Im surprised i didnt see the dark aura - shadow walk - cultists ferver ( i think thats it) combo that was doing 1000dps.

But as to the probably top 10 consistent skills: (by this i mean skills that have been consistently good since their introduction)

Spirit Bond
Frenzy
D-Shot
Eviscerate
Protective Spirit
Word of Healing
Infuse Health
Shock
Diversion
Apply Poison

Skills have come, and gone, but I cant remember a meta where these skills havent been atleast a viable option. Short term skills such as Warriors Endurance, Primal Rage, etc I didnt include coz they werent consistent.

And Spell Breaker. It has pretty much always stayed the same, and even though its use has varied it has never been a bad choice XD

1. Protective Bond (with +1 protection offhand)

For those who remember.

Cale Roughstar · Nov 10, 2009, 06:55 PM // 18:55

7. Weapon of Warding
8. Rend Enchantments
9. Shock

Where's IWAY and VIM?

StormX · Nov 11, 2009, 06:14 AM // 06:14

I'm surprised no one mentioned splinter weapon(pre-nerf version without the per-attack limit)

Some of my favourite skills from way back:

prot spirit + guardian + reversal =staples of almost every prot build
meteor shower
echo (mending)
blood ritual/BIP
diversion + backfire
spiteful spirit

all skills that have stood the the test of time =D

Master Ketsu · Nov 11, 2009, 06:27 AM // 06:27

List ignoring PvE BS.

Frenzy
Word of Healing
Mending touch
Distracting shot
Bulls strike
Infuse health
Wounding strike
Diversion
Feintheartedness
Apply poison

Konig Des Todes · Nov 11, 2009, 06:37 AM // 06:37

I'm just going to do skill combos as well, cuz some need to be said in a group. Ranking in both "epicness" (as in lulzy) and usage:

1. Frenzy+Healing Signet (cannot get funnier than seeing a warrior use this and dying...)
2. Resurrection Signet (probably the most used skill in GW's history).
3. Protective Spirit (probably the most used monk skill)
4. uncapped minions+Blood of the Master (second most lulziest thing)
5. Barrage/Folly+any prep (aka A series of Charr Rangers)
6. Dragon Slash (until 100 blade's buff, this was probably the elite of choice for sword warriors)
7. "Save Yourselves!" (A must on every W/ and /W in PvE... so they say.)
8. Pain Inverter (The one skill to kill all AoE spiking monsters insantly)
9. Signet of Spirits/Call to the Spirit Realm (best spirit skill, imo)
10. Sunspear Rebirth Signet (the second resurrection skill to be a common skill? How could it not make it).

Master Ypoc · Nov 11, 2009, 10:02 PM // 22:02

After more than 4 years of GW the skills that come to my mind are, in no particular order:

- life siphon
- arcane echo
- SS
- savage shot
- read the winds
- frenzy
- animate bone horror
- meteor shower
- backfire
- prot spirit

Sephiroth Istari · Nov 11, 2009, 10:07 PM // 22:07

zzz...

dansamy · Nov 12, 2009, 05:43 AM // 05:43

My list will refer to their "pre-nerf" status, for those to which it applies of course. I didn't choose skills that have been part of every meta since the game's beginning. I chose skills that had effects on the meta when they were popular or skills that made for memorable (or even laughable) builds.

Mark of Protection
Edge of Extinction
Aegis
Offering of Blood
Reversal of Fortune
Ether Renewal
Nature's Renewal
Prot Spirit
Order of Vampire
DShot

Oh and echo mending.

Hotboxin240 · Nov 12, 2009, 08:59 AM // 08:59

In whatever order.

Spiteful Spirit
Protective Spirit
Tease
Meteor Shower
Searing Flames
Splinter Weapon
Ancestors Rage
Few others, but those are some of my favorites

gerlin · Nov 12, 2009, 06:58 PM // 18:58

Mending
Ursan Blessing(prenerf)
Shock
Shadowform
Protective Spirit
Frenzy
Barrage
Critical Agility
Obsidian Flesh
Save Yourself

This is my top 10. They can't really be put into an order. I think these aren't the best skills, but these are the skills that shaped GW what it is today. In a positive or negative way, that doesn't matter.

Tearz1993 · Nov 12, 2009, 09:38 PM // 21:38

Blackout
Diversion
Power Block
Bull's Strike
DShot
WoH
Eviscerate
Pre-Nerf PLeak which took 20 something energy
Gale
Prot Spirit

Phineas · Nov 13, 2009, 01:13 AM // 01:13

I'm a PvE'er and this list will be biased in that direction...

1. Prot Spirit
2. Barbs, just for the laughs when running minions
3. OotV, from the B/P days of TotPK cos the monk leaving did not mean the end of a run.
4. SS, but only because monster AI makes it too effective
5. Mantra of Concentration, has supplemented many farming builds
6. Power Drain, for godly hero interrupts and their e-management
7. Visions of Regret, as it used to be my favourite skill in Fort Aspenwood
8. Eviscerate, was one of the first elites I capped and is still my fave on the warrior.
9. RoJ, for allowing monks into PuGs to do something other than heal.
10. Arcane Echo, for making some of the above twice as much fun.
