I'm not just talking about duration or damage bonus rings either. I think it would be a great design mechanic that could revitalize old or underused builds that consist of skills people often shy away from. These skill modifiers would change the behavior of the base skill - not the upgrade - and could be used like ability rings. Some modifiers would have a much starker impact on the behavior of the ability than others. I came up with the idea awhile ago, and the Venatori Spellbinders ability to create three Fire Mines is what sparked it. I got to thinking, "Why can't I do that?" So, here are some modifiers for existing skills that I thought up.

 

Rogue

 

Spoiler

Mark of Death: You toss a grenade out that reduces enemy damage resistance while within the cloud area.

Elemental Mines: A wire chain of mines can be tethered between two points, dealing heavy damage to enemies who trip it.

Caltrops: Enemies that walk into Caltrops take Bleed DoT damage for several seconds, and are more susceptible to poison damage.

Twin Fangs: Using Twin Fangs at an enemies front now blinds them for several seconds.

Hidden Blades: Enemies that enter a certain radius around you take damage for a short period of time.

Full Draw: Full Draw does reduced damage, but fires multiple arrows in a cone-like spread.

Toxic Cloud: Toxic Cloud can now be thrown at a single target, with the affected target leaving a trail of poison that can damage enemies within it.

Hook and Tackle: You toss a hook line at the enemies feet, then trip the up, leaving them incapacitated for a time (resistant enemies are slowed instead).

 

Warrior

 

Spoiler

Earthshattering Strike: Spreads multiple, shorter-length ruptures across a cone-like pattern.

Mighty Blow: Using Mighty Blow now provides a stagger AoE, but reduced damage overall.

Shield Wall: Successfully timing a block gives double Guard. [I can only image the network nightmare of this]

Walking Fortress: You trade your immunity for increased armor and guard generation that lasts for a longer duration.

Lunge and Slash: Weaker enemies in front of you while lunging are knocked down.

Shield Bash: You project etheric shields from you that knock down enemy units at a longer distance, but with less damage.

Blessed Blades: Allies no longer benefit from Blessed Blade, but you instead deal more damage and Demon enemies are now panicked when struck [except panic resistant ones].

 

Mage

 

Spoiler

Fire Mine: You now deploy three mines that do less damage.

Ice Mine: When Ice Mine detonates, nearby enemies are hit with frozen sickles that do damage.

Energy Barrage: You fire fewer projectiles, but the base damage is increased and projectiles now do AoE damage.

Blizzard: Enemies caught within Blizzard take increased lightning damage, and are slowed; rather than chilled.

Stone Fist: An enemy hit by Stone Fist is rooted to the ground, and takes increased damage for several seconds (does not work on larger enemies).

Fade Step: You release a powerful fire explosion upon exiting Fade Step. Cooldown increased.

Lightning Bolt: Lightning Bolt no longer paralyzes, but now does high burning damage and leaves a small area in flames.

Veilstrike: You concentrate Fade essence into a highly-directed and powerful blast attack against enemies at the front.

 

I'm sure there are better possibilities out there; though it's meant to be an idea. The main reason I'm really proposing this is because I feel as though build diversity is relatively low in this games multiplayer; when compared to ME3MP. I think by adding this type of system to the multiplayer it would really help add new breath to the mode, and give players a reason to keep experimenting.
