- I used to love that Elite in FA ~ mmmm Juicy Flare Spammers!

I have heard rumour that this skill has a younger brother. He goes by the name of [Power Flux]....but I don't believe it.

Seems I have seen MANY of the elites posted here: Archer's Signet, Keystone SignetSymbols of Inspiration, Contagion, Defensive Anthem, Shroud of Silence, Amity, Healer Covenant, Light of Deliverance, Mirror of Ice, Plague Signet, Power Leech, Power Flux.

Can't really tell you of any elites that I haven't heard of though since I haven't heard of them. Don't some you ever just look at skills in game even if you won't use them? That's what I do, hence why I've seen or remember many of these "never heard of" skills.

I love Power Flux/Leech but I suck at interrupts and they're hexes too. I have a feeling that they'd get ripped off fast or I'd miss. I wish I could use them.

You seem to have missed the point good Sir.

I guess I'm the first one to notice this; might want to check out the duration at 0 Expertise. I'll give you a hint: [Archer's [email protected]] Edit: Meh, Kumu beat me. QQ

Anyway, I can think of times when over half of Archress's list was commonly seen -

[You're All Alone!] - used by sins to get a free cripple in their chains
[Contagion] - ever played Jade Quarry?
[Defensive Anthem] - back when Motivation was usable, used all the time in PvP - but without Motivation paras disappeared
[Healer's Covenant] - Patient Spirit abuse
[Light of Deliverance] - this was as common as WoH before WoH was uber-buffed and this nerfed
[Mirror of Ice] - FC water says hai, especially after Icy Shackles nerf
[Shroud of Silence] - this skill was retarded before being wiped off the map, original version was 3-10 seconds which is like Blackout on crack against monks

The rest, I can't think of. As for uncommon elites that are fun to use, [[Auspicious Incantation] + [[Panic] is great fun in RA to jam on teams as they ball up and rush you

This ranger build based on double condition time should almost guarantee bringing [epidemic], as well as a few other conditions (poison/burn/bleed)...

As it is, seems like a really bad para or nec 'prot' hero...

WTF - takes 1 second to cast signet, then 2 seconds for spell.

Seems legit (easy to interrupt - thus NOT UNCONDITIONAL), but does it work that way? I'd guess YES, it does work, as that is the skill description...

EDIT: Ra/E...

It's not as crucial as it is in PvP. The increased recharge time of skills D-Shot gives is only useful on particularly resilient foes with potent heals keeping them alive. I'm talking about Orison of Healing on Mursaat Monk Bosses, Healing Signet spamming Warrior Bosses, Rits spamming Mend Body and Soul, and the like. Savage Shot has a shorter recharge, and in a well made build (ie. one such that the increased energy for Savage Shot is no issue), it's a fine replacement where D-Shot wouldn't be extremely beneficial to the team. D-Shot is also good as a supplementary interrupt, where more than one may be required due to it's ease of use.

[Depravity] - don't think I've ever seen this used.
[Glimmering Mark] - I can't even think of a good use for this.
[Reaper's Mark] - or that.

I did the whole Nightfall with my Factions born Necromancer with reaper's mark. The thing is that when i didn't know about AP, it was one of the most viable energy gain means for a necro.

Wait, what?
You're a necromancer! You already have Soul Reaping!
The fact that Reaper's Mark being pure energy gain is what makes it so useless.

Cuilan · May 17, 2009, 05:55 PM // 17:55

Never had a Paragon, Warrior, or Dervish for long (also Ritualist to some extent). I don't know most of their elites. Just last night I was looking at Warrior elite...I see why they're aren't so good in PvE anymore.

[Cultist's Fervor]
[Depravity]
[Star Burst]
[Restore Condition]
[Word of Censure]
[Shield of Judgment]
[Destructive Was Glaive]

Some of these aren't so great.

1) Was kinda nice to degen stuff sometimes
2) Hex for Discway, quick recharge, covers its own cost very well combined with SR
3) Look again at 2)
4) And if you haven't noticed stuff in NF has nice spells like Esurge, debilitating shot. On top of that, interrupts are nothing since you don't have to recast it (lasts 30 seconds lol, AP is 14 at most) and you have more time to spam that wonderful barbs + Mark of Pain
