Skill name: Arrow of Decay

Target: Enemies, in a cone area in front of the user.

Description:An arrow that when it hit the target it does % damage on direct hit and % damage over 10 seconds. If the enemy dies from the Decay there's a % chance that the target will rise as a zombie minion to fight by your side(Max of 4 zombie minions at a time).

Visuals: Would be a purple arrow that when it hits it's target it will engulf it in a purple and black aura until it dies or the 10 seconds end.

Hello

First of all thanks for the contest! Here's my submission.

Skill name: "Slippery Getaway"

Target: Self

Description: The ground beneath your feet freezes leaving a slippery trail of ice behind you. Enemies standing upon the ice will be slowed by x%. Duration of skill x seconds.

This skill is good for escaping, when there are to many monsters as seen in the pictures below.

Tough spot:


Time to run:


Sounds: Crackling ice and cold winds.


Skill mechanic resembles that of the Sorceress' fire skill "blaze" from Diablo II, but with a crowd control effect instead of damage.
The skill could be altered to "throwing oil/mud" for non magic classes.

Crossing my fingers for that beta key :-)

Hugs from Loumy

Skill name: Frozen Link

Target: enemies

Description:
Marks the target slowing it speed by x% for y seconds. During that time you may cast Frozen Link on another target that is also slowed for the same ammount. On second cast Link on the first target would have the duration refreshed as well as form a link with the second target.
Once the link is formed both marked targets start to take damage over time.
Enemies that pass by the line fromed between the two linked targets would get slowed for half of the speed of the main targets.
If during the time that marks last one of the linked target dies both marked enemies release an freezing explosion damaging all the enemies close to them for z damage

Visuals:
A mark floating on over the heads of 2 marked enemies.
A blue beam linking both marked targets.

Sounds:
Crackling sound of freezing bodies on target marking.

Skill name: Kinetic Battery

Target: Any

Description: Places a kinetic shield on the target that lasts 15 seconds. The shield absorbs 10% damage taken. At the end of the duration, or if target is killed the shield explodes dealing damage equal to 5x the absorbed damage in an area around the target.

Visuals: As the shield absorbs more and more damage, the shield emits a more profound electric visual effect. The more charged, the more profound the explosion is (as an electric nova)

Sounds: As the shield charges, it emits more and more static-like effect. When the shield explodes, it shocks each enemy affected

Flavour text: Give me all you've got.



The point of being able to target enemies is that you could use it to create AOE damage out of single target attacks. The shield may not seem like much, but it can't be very strong if it is to have an AOE nuke attached to it. It would be very good to use on an ally tank, or on a beefy enemy surrounded by other units.

This is my post from the last contest. I hope you don't mind, I would create another if I had the spare time, busy night. If the contest is still going tomorow I'll be able to create a new one. Otherwise, I hope you like this one, it was fun to make :)

Skill name: Frenzy of the Damned

Target(s): Self/Allies also aimed towards enemies. (NOT AVAILABLE IN PvP LEAGUES!)

Description: This skill is sort of a buff. First of all, this is a strength skill, but is beneficial to all classes. To start things off, the skill will be player activated, and has a 2 minute cooldown. (seems reasonable...to me at least) When the skill is activated, the skill gem will enrage the player who activated the gem, increasing melee damage by (x)%. The skill will also "enrage" so to speak his allies by (x)% increasing either melee/spell/arrow damage, depending on who is in the group.(this percentage is less than the caster's percentage of course) If there are no allies in the caster's group, then the caster's melee damage increases by an extra 3%. Enough for the allies, now what does this skill do to the enemy/enemies? I forgot to mention this, but this skill affects up to three enemies The "Frenzy of the Damned" skill decreases melee/casting speed by (x)% as well as decreasing melee/spell damage by an equal or lesser percentage.

Visuals: The visuals will depend on the class of the ally. As for the caster, as stated before this is aimed for the strength builds, so the visual for the caster will be red. When Casted, there will be some sort of cylindrical cone surrounding the: Caster, Ally/Allies, and the enemies. As you can see in the picture I provided, the caster's cone will be (RED), Dexterity based allies' cone will be (GREEN), and Intelligence based allies' cone will be (BLUE). As for the enemy/enemies, their visual will be a black cone (of Death)

Sounds: As for the sound, I imagined the skill to make some sort of Wooshing/Whizzing type of sound. Maybe even some type of Schwoom sound (sorry for the bad descriptions, it's kind of a hard noise to come up with). Take for example the sound that the teleport spell made in Diablo 1, that is kind of what I am imagining for this skill.

Skill name: "May I Cut In"; melee weapons only
Target: Enemies; AoE spell
Description: You can target enemies via radius-like spell, affected enemies will receive a short de-buff. De-buff consist of having the first affected enemy attacks you receive a counter-hit by your character, resulting in severed limb or decapitation. The activation of the skill will also rely on % chance. Severity and activation of the skill can be increased through skill leveling. Max level of the skill will also provide a small chance of cutting your enemy in half, resulting in the immediate death of the monster where decapitation allows the monster to swing once more before dying. Loss of limb does not kill the monster, just weakens it.
Visuals: Dodge animation and immediate counter-swing animation afterwards, resulting in gory decapitation or loss of limb. Fair amount of dripping blood.
Sounds: Skill activation would sound like a ghost whisper. Decapitation will have extra sound from the head being cut off and loss of limb will also be accompanied by a short growl/scream/shout from the target enemy. Cutting your enemy in half will have only dripping blood, body separation kind of sounds, you don't need more sounds for it.
*picture*:
Targeting your enemies would look something like that.
decapitation would look like that
