Also, [skill]Headbutt[/skill] plus [skill]Plague Touch[/skill] is a pretty nasty combo.

LoD used to be used in Minion Factory often. It's possible to resurrect your whole Guild if it's a close battle and lots of bodies in one area, esspecially if used with "We Shall Return!"


Prot. Bond could be really useful against foes that hit super hard but not very often, possibly. Conbine with energy recover skills and this could be held of the whole fight.

I'm sure there are several other uses for both skills, but I'm not sure of others. Like I said, it's the users job to find the best use for it.

Unyielding aura to use when you res someone you hate ;D
Quivering blade is a good skill
explanation: good damage, low adrenaline use and if it is blocked it's 4 seconds disabled and you're dazed
i don't see anything bad
unless you're a hopeless wammo >_>
Flail is also a fine skill rly
the very worst skill to me in the entire game is
[skill]wastrel's collapse[/skill]
seriously... wtf?????!
i mean what were they thinking when they made this skill

Infuse Health? Healing Breeze? Really? I thought those are generally known as useful skills...

Breeze is commonly used yet still sucks, infuse however is commonly used and actually good (used to save spikes in 8vs8 pvp and, in my case, in elite missions).

This is all just for the warrior I didn’t feel like making a list for the other classes…

You need to play some people other than H/H, loads of people use those skills. Maybe not all of them but you've listed quiet a few good elites there.

[skill]lava arrows[/skill] anyone?
[skill]mirror of ice[/skill] never actually saw anyone LOOK at it.
[skill]ride the lightning[/skill] it's crappy

Also I don't know why you guys hate Iron mist so much. Used properly it can really screw a lone warrior or melee toon.

Gadd.

Also, Iron Mist used to be one of the skill that an E/Mo griefer in aspenwood would use... throw up Iron Mist on Gunther, or a siege turtle, and they become a pain to kill. So I'd guess a lot of people have had bad memories with Iron Mist.

[skill]Double Dragon[/skill] Unfortunately, the name of this skill is a magnet for all those little noobies you find in AB. A/E with Double Dragon and 6 in Fire Magic anyone...

I love Iron Mist. I throw that and 7 fire nukes on my bar when fighting Doppleganger.

As stated earlier, every skill is useful someplace. You just have to figure out where.
