i dont see peoples hate for vow of strength, its pve, you can set your teams skills. also you can use pve skills, asuran scan, urals hammer, i am the strongest, aura of holy might. plus dervs were given the most powerful weapon in the game. therefore using a derv for orders although effective negates this ability.

So you can't apply blind, daze, weakness or DW, just the four most powerful conditions. You can't carry specific henchmen that provide conditions.

Wow now that's gotta be a good elite. Especially when you have the other OP stuff you listed.

Btw you can't use 4 PvE skills at a time.

Vow of Strength is horrible. Wounding Strike, Avatar of Lyssa, even (and this elite is pretty junky compared to Victorious Sweep because it doesn't need an elite slot and is only about 9 damage lower) Reapers' Sweep. You can't use any conditions that elevate the amount of deaths at all.

Just because "it's PvE" doesn't mean "it's good" or "it's bad", the effects and usage of the skill determines that factor.

Monk - Peace and Harmony/Withdraw Hexes. Flip a coin.
Necro - Signet of Suffering.
Mesmer - Symbols of Inspiration.
Elementalist - Energy Boon.
Assassin - Wastrel's Collapse.
Ritualist - Clamor of Souls.

W - Primal Rage or Hundred Blades (can see more use with Primal Rage though lol...)
R - Quick Shot or Quicksand (also lacerate isnt bad, it just sucks in PvE, and only abused in over hex/condtional builds in PvP)
Mo - Peace and Harmony, Withdraw Hexes, Amity, Word of Censure (your pick, all suck tremendously)
Me - Symbols of Inspiration or Air of Disenchantment
N - Signet of Suffering
E - Stone Sheath
A - Wastrel's Collapse or Mark of Insecurity
Rt - Signet of Spirits, Signet of Ghostly Might or Spirit Channeling
D - Avatar of Grenth or Onslaught
P - Angelic Bond or Incoming

imo of course... >.>

Rit - Signet of Spirits

Okay, I know archer's Signet is bad, but, worse than Equinox? I mean, what the hell is even the point of Equinox? I can't think of anywhere in the game where you'd run into enough Elementalists to justify using it. Plus, relatively few useful Ele skills cause Exhaustion. I mean, there's Maelstrom and Shock, and that's about it.

Equinox's point is to be used with an arcane echoed arcane languor. http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Arcane_Languor

But 2 elites to event be functional isn't that great.

I'd argue a couple free attacks is better than a terrible elite that requires another bad elite to function.

actually i liked using clamor of souls, that was until they stuffed up ancestors rage majorly. this isn't an elite i no but ancestors rage needs 1/4 cast again...

im going to mention non-elite skills that are useless here because another thread was closed because of this one even though the other thread was of NON - Elite skills. here i go for Monk, Rit, Sin classes... (based mainly on classes i use)

Monk
DIVINE F
Divine Intervention - watchful intervention clearly clearly kicks this skills rear
Release Enchantments - slightly more health benefit plz
(PvP) Smiters Boon - WTF happened to that skill! 25 energy 90 sec recharge for an enchant that lasts 5 seconds... hmmm am i missing something?
Spell Shield - just no one uses it. cbs going in detail.
Watchful spirit - i know i wouldn't use this mid match
HEAL
Supportive Spirit - for how much health it heals, and for execution condition, 10 energy cost i believe is too high.
Words of comfort - may be good in some cases, but is bad when theres deep wound. id rather use a condition removal spell.
PROT
Convert hexes - too circumstantial for its energy cost. But can be real good if circumstances are met.
Shield guardian - health gain needs to be increased. i know a way to spam this skill constantly without energy loss and yet i believe you'll achieve more with orison of healing. or change functionality to something like...
"For 5 secs target other ally has 75% chance of blocking. That ally is healed for 18...38 health whenever they block"
SMITE
Balthazars Aura - who uses it? but i could be wrong...
Banish - meh ... maybe there should be a pvp version of this spell (more damage).
Judges Intervention - too risky
Reversal of Damage - "For 8 secs, next time enemy hits you, they are damaged for that amount instead and you are healed for double that. (max 5...40)"
Symbol of Wrath - either just cast time to 1, or lessen recharge slightly.

Ritualist
CHANNEL
Agony - useless all round with the exception of using it in RA. dies to quickly otherwise.
(PvP)Ancestors rage - revert to 1/4 cast at least
Lamentation - wow .. conditional with 20 sec recharge for 63 dmg?!? maybe make it 1/4 cast or something.
COMMUNE
Anguished was Lingwah - only good for start of a match
Ghostly Weapon - how many times do you want to spam a skill like this? a redundant skill imo when there are more effective substitutes.
Dulled Weapon - was this skill mainly made to counter assassins?!?! "Hex Spell. For 10 secs, target foe does 4...12 less damage when using attack skills and cannot achieve critical hits."
RESTORE
Ghost mirror Light - Just because i believe its the shittest spell in the restoration category.

Assassin
CRIT
Malicious Strike - i find is only good for wounding strike sin. alterations needed.
Sharpen Daggers - Change back to "when achieve critical hit target for suffers from bleeding". make it a skill that's meant more for assassins. my dulled weapon sounds like its good against something now :P
DAGGER MASTERY
Desperate Strike - increase the conditional aspect "If you have less than 60...80% Health, you deal +15...48 damage" that way you don't need the highest dagger mastery out there.
Horns of the Ox - swap damage output with Trampling Ox's dmg output.
Repeating Strike - useless
DEADLY
Lift Enchantment - needs something else with it...
Vampiric Assault - this belongs in dagger mastery imo.

A suggestion for the War elite 'Hundred Blades': "Skill. For 8 secs, whenever you successfully hit, you hit twice"

if you think woh is the worst monk elite you're an epic fail troll. nobody could be that bad at anything.

let me get this straight.
you think BHA is so good you'd call it broken and imba, but you think it's the worst elite?
are we playing by the rules of "guild wars" or the rules of "guild wars ethics according to bhavv"?

ignoring the obvious fact that this statement betrays your fail as a gamer or as a troll, i'd think you would use this criticism for other classes who suffer significantly from being blinded if you were really that bad. however, that would give me fewer things to lol at so i'm glad you didn't.

I'll not be popping off skills for classes that I've not played/have little experience in.
Paragon, Mesmer, Warrior, Dervish and for the most part Ranger. Though, Quickshot is pretty bad.

Necromancer: It's sort of a toss-up. Weaken Knees and Cultist's Fervor.
Monk: Glimmer of Light.
Elementalist: Second Wind.
Assassin: Wastrel's Collapse and Shadow Meld are both pretty up there for the Crap award. :/
Ritualist: Preservation.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! Phew...

Wow, funny, man. Seriously, though, Avatar of Lyssa's one of the top 3 PvE Dervish Elites; the other two being Wounding Strike and Arcane Zeal (Orders Dervish). You can include Vow of Silence, to, if you think running actually counts as a form of playing Guild Wars. :P

Oh, and Avatar of Balthazar is crap. Everything it does can be replicated with non-elites.
