[Request] Friendly fire in PvE/PvP content!

Hello!

It's unlikely that we'll see any new abilities added to the game until 6.0 is upon us, though that doesn't mean feedback can't be put forward.

I propose the addition of very powerful but dangerous abilities that deal damage both to enemies in range of the attack and also any allies caught up in the assault.

Aside from being very immersive, it could add an additional layer of risk vs reward in combat situations.

It would be fun, but would be used to troll to no end.
Plus people in this game already can't handle emotes in PvP, you think they could possibly handle dying from a teammate?

I read the title of the thread and my first thought was "I bet this is a Theodric Thread". I am not disappoint.

Also, Theo, y u a lizrd now?!

I agree, while it's a really good idea on paper, it would do way more harm than good. The trolling would get out of hand.

The only way this would be even remotely viable, in my opinion, would be for limit breaks. Specifically ranged physical and caster. I guess a melee LB could have like a 5 ilm splash range or maybe constrained to the hit box or circumference of the target circle.

Either way, I don't think you'd ever see this in a mmorpg. Single player sure. There are a few games that implement that as an extra difficulty option. Dragon Age for example.

I had an existential crisis. I like how Midlander men look but I wish I could design them to be taller. I'll probably go back to playing one if the stubble from the trailers is added, though!

How is that any different from a pvp server?

How about they let healers heal the monsters or boss the group is attacking. Maybe even let you raise fallen enemies.
