[skill]Enraged Lunge[/skill] - made me begin to play on my first ranger more and more. I love this skill.

[skill]Mind Blast[/skill] - I knew I liked this skill a lot but last night I tried it in Nahpui Quarter with No Attunements.

- sorry turtles, no enchantments to strip... My energy only once dipped below 75% and that was when we were fighting Tahmu - I feel this skill will become more and more used by me in the near future. It has also been the only skill which has enticed me to try out the Fire Magic line seriously.

[skill]Protective was Kaolai[/skill] - since the description was chanced this is an amazing skill and transformed my Restoration build.

[skill]Enchanter's Conundrum[/skill] - If set up correctly one is able to create a fantastic spike of damage, especially on mending wammos... muahaha

Well i would have say the skills that changed the way i played would be:

[skill]Broad Head Arrow[/skill] - Once i discovered this Gem my Days of Barrage were over. Helps my ranger shutdown foes, 75% of the time i have this equiped now. My ranger went from being a moderate damage dealer to being a caster shutdown character.

[skill]Shield of Deflection[/skill] - The skill that turned my PvP monking into so much fun and made an amazing support skill. Annoys the hell out of Warriors and made me realise the true power of Protector monks back in the days when there were next to no protector monks except Lina.

[skill]Crystal Wave[/skill] - This skill made me discover the true potential Earth damage could do back when Earth Eles were unheard of. Turned my Ele into a killing machine without having to be a nuker

[skill]Well of Power[/skill] - This skill turned my Necro it a great team support Character back in the days when there was no paragons to do the job. Combined with some good attack skills and some another support skills this made a great Build that worked on virtually any mission.

[skill]Echo[/skill] - Opened up so many door for my mesmer build wise one of the greatest skills imo, allowed the creation of alot of sucessful builds.

[skill]Rebirth[/skill] - The skill that i would have never have completed phrophecies without. Once i got this all other res's went the way of the Dinosaur in my builds, i even restarted more than 3 characters to give them /mo just so they u could weild this skill.

First Mesmer elite I tried. Quite fun

[skill]searing flames[/skill]

Ive just been running Searing flames Bhavv, Searing Flames Zhed, Searing Flames Sosuke and Searing flames Norgu.

Things die to fast for me to cast glowing gaze quickly enough for E management. I feel like a noob all over again

Normally I would use Morgan with ToF and Motivation heals for my SF-way, but damn the fourth one made such a difference.

[skill]mystic regeneration[/skill] [skill]"go for the eyes!"[/skill]

TheOneMephisto · Jun 06, 2007, 02:25 AM // 02:25

No particular order or anything:

Frenzy, dshot, shield bash (mo/w ftw), freezing gust, diversion, eviscerate, YAA, crippling slash (the new buff), Gift of health, glyph of lesser energy (the buff), SP sins in general (how I hate them), bull's strike, gale (prenerf).

my primary character being a ranger, i have had several skills that completely changed my play style.

[skill]Apply Poison[/skill] once i realized how incredibly awesome poison was, i rarely ran a build without it, and i still rarely go anywhere without it.

[skill]Barrage[/skill] my first highly anticipated elite. after capping this i used it for quite some time before realizing that it really wasnt all it was made out to be, except in certain situations where it could be used well in conjunction with other skills.

[skill]Melandru's Arrows[/skill] never knew much about it until i capped it, but once i had it i used it quite a bit in place of poison. i also ran it in pvp quite successfully, spreading around bleeding to entire teams.

[skill]Poison Arrow[/skill] this was probably my favorite skill before burning arrow, as i love poison so much. take away the prep time and high energy cost and just fire an arrow whenever you want to poison someone, with cheap energy cost and quick recharge time and you have the ultimate poison skill. easily one of my favorite skills.

[skill]Burning Arrow[/skill] my current favorite skill. with 14+ marksmanship and apply poison you can keep a foe poisoned and on fire indefinitely, the ultimate degen combination. ive only replaced poison arrow with this because i can use it in conjunction with apply poison. with high enough expertise and careful use of apply poison, engergy isnt a problem.

sooooo my top favorite skill to date is..........
[skill]Poison Arrow[/skill]

As a monk, definately [skill]shield of deflection[/skill]. That's the skill that taught me to stop watching red bars and actively prot as enemies move around.

Blood of the Master changed the way I raised and maintained my army of minions.

Signet of Devotion

No more need for dedicated energy management, it helped me to learn how to manage my skills and was also during the time wherein I learned about protting. Thus reducing the need to constantly "make red bars go up" and at the very least if that was necessary it was free.

drupal · Jun 26, 2007, 01:21 PM // 13:21

[skill]Reversal of Fortune[/skill]
Made me realize how mighty the prot skills are, though I still look too much on red bars :]

[skill]Magebane Shot[/skill]
Helped me to donate almost every ele in RA.

NJudson · Jun 26, 2007, 11:27 PM // 23:27

[skill]Barrage[/skill]

Absolutely no other skill in the game has made me more lazy and one dimensional...but still I love the dang thing!

I do play other skill bars aside from BP stuff, but often times I just want to mindlessly kill stuff and what better way to do that then with barrage.

Baelian Grey · Jul 06, 2007, 04:27 AM // 04:27

My first character was a ranger, and I was just in love with this skill, still am.

This skill will almost always have a spot on my bar.

This is an awesome skill when combined with Barrage, I love it.

(Edit: This is probably stupid, but how do I insert skills that show what the skill does, etc)
