Hello, I am new to this forum so I will start off by making a top 10 list of the best skills overall in Heroes Ascent. I will not put them all up at once, and build suspense up to the number one skill later on in the day.

#10.
Arcane Echo

This skill is very versatile in Heroes Ascent. It is mainly used by Ritualist to get a second warmonger weapon, and is also very frequently used by Elementalists to get a second Savannah Heat, which is a very powerful skill. Being able to use a skill again right after the first use can be game-changing, especially when used on a skill with a normally long recharge as you can use it twice very quickly. The only reason that this skill takes the cake over Echo is because it is not an elite, and allows you to duplicate elite skills. Overall, Arcane Echo is able to take the number 10 position.

#9.
Savannah Heat

Savannah Heat is one of the stronges forms of AoE an Elementalist can get. It gets stronger after every second that it is on the field, ending after five seconds and doing almost 100 damage on just that last second. With 14 points into fire magic, it will be doing 19+19 for each second its been on the field. If you do the math, it will do almost 285 damage. This skill only takes the position of number nine because for it to work properly it has to be coordinated with another character that can knock-down an opponent in the heat, or a snare Elementalist to keep the enemy from quickly escaping. Used correctly this skill could be higher on the list, but it needs two people to unlock its full potential.

More to come later.

I'd have to say Song of Concentration, for Altar maps ofcourse.

The AoE's are also with Song of Conc.

hmmm... so many good skills that you cant really compare them...

2. Distracting Shot- the godly non elite elite skill

confusing heh, well, it's non elite but it is better than most elites out there. this is only no. 2 because no. 1 is actually an elite...

1. Magebane Shot- the godly elite that is actually an elite

together with Distracting Shot Rangers just own every other caster in the face. a good Ranger can disable 3/4 sec cast and longer spells for such a long time...

Pretty sure you should just list monk bars.

Arcane echo is not a top skill.
Savannah heat is used alot but not a top skill.

HB, RC, Channeling, Guardian, Aura of Stability, Infuse, Patient Spirit, Draw Conditions, Veil, Spirit Bond.

Tearz1993 · Jun 06, 2008, 06:53 PM // 18:53

Weapon of Warding and Song of Concentration

Makkert · Jun 06, 2008, 06:57 PM // 18:57

of course, 'best' is as subjective as hell, so 'most used' is probably better term.
Channeling is probably king of HA on those terms, (not counting the overobvious Res Sig).

Pretty much the top 10 most used skills in HA in non-sway groups.

Otherwise, escape.

Who here has been DShotted by the ghostly a disturbingly large amount? If anything, THAT is the #1 skill.

Otherwise, anything that keeps the monking backline from having the group drop (Heal Party, RC, Infuse, Draw Conditions). Without them, it would be attrition matches.
