Amity. A great spell when you have teammates who pay attention.

giroml · Sep 19, 2005, 11:22 PM // 23:22

Warrior Eviscerate or Backbreaker (major damage or 4 second knockdown)
Ranger Throw Dirt! (haha you're all blind)
Elementalist Obsidian Flesh (spell immunity)
Mesmer Echo (best skill in game imo, I mean come on, any spell TWICE)
Necromancer Well of Power (dont care what Mumbly says)
Monk Vengeance (haha invulnerable team for 30 seconds =p)

My favorite skill is Water Trident, by the way. It's not the best skill (that title belongs to Ether Renewal or Energy Drain, start arguing), but it's extremely satisfying, tactically outstanding, and in a class and attribute combination that is wholly unplayable.

Peace,

My favorite skill is probably Final Thrust. It's just fun. I mean shit, I play a necromancer, but on my N/W right now I love it.

Tigris Of Gaul · Sep 19, 2005, 11:41 PM // 23:41

Eviscerate, maybe Devastating Hammer.

Shield of Judgement

I've gotten so much mileage out of Shield of Judgement as a solo farmer I must give credit where it's due. The knockdowns give you space for a nice uninterrupted cast and buys you precious time. It's got a decent duration that's even better if you extend the enchantment time and hits ranged attacks as well. Balthazaar's Aura does more damage but they're still pounding on you from every direction. Symbol of wrath costs less energy but takes forever to cast. The divine boon/Zealot's Fire/Channelling spam is devasating with hoardes of undead but Shield of Judgement is more versatile and only takes up one slot.

Tiger's Fury. Beats the crap out of any other attack-speed buff in the long-term. (AS a ranger/warrior mind you).

E Drain and Offering of Blood are pretty good too :/

I realized this on the way home. Using AtB and BiP together is a bad idea, it was hypothetical anyway. However, this means BiP has only 5 pips in my calculations, making it less attractive. Now it only gives 16.6 energy vs 14.6 for WoP.

WoP affects my whole team, so I hypothetically BiPed my team to make a comparison. For 15 energy, I can give my team 16.6 energy using BiP. But using WoP I can give my whole team 14.6 energy for FREE, with no need to heal me.

"Plonker"

I'm scandalized.

That's a bit harsh. I could clearly say the same about you and Well of Power. But I won't.

The enemy fighters won't change target once they engage our warrior, so it's OK to move up into a WoP. Any stray baddiess that engage the casters can be pushed back onto the warrior with a simple pick-and-roll.

You really despise PvE don't you?

Since you've already got me on my knees 'servicing' you, why not ask for a Full-Release while I'm there?

Necro's are more than batteries. If you treat them as such, you are limiting yourself.

Vax · Sep 20, 2005, 12:50 AM // 00:50

Warrior Axe/Hammer = Eviserate / Devistating
Ranger 4 months ago = Oath Shot [] Now = kinder arrows
Elementalist = mist form
Mesmer = Panic / Migrane (cant make up mind)
Monk = Spell Breaker / Shield of Deflection (cant make up mind)
Necro = Tainted

There's a reason why my Warrior hates the Ice Golems in Sorrow's Furnace, and this is it. 4 Golems + Water Trident every second = no movement. Boo hydromancers.

Favorite skill? Shatter Hex. Screw those Mesmers, Necros, and hydromancers, along with anyone else by them.

P.S. I'm glad there aren't more hydromancers.

Mormegil · Sep 20, 2005, 01:02 AM // 01:02

Spellbreaker.

It was almost forgotten during the NR days, now it's back and alive. It's a fantastic skill, IF used at the right moment on the right guy. Too bad for the cooldown.

NekoZ · Sep 20, 2005, 01:04 AM // 01:04

Feast of Corruption (combo with Suffering/Shadow of Fear)

<3

For PvE...

Necro fav - Blood Ritual.

Yes I know BiP gives more mana regen at less cost. Yes I know BiP doesn't need you to touch the target. I still like BR as it doesn't cost me a elite slot & still works great if you have a low Blood attrib. It is such a good all around spell that I never leave home w/o it.

Monk fav - Unyielding Aura.

This spell I listed as fav just out of thier sheer enjoyment it brings. Sure there are other Monk spells that are more useful, I wont disagree with that at all. However I dont think there is another Monk spell with as much fun factor.

Vusak · Sep 20, 2005, 02:23 AM // 02:23

Elementalist - Thunderclap (too funny keeping someone on their butt for 30 secs)
Mesmer - Diversion (its cheap, fast, and screws anything)
Monk - Healing Seed (old faithful - fire and forget heal)
Necromancer - Well of Suffering (remove hex smite hex - ahh crap its a well)
Ranger - Incendiary Arrows (damage, degen, thoughtless interrupts - too easy)
Warrior - Bulls Charge (run = crit+fall ftw)
