This HAS to be the worst skill in the game! It disables ALL my skills, other than Psychic Distraction for EIGHT seconds and it only disables ONE of the enemy skills? How is that even remotely a good skill, let alone good enough to be worthy of 'elite'...

Is it just me or is there something more to this skill I'm missing, cause otherwise there really does seem to be no point in having it!!

You obviously have no PvP experience whatsoever.

You expect a person who said before Resurrection Signet was the worst skill ever would be taken seriously?

To my worst skills:

Err...

Vengeance.

Vengance?!

Vengance can actually be nice in places like RA.

I like using it on Nukers and spellcasters in RA. It lets them come back up and attack with full force. A couple have even thanked me for using it.

My worst skill?

First few pages, super lot of people said Rust was useless. I guess in PVP it may not be as good but i used it when farming ettins =P -40 armor for 6 seconds + a speed skill = pwnt.

EDIT: A lot of people dont understand some of the ranger spirits so I will explain some of the uses:

Fertile Season: "Ok, so now everyone is slightly tougher to kill. Great. That accomplished nothing." Good for countering spike groups (unless they ignore armor, but the added health still helps)

Symbiosis: I dont see how this is useless at all. up to 125 health for each enchantment. Good if you have a bonder. Please explain WHY you dont like your skills.

Another guy who doesnt understand good skills: "Monk - Protective Bond. Sorry but ever since this skill was nerfed, have you EVER seen anyone use it in pvp or pve?" I use this on my 55 monk for 2 man UW. Can tank every single smite crawler with no problems. I have a screen of the guy who showed me it tanking a lot of stuff.

"burning speed imo i mean come on" You're right... alone it sucks but with the right skill combo you can constantly keep and enemy onfire and keep your speed up.

"Oh yeah, heal party. 15 energy for a laughable amount of health. I don't feel like making an argument, I just know that I always kick myself when I take it along, because it always ends up being futile. Such a small health gain isn't going to make you not lose if things are going badly." Someone failed their math class. With 16 healing you have 84 health. Now, orison of healing does 73 and its 5 energy. Basically what I'm sayin is its useful whel healing 3 or more people because the overall HP gain and time saved is completely worth it.

People, dont be stupid.

Healing Party is one of the most used spells in gvg lately.!!!11

eleet · Aug 29, 2006, 12:27 AM // 00:27

all you people harrasing otyuphs cry, screw you i just thought of the craziest build spike with that.

i call it, the eleet cry spike
use otyuphs cry, then on 3 use everyone use ferocious strike(or some other damage skill for pets)

)

isnt that the best spike ever?

TheLordOfBlah · Aug 29, 2006, 06:06 AM // 06:06

Not really...

Arkantos · Aug 29, 2006, 06:42 AM // 06:42

That spike actually sucks....the target is gonna know there being "spiked" cuz pets are gonna run up to them. There gonna kite, and monks will heal. Your fail at trying to make a crap skill useful.

don't really use it but i was under the impression that the armor bonus affects pets too.

dude, 6-man otyugh / dark fury spike groups this weekend!!!!

need to fit an ignorance mesmer in there though too.

otyugh's fury signet shutdown FTW!

Voltar · Aug 29, 2006, 07:03 AM // 07:03

whoa. psychic distraction is awesome.

your skills are disabled except for psychic distraction which has like a ...2 second recast or something. that's about the fastest cooldown on any interrupt that i can think of.
it's good as like...your 3rd or 4th interrupt when doing an interrupt build. it's also cool that it interrupts non-spells too like troll unguent and healing signet...think only cry and leech sig also do non-spells

they think you've blown all your cooldowns and you keep hitting them with it. hilarious stuff.

Complicate, Signet of Disruption (conditional). There are probably others but those are the two off the top of my head form the mesmer line.

Auspicious Incantation.

Long name, long discription, totally useless.

Auspicious kicks ass on fast cast ele... and even on a regular ele it is almost always a regular part of my build.

Would Greater Conflag+Winter+Ranger/Mes w/ Frostbound Armor+Mantra of Frost be decent? (Team play of course. No more room for skills lol)

Nice name BTW. ^_^

Purge Signet is prety lousy but has its uses in extremely rare ocassions.

Bad for both PvE and PvP.

Old news, I know...but it's great in PvP when coupled with Glyph of Sacrifice...Who cares about the 90 second recharge when res sig can be interrupted and is one shot only?... The only problem with that is once the other team catches on...you're the primary target. (Hint: E/Mo...der)

*edit* Someone already beat me to the punch last page...but I was playing catch up and got tired of the Otugyh's Cry point v. counter-point. */edit*

rust is an effective skill against warriors without any healing except healing signet, my warrior has died thousands of times fighting seige ice golems with healing signet

Skuld · Aug 30, 2006, 01:37 PM // 13:37

Uh, wouldn't you learn and take a hex remover?
