What is one type of ability interaction you want to see!

I'd really would like to see interaction of abilities that work differently based on your combat state/biome/party composition!

    That would sound like a lot of fun. A nice layer of difficulty vs casters. Would love to see this especially from elite/heroic/boss mobs!

    Healing augments to any ability (blink, finisher, damage buff EVERYTHING) :D

    This is something I bet we'll see. Though balance is going to be rough and key. Too much self healing can lead to imbalance and unhealthy combat. Though without it also feels stale at times.

    I honestly just want to try out that bubble orb seen in that female elf mage video... see if the rocks and debris really bounce off of it or not.

    I would like to see interactions between dot aoe and projectiles (in gw2 if you fire an arrow through a field of fire you get an fire arrow etc)

    Maybe something along the lines of Divinity 2, where poison attacks heals skeletons. It can be annoying at times, but it makes the combat more interesting

    I do love these interactions. Same with elemental interactions. Fire vs ice/wood. Wood vs water. Water vs fire etc. Always a fun layer of interaction.

    Elemental resistance would be nice.
    A fire elemental would be immune to fire and susceptible to water.
    Or a wood elemental would take double damage from fire attacks.
    Spiders would frighten by fire aoe's
    That would be pretty nice in my opinion. ;D

    great idea but with some exceptions, like a fire elemental getting hit with a massive meteorite should by all means just die c:

    elemental interactions would be nice. Like water countering fire and fire melting ice
    Where there is light, there is shadow. I am the shadow without the light. The shadow of nothingness. The VoidShadow

    Elemental magic interacting with elemental mobs. in addition to using contradictory elements to do more damage to an enemy, I would also like to seeing using the same element heal the enemy.
    eg: Using fireball on a flame elemental would heal it, but using water would do critical damage.

    Granted I could see how this could be used for greifing, but I also could see it as a strategy on world boss fights between opposing teams.

    Summons based on local. If I raise the dead in a forest I want a squirrel on a undead cat. If I raise one next to the sea I want the most fearsome creature known to man, a murlock. I know too much quality of life. Maybe just change the color a bit. Charred bones in volcanoes and mossy ones in forests.

    This to me is more than welcome! even if they did the same things, would be great to have a change in appearance! Also cosmetics for the summons would be a fun thing.. :)

    Possibly not related, but I would love to see ritualistic magic. I recall Steven mentioning that summoners could get together and cast a summon for sieges that is far more powerful than the normal. I would love to see this with mages coming together to cast a more powerful ritual spell, be that defensive or offensive?

    Definitely related. Thanks I too would like to see this.

    I think something like projectile disappearance. Say a tank uses an ability that stops damage for a short time. Would be cool to see the projectile fizzle out before hitting the body etc. Rather than something just saying "block". Similar with reflections etc. reflect the projectile back at the person if tab target, or in the same direction is action targeted/

    Indepth environmental interaction. Examples;

    A mining spot that requires bodies at work and time to enlarge the mine shaft thru a phasing type (node?) mechanic.

    Herd animals that "move" up into the hills and mountains during the spring/summer and down into the lowland forests and plains in the fall/winter.

    Herbalists making detailed plans on how to find a rare "icebloom" on a high mountain during the coldest day of winter during a new moon as that is the only time it will bloom.

    Simply put - If I see loot pinatas everywhere and only static environments my time in the game will be severely limited.
