I love skull crack. It's a great skill when you're farming with 2 people, as you can take out the casters

In all fairness, if you arent using 3 other adrenaline based skills, cleave is better than eviscerate. It could be deducted from the calculations that the damage difference between these two skills is negligable, and that you could effectively use which ever one you liked more. Personally, I like cleave more, because I can use it every third hit, and those other 2 hits can be cyclone axe or swift chop. Also, being an R/W makes the energy cost of those skills negligable, making cleave an excedingly better choice than eviscerate.

Skull crack cn be so fun. Have a mesmer cast Fevered Dreams, then skull crak in a group of casters.

so much fun....
Life Transfer: Why the HECK do you think that somewhere around 800 necro's are using this skill in radom arenas? NOOBS CARRY NO HEX REMOVAL.

Peace And Harmony - Nice for a monk who needs energy. I can't see, why it sucks.

Clearly you've never seen a PvP thread about energy management. PnH sucks ass(not the guild

)

Spamming Life Siphon on everyone is much more effective than Life Transfer. Also with Siphon you can use Offering of Blood, actually a good energy management skill.

You can't interrupt shit with it because it's so slow. Also Daze is a condition so it's easily removed.

"When fighting necros" WTF? Warriors are supposed to actually spike, so Evis+Exec works pretty damn well because of DW and bigger dmg than Cleave.

Hmm. Kinda turned into an Eviscerate vs. Cleave debate. Weird.

Anywhoo, i been doing fun mesmer builds in RA. Mostly Domination spiking, all while trying random elites, like Keystone sig. This one is truely lame. I been trying to load up the bar with all sigs, then use em all, end with Keystone, and start combo again. 30 sec recharge on Keystone is killer though! ugh!

But combos can be fun, with Necro sigs.. ill try and figure out a more useful build rather then "fun" heh... enjoy!

Talk about necro. Grenth Balance, Rare to see one with that skill. Really a cheap shot spell to gain HP when you are near death.

At least Keystone sig has some use. Dwarven battle stance isn't worth using even if it wasn't an elite.

Bull's Charge is a horrible skill. If you strafe away from the Warrior he won't knock you down. And if you don't kite, then he's standing there with no IAS and he can't use any other skills. If he does use any other skills, he's wasted his elite, because that's when you start kiting.

silentblade · Mar 03, 2006, 12:10 AM // 00:10

wellll life transfer is actually some use since it both degen and regen i would say its healing breeze and life siphon together lets just say a war atks u and ur down to les than half hp u can use life transfer AND life siphon and get a total of +9 health regen and ur enemy is getting -9 health degen

Kurow · Mar 03, 2006, 05:14 AM // 05:14

Can we atleast say that cleave and eviscerate are equally good, and that they have their own scenarios in which they excel? It seems reasonable to me.
