I'm going to have to say Shatterstone. It's like Incendiary Bonds only worse in pretty much every way.

Please read this before saying any other skill..
The only good thing about this skill is its icon which isn't that good anyways..

worst elite in the game?

howabout Malaise... I used to think that skill would rock the block.. but all too often, the target drops to 0 energy so quick that i wonder why its elite, and even more wonder why im using it.

Keystone Signet

NinjaKai · Aug 13, 2006, 01:52 PM // 13:52

Poison Arrow

I've never seen such a worthless elite.

Keystone signet is very very good if you're running a signet mesmer. This means you can have sig of weariness, sig of humility casted casted every 15 seconds (combo'd with mantra of inscriptions). Many other signet skills also apply (leech sig, etc.)

As for poison arrow, it's cheap, and it's good for situations where you don't have enough time to put on apply poison. Though I have to admit it isn't the best elite out there.

Locust's Fury {E} + Bestial Fury on yourself
Poisonous Bite + Call of Haste on your pet

i got owned so fast by this build...i saw more numbers above me then a R/E dual-flame spike build!

combined with Predatory Season you can really keep yourself alive and lower healing abilites of your target

as for shatterstone... Shatterstone + vapor blade = the new ele spike build

as for Skull Crack... its been buffed to need less adrenaline, and now has a 1/4 usage time..makeing it very viable

worst elite imo is...umm...hmmm....i havent found much use for Primal Rage i guess...even with hammers you hit to slow to make any difference. Maybe if it increased attack speed...it would be great. But then it would own on a A/W running high dagger mastery :/

Omg, A Build With Archers Signet!

Vermilion Okeanos · Aug 14, 2006, 01:31 AM // 01:31

Nothing beat spirit light weapon...

Not even keystone, not even archer signet. Spirit light weapon is the ultimate trash.

The last time I use spirit light weapon, it is even bugged and can't last on ally for over 1 sec with 16 restoration magic and right on a spirit. (you can only maintain it on yourself.

B§x¿44¶»1@$ · Aug 14, 2006, 01:45 AM // 01:45

Ultimately, every skill can be utilized one way or another to be the most effective build in it's class- but a good 75% of the time it'll be the only build in it's class. HIOH.

Hmmm, I'm a ranger myself... I personally would have to say Melandru's Shot...

Arcador · Aug 14, 2006, 11:00 AM // 11:00

Archer's signet can have a lot of uses. Especially with 25e concission shot.

Coward is pretty cool skill for no atribute one. Also it got NO recharge (adrenalin) thus can be pretty hand for secondary war clas. A mesmer which uses it along with gale can be pretty frustating. It is also an Instant.

Althou spirit Light weapon is pretty weak, it can be spammed easily among allys. Anyway it can use a boost since it overs if not near spirit.

Melandru's Shot is quite a high punch devastator, at 15 it adds +35 dmg which can compete with many Melee skills. With some preparation you can deliver 120+ dmg as a part ranged 1 strike spike.

Weaken Knees is VERY good spell for GvG, put a necro which will cast it over the pressured foe every 10 seconds and the enemy soon will cry in frustation ESPECIALLY if some KD warrior is behind him. It is excelent anti Kite, ALSO it is so cheap and fast rechargind it can be used as cover hex. For 30+ secs it will not even require a good speak coord.

All this elites have uses in certain builds, but dude still noone can beat the one and only time favorite - SPOIL VICTOR - the skill that BARELY WORKS EVEN IN PVE. It is like in conflict with itself...
Edit: Just aded - SHOVE, A WAY too much restrictions for an ELITE.

Vermilion Okeanos · Aug 14, 2006, 12:16 PM // 12:16

Dude, spoil victor got more use than you think. It is a counter offensive skill that can turn tables if used right.

Xpl0iter · Aug 15, 2006, 01:36 PM // 13:36

all new faction energy elites for ele.
People with "Second Wind is GOOD" chant... WTFUsoHighonWater!!!! *sigh*
exhaustion on energy gain while there is a freaggin recharge. its not so spammable that exhaustion addition was neccessary.

Terra Xin · Aug 16, 2006, 12:18 PM // 12:18

worst elite in the game...

Defiant Was Xinrae - 25 energy + item spell is not a good thing... and 10 seconds... and disable for 17 seconds.... what are you being killed by... flare?

qazwersder · Aug 17, 2006, 02:42 PM // 14:42

I dont think that ele elite skills are useless its just you cant use them becasuse you have to use an energy elite. The mind skills aren't so bad, 42 damage then double damage and another effect if you got more energy than your target, not bad if im running 80 energy, problem is i can use it because to keep my energy up i have to use elemental attunement.

Second wind isnt a bad skill. Its especially useful if it is the only exhaustion causing skill on your bar. Run 80+ energy (maybe +30 -2) and you have constant 40 energy. Obviously this does depend on the skills in you build, if you use it too often you will exhaust yourself to death. I like to use it as an air ele.
