How did you make your skill icon? Lost-Blue 22:58, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Looks like an edited version of Black Mantis Thrust to me. --Shadowcrest 22:59, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Well yes but I want to know how he made it. Lost-Blue 00:03, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I googled for "Mantis" and made it with Photoshop :P --[[Image:Takisig.jpg]] 12:50, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I want photoshop Q_Q Lost-Blue 01:06, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * If you're that desperate...you could always "organize" it....lol--[[Image:Takisig.jpg]] Taki Fujiko 17:11, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I've been using GIMP for a while now, it's kind of a free substitute for Photoshop... go google it. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 17:14, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll leave the icon design for ANet :) Lยкץ๒๏ץ talk  18:31, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Black Falling Golden Spider Fang Lotus Fox Ox Strike
Lol, no way this is serious, but I'm leaving it in for the comedy factor :D -- Taki Fujiko 20:36, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * That one is pretty funny though. But it's missing "Critical" :> ZanderArch 21:06, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
 * That deserves to win just for the name.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]Entrea Sumatae  [Talk]  22:38, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
 * All we need is a crazy boss to use this, and we have the best skill ever Zefir 00:52, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

ANet
I don't care about who'll win, but I hope ANet will give us an Elite Lead soon. --:-) GlennThePaladin (Talk,Contrib) 11:04, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Don't count on it. GW is closed for new skills. The most they can do, is change an older skill to something else (Wail of Doom, Foul Feast) and that's doubtful too. All in all, no one will get that bow unless Taki just gives it to the person that made the coolest and most balanced skill in his/her opinion. If we're going to wait for ArenaNet, then no one will get that bow... unless it was Taki's intention all along :> &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 14:37, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * That is a good point, the contest isn't really a contest because no one can win it.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]Entrea Sumatae  [Talk]  14:46, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * There are some candidates that could be changed easily, e.g. Desperate Strike. I was hoping that ANet implements one of our ideas because I was blinded...but 06/03/08 kinda opened my eyes that they hate sins and won't ever change any of their skills to the positive or better our lead-offhand-dual system. I hope you didn't participate only because there's something to win but also for the fun of designing. Maybe I will give the bow to the inventor that I think was best. --[[Image:Takisig.jpg]] Taki Fujiko  15:09, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * To be honest, an elite lead attack will drastically change the metagame in HA, TA, AB, RA etc. I bet Izzy is aware of that too seeing these attacks beat their targets to within an inch of the target's life, making the rest of the combo somewhat useless. Nevertheless, the idea is funky. Yikey ∞  15:12, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Not really, only if they fail at balancing (points at Shroud of Silence..), of course an elite lead should be slightly weaker than an elite offhand (e.g. Temple Strike) and a bit weaker then elite dual attack. --[[Image:Takisig.jpg]] Taki Fujiko  16:02, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Desperate Strike isn't elite. Note that Wail of Doom was elite before and after the change. The only time I can remember a normal skill becoming elite, was with Wounding Strike, but that got changed after the Nightfall Preview Event, before Nightfall actually came out. As far as looking over the assassin elite skills that aren't used and could be changed I only found Golden Skull Strike, but since it has "golden" in it's name, it has to do something related to the user or the target being enchanted. &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 18:01, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * If you are under the effects of an Enchantment and this attack hits. orly? Jamster 17:26, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * How about this: Downgrade one worthless skill (points at Wastrel's Collapse) to a regular skill and upgrade a different skill to Elite? --Gimmethegepgun 17:36, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, and then you screw up everyones Elite Skill Hunter title. It just can't be done post-release. &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 18:08, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Anet wouldn't do that, and if they did they'd only just change it back 'cuz Izzy had doubts that it might actually be used. *points at Sundering Attack*. And aren't most lead attacks stronger than offhand attacks? E.g Unsuspecting Strike The only hope is that they make an elite offhand an elite lead and buff or weaken it a little for balancing, which Izzy would never do.. /fistshake... -- [[Image:Elisa Angelstine sig.png|19px]]Elisa Angelstine 20:22, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Thanks! --:-) GlennThePaladin (Talk,Contrib) 20:45, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Elemental strike would be overpowered. --[[Image:Lann-sf2.jpg|19px]] Lann 01:24, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I personally like Temple Strike the most, it seems the most interesting of all of them IMO. Nice job Lann and everyone else too!--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 02:36, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
