The worst skill of any is restore life, you have to be in touch distance and it has a 8 second recharge.

Bad for both PvE and PvP.

Mesmer primary - cast time around 4 seconds.
Resurrected with higher energy pool with just some points into healing - big plus for caster teams.

Only to be spiked down again.

Start pulling off clothes.

They add energy too.

Got my message deleted... so I'll just post it differently:
If you don't have a good infuser/or any other kind of heal monk - yes.

Then again, anything above 1/2 second can be easily interrupted.

HAHAHAHA....I would laugh my butt off in-game if I see a caster strip down naked to get rid of Malaise.

>>warrior swing axe once at caster and hits for an obscene amount of damage, killing caster with one swing<<

LMFAO

Then again - you can use Mantra of Resolve.

Symbol of Wrath is a good skill. It does great PBAoE damage for its cost and at least 3 or 4 of the 5 hits will connect in PvE. If you're smart, you can use the scatter to great effect. If you've got a caster that's being beat on, then they can use it to give them time to run away.

I bring it along on my 55 Monk. It adds damage and damage mitigation (scatter them and run) while SoJ isn't up.

Signet of Disenchantment
Signet. Lose all energy. Target foe loses one enchantment?

I can think of so many better ways to remove an enchantment than by losing all your energy.
Well... you could have 0 energy and desperately want to remove one enchantment but... then you better work your energy up instead with let's say, a battery off hand and drain enchantment?

This has to be the worst skill. If someone manages to prove to me that it has got some actual use then I'll be suprised.

i think not, its the only one of several skills that can remove shadow form/spellbreaker/obsidan flesh.

Ritualist- Guided wepon: Weapon Spell. For 5...10 seconds, target ally's attacks cannot be "blocked" or "evaded".

thats it? for a 45 second recharge? COME ON..

assasin- wont go there

Ele- Second Wind=You gain 1 Energy for each point of Energy lost due to Exhaustion. This spell causes Exhaustion.

Okay it's good, but it's DEFINATELY not worth a elite slot when theres elemental attunement to chose from

Mesmer- Psychic Distraction=All of your other skills are disabled for 8 seconds. If target foe is using a skill, that skill is interrupted and disabled for 5...11 seconds.

Sure, this has its uses but it still could be much better, i'd pick diversion over that ANY day

Necro- can't find any right now

Monk- Peace & Harmony= For 30...78 seconds, target ally gains +1 energy regeneration. Peace and Harmony ends if that ally casts a spell that targets a foe or deals damage to a foe.

Okay, it might have its uses if it's done right, but come on, if you do damage it ends, and +1 energy? thats it? BR ftw and br isn't even elite

Ranger-Otyugh's Cry- nuff said

Warrior- Dwarven Battle Stance=For 5...10 seconds, you attack 10% faster, and if your hammer attacks hit, your target is interrupted. Dwarven Battle Stance ends if you use a skill.

okay, it looks good, but it's for hamemrs only, and it has a 30 second down time, there are so much better hammer combos than with Dwarven Battle Stance, so IMO thats the worst warrior skill EVER, i mean you can't even use it with tiger stance or frenzy to boost the attack speed, and it's a true waste of an elite for ANY hammer warrior, nuff said

Hidden in the Mist · Jul 16, 2006, 02:24 AM // 02:24

Warrior - Tiger's Stance

Ranger - Otyugh's Cry

Monk - Peace and Harmony

Elementalist - Second Wind

Necromancer - Bone Minion

Mesmer - Ether Lord

Ritualist - Weapon of Quickning

Assassin - Locust's Fury

unholy guardian · Jul 16, 2006, 03:00 AM // 03:00

eh problem is like every skill is useful for something or other

like eh... tiger's stance = hammer ownage, but eh yeah i have to admit finding a good build for locust's fury is hard.

Better than warrior's cunning, and it's mainly for situations where you need to distract ghostly or get an adrenspike through no matter what.
