Thoughts on some elite/legendary items:
For rogues, you could do something that lets them 'become a shadow' for a period of time - basically just re-skin ranger camouflage, which every rogue is jealous of.
For clerics, they could have a skill that lets them transcend their body into beings of pure light (like Stargate SG1 ascension) - basically just turn them into noncorporeal undead for a period of time
Sorcerers could have the same skill but skinned involving necromancy and literally becoming noncorporeal undead for a time. Could even make critter weapons useless if they're not blessed.
Monks could have the same thing but skinned as 'astral projection'
For Wizards - any chance to extend your weekly essence max would be cool. Making familiars able to pick stuff up or fight would be cool. An option to be able to put an alchemy workshop in a premium home would be cool.
If you want something every profession could want - have an option to put a locker in your player's home or player shop so the janitor doesn't take everything when ya leave

I think figuring out what these will ultimately be for is important. If it is just for more fun abilities against creatures we are currently facing then a lot of this stuff is fine cause we can faceroll most of it already at a certain point. If you want to create creatures that are more powerful then that's another thing as a lot of this may not help with that.
Things like 919 and 140 being able to cast at others with a longer duration. Warriors able to guard/protect a group. These are a couple things that come to mind.

If the character is drunk, any attack on them is liable to cause the attacker to become drunk from alcoholic haze surrounding the character.
If the character is under the influence of death rum, this is a certainty.

Perk ideas:
-Self raise ability
-Ability to learn one spell from any circle outside your class
-Miracle: a hit that would have killed you is re-directed to the critter (idea courtesy of Sabotage)
-Stat and skill increases: I would personally opt for these to replace enhancives instead of stacking with them.
-Aelotoi perk: Fast travel - aelotoi can fly to AND FROM any city once a day. This is followed by a cooldown period where the aelotoi becomes real angsty and depressed, lamenting their home world and forcing them to cry once every 20 minutes for the duration of the cooldown.
Empath perks:
-Ability to transfer your wounds to a critter
-Better AOE capabilities. Melivn had the following idea: Empathic blast ~ drawing on your pain from healing others, you release a blast of mental energy that effects all targets in the room with a lowsteel like flare. T1 roll 1d3, and 1d11 first roll being wound level second roll being areas effected you take a wound in that area of that level as a physical side effect. T2 reduce rolls to a 1d2 and 1d6, T3 no damage taken.
-Ability to cast while heavily wounded
-Blood overflow: You transfer your blood into a critter until they explode (idea courtesy of Nodyre).
-I like the general concept of high risk/high reward perks wherein empaths wound themselves for increased power or other capabilities.
-Bolstered 225 and 116 capabilities for easier rescues - remove blackout zones for these spells.

Rogue ideas!
Bandit Unique Line
Requirements: Must be a rogue, must not have points in the Assassin tree or the Swashbuckler tree
Elite Tier:
Keep em flat footed: 20/30/40/50% to interrupt an enemies spell cast, striking out with a free RT melee attack which, if it connects, stops the enemy from casting.
Catch em off guard: When you leave hiding or are pulled out of hiding, there is a 5/10/15/20% chance to put each enemy in the room in 5s of RT in stance offensive.
Legendary Tier:
Never know what hit em: Any successful melee attack you make in the next minute automatically puts you back into hiding with +100 skill bonus for S&H. Usable once every 10m
Swashbuckler Unique Line
Requirements: Must be a rogue. Must not have points in the Bandit or Assassin trees.
Elite Tier:
Mocking Blow: When you hit an enemy with a melee attack, you mock them and enrage them, preventing them from stancing down from offensive for the next 30s.
Cut upon Cut: Every consecutive successful melee attack reduces the RT of the next successful melee attack by -1 second. This resets if you miss for any reason, take a non move action or do not make any attack within 20s.
Legendary Tier:
Daring Do: For the next 30s you cannot hide. However, all your attacks/abilities are reduced by 1s and you receive a much higher chance to dodge and evade any attacks. Your DF is increased and you gain natural Crit Weighting during this time. Usable once ever 10m.
Assassin Unique Line
Requirements: Must be a rogue. May not have ascension perks in Bandit or Swashbuckler tees.
Elite Tier:
Prepared Ground: For 5s RT, you can set up traps in a room. Any enemy that enters or attacks you within this room has a X% chance of triggering the trap, dealing damage and status effects. The trap remains in the room as long as you do. This ability does not draw you out of RT. The trap may be set off by multiple enemies.
Wait and Watch: For every 30/25/20/15s you are outside of town and not attacking, you gain phantom crit weighting equal to X. This bonus is lost as soon as you make an offensive action, but begins to renew automatically.
Legendary Tier:
Nothing can save them: You automatically fatally crit on your next successful melee attack. If the enemy cannot be crit killed, you do 50% of their Health Pool in damage. This ability can only go off every 1m/50s/40s/30s

Although I am sure it is not a novel idea, it would be nice if post-cap development allowed for permanent gear improvements by all professions similar to the success of enchant and more recently ensorcell.
For instance, rather than being able to gain combat resistances for oneself, allow a warrior/rogue to add this permanently to gear, and even damage (warrior)/ critical (rogue) padding/weighting for higher ascension tiers. The same could be true for ranger elemental resistance on gear, as well as sighting.
In this way all characters could feel they were participating in some meaningful way in the larger GS service economy.

I hear you can set, such was suggested, how much of your exp goes towards ATP.
If, for example, a level 50 character set normal exp absorption to 75% and 25% to ATP, what haapens if you use a double experiece boost or an instant mind clear?
