Can't win for losing here! Someone uses search and gets grief for thread necromancy. If a new thread were started, someone would have QQ's about the search feature NOT being used!

Archer's Signet is pretty bad, considering you can't use it with burning arrow barring 2 elite situations, and any conditions you should be applying with a bow will already last long enough either for the enemy to die (PvE) or to get removed (PvP).

The only real use is you'll get some extra damage out of flame trap, but trappers have much better options for elites like spiked trap, and will probably not actually be wielding a bow most of the time if their build is focused entirely on trapping.

Signet of Spirits (PVP) is still pretty bad.

How about this one

Quick Shot
Elite Bow Attack. Shoot an arrow that moves twice as fast.

Finding the worst elite is like trying to judge a down syndrome beauty pageant...

So many are laughable for the majority of the game.

Preservation is pretty weak. If it automatically healed the party member with lowest health or healed all party members (but for less, obviously to not be broken) or healed every 2-3 seconds instead of 4, it would be a good option. It's better to just bring Life and Spirit Light.

I'm not saying it's the worst elite, but it's far outclassed by non-elite skills in the same line.

Corrupt Enchantment is kinda weak when you compare it to Rip, especially with the same energy cost and recharge. Sure it's a little more degen, but in the big picture it's not that great.

Copy it with Arcane Mimicry and use it alongside Healers Boon. Have your UA Monk copy Healers Boon.

Heal Party.

You realize you're responding to something from March 2006, back when UA was the worthless PvP version, right?

Also, prot spells > UA+HB.

LOL, it is good interesting to rez this thread now that we got even MORE Elites that are craptacular, way to loose 1K on a cap sig.

IMO Ether Prodigy is still among the worst elites ever.

Ritualist worst elite skill since last update:
Soul Twisting.
Who needs 66% faster cast on a 3/4 sec cast skill?

Warrior: Either Skull Crack or Decapitate has my vote.
(I know Decapitate can be judged about that...Give me a viable PVE build with it and i'll agree with it being usefull)

Ranger: Quickshot or Equinox

Necro: Wailers Doom. Would be usefull if they linked it to most the skills on someones bar. (as in 5 skills of protection prayers would cancel out the points in protection prayers)

Paragon: Couldn't think of any bad elite really...

Dervish: Pious Renewal

Monk: Amity (far out)

Mesmer: Keystone signet definitely

Assassin: Shadow Meld

Elementalist: Glimmering Mark (Or Second Wind...but at least Second Wind always provides you with energy. Glimmering mark's damage output is much more a gamble.
