But my monk is only used for 55 and dusnt even have beacons perch

Convenience imo

u can get legendary skill caper in a week .. boring place is to cap prophecies , becaus skills ar randomly ..

only problem for me on these days be the money for signets .. now i dont need it for future only sometimes for other chars

but i dont wana do tittles on my other chars .. i dont need it ..

I finally got round to doing doing the Skill Hunter titles over the last week.

In the last week I went from having under 100 skills capped, to Legendary Skill Hunter.

The vast majority of caps are easy but one or two of the Prophecies ones are just downright frustrating.

In getting the title I used two Elite tomes. One for a mesmer boss that failed to spawn several times in a row in Hell's Precipice, I think the skill was Panic?, and I used one for Maw the Mountain Heart.

To me this is what Elite tomes are good for :-)

Elite tomes are great for late game skills, or those obsure /hard cap skills

Yes, but I'll bet your character had already been to all of the areas you needed to map to.

I think the OP was simply wondering what the Tomes were good for, not wanting a lecture on laziness.

(Oh, and consider this - the wheel was invented by lazy people.

The energetic people were happy just to carry stuff around.)

I think they are great. and a reward for some. I have Legendary Skill Hunter on one of my characters. Now if I want a Elite for another and don't want to wait I can use one that I got from drops or buy one. Doesn't mean you're lazy if you use one.

Lazy players do not have 10k to throw around at will.

Elite tomes are simply convenient for players who have multiple characters at different stages in the game. They allow such players to get the skills they want for whatever new build they want to use, when they want.
