Runic Strike
Strike an opponent applying one of 3 runes types. The type of rune applied is based on the highest Elemental damage type dealt. Each rune that is applied to the target amplifies and adds new the effects of other existing runes.
- Requirements: Any Melee Weapon
- Attack Speed: 80% of base
- Adds (2–78) to (5–98) Prismatic Elemental Damage.
- Effectiveness of Added Damage: 121–176%.
Each rune creates a different animation based on their type.
Each rune causes Exposure for 10% of their elemental type.
When a Frost Rune is applied to a target suffering another Rune apply Brittle.
When a Lightning Rune is applied to a target suffering from another apply Sapped.
When a Fire Rune is applied to a target suffering from another Rune apply Scorched.
Initial attacks before a rune is applied will create their normal ailments. If this skill is combined with an effect which already applies one of these effects the normal version is applied instead.

I like the general idea of an elemental melee skill, but instead of having runes in skill which might cause confusion, why not call it "Prismatic Strike"? Seems name would fit the fantasy well.

It was part of a "Melee Strike Skills Rework" post I made years back. It was a more focused Wild Strike before they made the alt quality of the gem use inverted elemental resists.

Ideally you usually had a 2 split damage types. So you'd get both Chill + Brittle and Shocked + Sapped. This made it much better for bossing. Now it would probably just be a revision of Wild Strike or Elemental Hit. I was focusing on making certain things that inherently don't work well with each other do so like Impale and Bleed from Cascade of Steel.

I've actually made around 200 skills for video games. Like actual, animated, vfx, scripted skills you could try now. Many of which could apply to PoE if it had more / better mechanics.

I actually made an inverted Escapist Shot years ago.

Aerial Engagement
Soar sylph imbued wind to target location. Fire arrows down on enemies within your path dealing 35% Weapon Damage. Land with a crushing wind shear dealing 85% Weapon Damage to enemies within 2m.

Summons too

Thing from Beyond
Create a fissure allowing an ominous entity to emerge that will attack all surrounding enemies within 3m for 85% Weapon Damage. The creature will haunt enemies dealing area damage each turn for 2 turns. The creature's damage is influenced by your Summoning skill, has 35% chance to Disarm each attack

That's pretty cool, well hoping we will see the release of the Druid with next content patch coming in March.

Caltrops
As you dodge, you build energy; when you reach maximum energy, you scatter caltrops that create jagged ground and inflict bleeding onto enemies in an area around you.

Stalactite Shield
You raise your shield, releasing spears of stone that deal physical damage to enemies in a line as you block incoming damage. Damage is increased by a percentage of your thorns.

That's a pretty awesome idea, really like the Stalactite Shield and would be a fun addition to a thorns build.

With the anticipated release of the Druid class, I think it would be neat to have a wall of thorns spell that deals damage based on your own physical thorns damage on your character...

Wall of Thorns
Spell, Duration
Creates a wall of Thorns which holds back enemies. If the wall is sufficiently damaged or pushed hard enough, damages nearby enemies based on your physical thorns damage.

I remember MTG, haven't played in many years back in Revised edition, using blue spells like Counterspell and Control Magic.

I want bleed to be a thing and I want a path to get more life so this is my dream. Of course need the mandatory debuff..

That's an interesting idea, I would call it "Blood Harvest."

Strike with your fists dealing 1 thorn damage.
10% more thorns damage.
50% more light radius.
Deal 50% less damage.
Lose double xp on death.
Delete a random equipped item when hit.

--------------------------

Not sure if the negatives are big enough to be in line with rest of the game though, :/ what you guys think? maybe add "25% less rarity on kill" also?
