised if a knife show or something like it would be the assassins version of /flex. I mean the warrior shows off his muscle and the monk shows off his balance so why not have the assassin show off what he/she's best at?

[Ekrin]

I hope ANet is reading this forum :) i love the ideas. have not seen the video yet because i am in school and that would probally not be a great idea.

[Ubermancer]

Thats my kind of woman!

Note that the female monk shows off her muscles as well. Or lack thereof.

[GaryArmstrong]

just from the top of my mind here..


necromancer-drops a couple of potions, or puts on some goggles, takes out some potions and mixes them only to have it blow up? i see necros as like chemists...

warrior-sharpen their weapons?

ranger-take apart their bows. put them back in a matter of few seconds, showing off that bow expertise if you dont have a pet. Sorta like taking apart a gun in the military

monk-im taking divine boon and make like a ray of light shining down on them.

ritalist-play peek-a-boo.

[Amalek]

If someone finds balisong as an equippable weapon in factions I will cry from joy.

[Reverend Loki]

Good ideas, all.. so of course, I feel compelled to interject my own...

Elementalist - I'm liking the "by armor" idea...
Pyromancer: A fire-eating, or fire-breathing show might be good. Alternatively, maybe a fire poi-ball routine (google it if you're confused).
Aeromancer: I like the idea of showing off by conjuring lightning - something reminiscent of Raiden from Mortal Kombat, or one of Lo-Pan's servants in "Big Trouble in Little China".
Hydromancer: Either a show of "water-bending", if anyone has seen "Avatar- the last airbender" they will have an idea on what I mean by that, or by conjuring an ice-statue, akin to something Bobby Drake from the X-Men or Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat might do.
Geomancer: I'd love to see one summon 3 large boulders form the earth, then mystically juggle them. Let's see a Warrior beat that with a show of strength.

Monk - I say make them partially based upon the weapon they are wielding - if it's a staff, a complicated bo-staff routine would work. Other possibilities for other situations:
* The monk bows his/her head in a reverent gesture, and translucent, angelic wings sprout from their back, with acompanying halo effect. Good for if they have a wand, or are unarmed, perhaps.
* If near a body of water, they instead just walk out.. ON TOP of the water, wall others merely walk into it.
* If near water with a staff: Time to play Moses! Part that water, and give everyone a dry path.

Warrior - Also weapon based... or alternatively, based on strongest warrior attribute?
Sword: Draws weapon, performs a skillful routine/exercise.
Axe: Draws weapon (duh), performs a savage routine.
Hammer: Draws weapon (of course), does his routine, etc.
Strength (if attribute based, or unarmed): Lifts something heavy.
Additionally, each routine can also end with a watermelon being skewered, sliced in half, or Gallaghered, if you want.

Ranger - C'mon, Robin Hood? William Tell? Plenty of possibilities here! If nothing else, plant some "magic seeds" and grow a giant bean stalk.

Mesmer - I'm liking the card-trick idea. Maybe pull a rabbit out of a hat, or make a companion disappear. Alternatively, conjure brightly-colored, lava-lamp-like displays, akin to a weird acid trip.

Necroancer - He needs to hold a seance, and be surrounded by a swarm of spirits. Maybe perform a waltz with a phantom. Darken the area around them, and take on a ghastly facade.

Ritualist - Man, I don't even know what to do for them right now...

[Calis]

Solution: Make it a Deadly Arts skill. Like Some kind of channeling hex or something, and the sin does dagger tricks while it casts hehe

[StickyPanda]

Assassin:
Tosses knife high into the air. Dissappears in a poof and reappers with the knife.

Elementalist;
I DO NOT AGREE WITH BY ARMOR. My ele has fire armor just because in pvp most people use fire. I think it should go by how much points you have in one attribute.
Most fire: Breathe fire
Most water: Turn into water fall into a puddle and come back up.
Most air: HOld your hand up and shoot lightning into the sky.
Most earth. Break into rocks and then come back together.

Mesmer:
Card Trick

Monk:
Levitate while in lotus position.

Necromancer:
Have green ghosts fly around you.

Ranger:
Toss your bow around like they did in Major Payne (At the competition)

Ritualist:
Have little chains come out of the ground around you and just waver for a sec. (Like the spirits have chains)

Warrior:
Play dead. (Like grasp their chest, fall over and just lay there for a second. then get back up)

[Deciett]

Warriors should either lift something or do some crazy showoff of weapon stuff...

Like if its an axe warrior have it pull out its axe and just sharpen it (similar to what the barbarian does in D2 at the Character Class Selection screen)

If its a sworder have him do some kind of sparring drill with an invisible oponent

For the hammer id say have him pull it out, set it on the ground in front of him (propped up against his knees), spit on his hands and rub them together, then pick the hammer up over his head and smash it down into the ground, sending forth a shockwave / raising a pillar of stone / shaking the screen.

ahh but here's an unexploited font: what if we have different classes /showoff *???

Warrior + Ritualist: Ritualist conjures spirit which then procedes to duel the warrior

Ranger + Ritualist: Ritualist conjures some odd animal, Ranger shoots arrow, strange animal disappears, reappears with arrow in mouth

Elementalist + Elementalist (Conflicting Elemental specialization): They have a 'mage duel' each using their respective elements

Mesmer + Warrior: Mesmer makes alot of copies of himself, confusing the hell out of the warrior who promplty punches the ground, shattering ther delusions and knocking the mesmer to the ground.

Warrior + Assassin: Weapon Skill Showoff xD
both pull out weapon and start doin fancy tricks... ^_^

[BunnyLord]

i want to hire her and let her kill all the ppl i hate in school.

[Dukan]

LOL.... Asian chick with a butterfly knife. Any WestPac sailors around here?

[Malhavoc Adhamar]

Hmm something like /trick. Interesting.

Warriors: Draw a sword and perform a twirly 'Cohen the Barbarian' move

Rangers: Kneel down and stroke the ground. A small plant appears where they stroked that quickly grows into a flower

Elementalist: Open's their hand and forms a small clod of earth that then bursts into flame, then turns into a stormcloud, then forms into a cloud of ice particals before melting away.

Mesmer: Takes out a deck of cards and begins to shuffle them in odd ways, OR, Takes out three balls and begins to juggle

Monk: Sits down crossed legged then after a moment rises slowly into the air (only a little way) then lowers.

Necromancer: Raises a mini minion from the corpse of a handy nearby dead rat. The minion dances around the feet of it's master for a couple of seconds before dying.

Assassin: Takes out a dagger then twirls it around, throwing it up into the air and catching it behind him as the end.

Ritualist: Create a small Will-O-Whisp that floats around the Ritualist before expiring in a small ghostly laugh.
