Guild Wars: Factions skills for Prophecies professions
Firstly, a disclaimer. I asked Gaile whether it was ok to post these and she said yes, as long as I don't add the actual numbers on effect/recharge/etc since they're pretty much guaranteed to change before release. Therefore this won't give you an idea of whether the skills are actually good or not but it will give you the flavour. I don't have all the skills but I do have a bunch of them.

Those Domination Skills look awesome.
Ah, you can't really tell right now. If the final versions have a 2 minute recharge then clearly they're unplayable. It's all going to depend on the numbers. I didn't notice anything that's at the other end of the spectrum - i.e. at any cost it's way too good.
Speaking of Domination, Psychic Instability looks pretty terrible at any cost, especially as an Elite.
Signet of Destruction ...Signet of Disruption...
Think you made a typo there. Or else that you posted two skill to close to each other ;)
Great info tough thanks.
Not a typo, they are two different skills.
Savage Pounce looks a whole lot like Bestial Pounce.
You are indeed correct. It's another placeholder skill that will probably be replaced.
Removed Savage Pounce - thankyou!
