I think my favorite underused skill is [card]Ether Lord[/card]. It's the only skill that essentially steals energy from a foe, but doesn't require them to have energy to be effective.

I think most peoply find it too unwieldly, but it has helped my mesmer score a respectable number of victories in RA (I tend to shy away from more organized pvp). I like to wait until I'm down to about ten energy, then I'll hit [skill=text]Echo[/skill] and then ether lord whoever I think deserves it, and then two seconds later I'll ether lord someone else. Plus, I can get both copies off twice before echo ends.

It makes bonders frantic, and it's a perfect throw on that sin/ranger/derv/shock warrior I just spirit shackled to keep them at zero energy.

I would give a second vote for echo, but I think that gets plenty of use.

Could you post a build for using it in or some skills that go well with it.

A explanation of how to use it properly/effectively would help.

TY

just use it with enchantments you would want to extend, or end. My mysticism is at 12 90% of the time, and with an enchanting mod it lasts about 20 seconds, so you can make 10 sec enchantments to 20 seconds. I love it with healing hands but others have frowned upon this. It works great with Vow of silence, excellent for running because it can remove fleeting stability. the only two problems are surviving when your enchantments end, make sure you have enough health that you wont get destroyed right away when all your enchantments end; the other problem is your energy, its costs alot to load up a bunch of enchantments at the same time, and when they all end at the same time mysticism will probably fill your bar which is a waste of energy. its not perfect, but its pretty useful.

I agree. It is an awesome skill, but anytime I use it people are like "WTF noob"

Expunge enchantments recharge is a bit to long...how can you prefer it over other under used skills >.>

Tyla · Dec 02, 2007, 01:43 AM // 01:43

I quite like:

[skill]Hundred Blades[/skill]
and
[skill]Dwarven Battle Stance[/skill]
They both get quite a bit of stick but I enjoy using them.

Actually, 100 B's is not bad if coupled with a conjure (element). Works well in PvE and even PvP (sometimes).

i quite like using it over dslash myself,cuz i find numbers fun.
yay maths!!
although 100 blades needs a minor buff - say about +20 dmg?

Coloneh · Dec 02, 2007, 07:40 PM // 19:40

+20 is to much for a base. scale it with swordsmanship +5...+20.

Lol, yeah I know its not bad but post a build with it in the warrior forum and you will get savaged. So I just reasoned that it was underused.

Personally I use that skill all the time in AB, My most favorite underused skill would be

[[skill]shadow prison[/skill]

ACAlCapone · Dec 04, 2007, 03:35 PM // 15:35

underused now, but i love playing sin and watching people who dont understand how to play ranger properly (nat stride up before sin spike) fall at the hand of my daggers

ensoriki · Dec 15, 2007, 11:48 PM // 23:48

[card]Locust's Fury[/card]

Locust + an IAS just makes you go "omfg look at pretty numbers"

to bad auto attacks generally suck (unless you crit for all of them)

Seef II · Dec 16, 2007, 02:27 AM // 02:27

Twin Moon Sweep, pretty nice in a PvE physical-way build.
