Unique Class Abilities

What is 1 of your hopes/dreams for unique class abilitiyand or augment to your archetype.
Of course we haven't seen the skill trees yet, but I am just curious as to what some of your aspirations are concerning the classes. I briefly mentioned one of mine in a previous thread.
The Necromancer: I would love to see the ability to resurrect one of your downed foes and use it till their hit points are depleted. You would gain a few of their base abilities to use while you control them.
I only chose to list one because the lists and wants are enormous I'm guessing, and I'm sure we don't want to sit here and read mini novellas. So what is your top hope for a class ability or augment?

I'm really looking forward to the fireball-but-with-a-sword augment. /s

According to Intrepid's statements they have to make 28 augments per ability... I'm not expecting them to be very good.

Mobility out of the Ass.
I just wanna dash around a room, while buffing my allies.

Milkshake bows.

I want a bow that fires milkshakes. They don’t have to be strawberry but it won’t hurt.

In basic terms its a magical wave that raises the dead

Bard has an Acting skill tree. I hope it starts off with disguises and advances into polymorphing into small stealthy critters and eventually into mimeing other class abilities and stuff.

I probably wouldn't go all the way down the Acting tree to miming abilities, if I could get to polymorphing into a small flying critter and use it as a Trickster to do sneak attacks, that'd be awesome.

Who wants to be a mime? All that white face paint makes it harder to be stealthy (except stalking along some white marble...).

some iteration of detonate dead from path of exile would be a cool ability for necromancers i feel

Is this in reference to the Class Utility skills?

If so, I really liked the concept of the Clerics unique class ability, Cleanse, where it was required to purge the corruption from a cave before anyone in the party could enter it. (Or whatever it was, something along those lines..)

For a rogue, I really hope the Spyglass (for trap finding and secret path finding) is a prominent but discreet thing.. I know that sounds contradictory, but as an explanation, I'd like it to be prominent in the way that it matters that said path is found, but discreet in the way that it's not blatantly obvious before it's found.
As an example.. A secret path to a huge treasure horde behind the last boss room.. Prominent in the aspect that it matters to find, it's worth finding, maybe with major loot.. But discreet in that it's not sticking out like dogs balls.

If this isn't what you're wanting in this post, my bad, disregard.

That would be awesome in a proper MMORPG.

I hope it plays a sound clip of "Get over here!"

I've seen a few summoner classes have similar pet explosion abilities, but nothing as satisfying as seeing those vile flesh sacs pop.

I can picture a raid killing off dozens of adds from an encounter all on the same spot, then positioning the boss right on top.

Feels satisfying just thinking about it.

Couple of thoughts, since it's been posted before... But I really like the idea/topic:

For a pure cleric/cleric focusing on healing, I would want to see a "sacrifice" ability/skill/spell.
Sacrifice your life for... anything, such as something like:
-Summon an Angel to go crazy in the fight (maybe insta-death someone or something, or half-health a boss)
-Cast a crazy spell making someone (or everyone) immune to damage for a limited time
-Sacrifice yourself with no chance of combat res to mass-res your party (one or more people) mid-fight. Maybe make it so they can't be healed after that or whatever to balance it. Can't just have a cleric-cleric in every party.

Or a Rogue/Rogue (Assassin) built completely on a death ability.
Just like in D&D (3.5) they would "study" an enemy for 3-rounds, and if uninterrupted, they basically insta-death an enemy. Of course, have to have discernible anatomy, and they get a saving throw, but still love the idea. I think it should still work on bosses, they just get a massive saving throw making it almost impossible.

Fighter/Fighter would get a Berserk ability
Basically allowing them to sacrifice all defense for a crazy attack damage or bonus for a little while. Or just a single ability. I personally like a "whirlwind" attack that essentially would cost health. (Nexus TK inspired) Basically takes all of your health and energy in to one massive attack, but leaves you at 1 health. So if you don't kill it... it kills you. Could you think of anything better for a "Warrior's Death" type skill or ability?

Mage/Mage (Archmage)
Get an ability that essentially either takes all of your mana and/or takes a crazy long time to cast, to do an insane amount of damage in a single spell. Perhaps a meteor storm on an entire city, but would take several hours to cast (by yourself), or reduce the amount of time per-caster that contributes to a ritual-type spell.

My hopes are very "simple", regarding the TANK class I want the possibility change the grab/hook in a lot of different ways, not only to catch a target, but maybe interact with an ally with it. Not like simply grabbing an ally. But something more developed, I got no ideas what it could possibly be, but as long as there is more than that, I'll be very happy.

Maybe like chaining two targets together, that can't move past a certain range from each others.

Well, you see what I'm meaning.
