Alright, this one is a bit more difficult that the other one.

Off the top of my head, the worst Elite is basically any Ranger Spirit Elite. But more specifically, Equinox, because it rarely helps you. Sure, you can combo it with Arcane Languor, but that's 2 Elites. And it doesn't do much.

No such thing as the worst skill. Stupid question to ask or answer. Sure there are moves that work better in PvE than PvP or vice virsa, but there is no such thing as the best skill or worst skill depends on the build and with most elites the elite is the build. GG

Second Wind is AWESOME. If you use it with good energy management and a +30/-2 set.
It's not a bad elite, at all.

Keystone Signet. Maybe it would be useful if it recharged res signet, but it doesnt.

It's not a bad elite, at all. Needing great energy management to be able to use an elite that's supposed be an energy management skill is completely retarded.

PnH is pretty bad. Wither is owned by Malaise. Unyielding Aura's only use is to rez people and kill them again. Keystone Signet is pretty useless too.

Eh, this is one of those things where "One man's junk is another man's treasure" situations. Personally, i felt so happy when I capped my first elite skill, only for it to turn out to be nothing i'll ever use; Warrior's endurance.
Don't need, kthx.

Quick shot. It's not as good as Called Shot, Read the Wind, or Favorable Winds. And it's an elite.

The basic thought of a worst elite is really a matter of opinion and what you as a player are comfortable with.

Some elites may never be used,but having skills doesn't mean that they will always be used or needed. Also,take into account the cookie cutter syndrome that is now in PvP. You can't afford to be inventive if everyone is using elite skill X.

That makes an elite skill like Archer's Signet look bad,when to have the ability to arrow down a guy for free and still keep shooting with full mana for a spike ranger that can be an awesome outing. But if you are playing a different build,it may look useless.Its all a matter of usefulness and opinion.

Second Wind is a great elite if you actually know how to use it.

Any energy management skill that requires NO investment in attributes is awesome. Especially when it gives as much raw energy as second wind.

2) It costs half of what galrath does
3) Guardian + Quivering + Plague Touch = screwed boon prot

Sorry to say, but you need to know what your talking about before you post.

Anyways, there are some pointless elites, but I dont think theres a worst.

Keystone sig, without a doubt. Even with new sigs in Factions, does anyone actually run with Keystone at all?

Signet of midnight is not really an elite for mesmers, it is one that makes a nice crossover, particularly for monks.

Signet of midnight is nice is a blackout build too, remember you don't have to spend points in Illusion to make it worthwhile

Quickshot is actually quicker than all shots except interupts. Called is normal attack speed but flyes faster. Anyway if they remove the reset attack time after the quick shot, it may become usefull.

And now the winner is...

SPOIL VICTOR!!!!
Go look at the discription, check several other necro spells, even mesmer one sand then try to think another.

And for most useless elite, I'll put in another vote for Keystone Signet. >_<
