Worst Elite in the Game

I disagree. As pointed out in other threads I've read before one of the stupidest skills and worst in my opinion from my experience is Otygh's Outcry (sp?). Basically a ranger skill that calls all creatures to battle within the area. All creatures are level 5 and do absolutely nothing of any good. If you read the rest of the skill description, it also gives each animal +20 armor for its entire duration. In a barrage/pet party build or any group with several pets, that +20 armor for all animals for only five energy and one skill slot is pretty effective. It turns pets from reasonable tanks into good tanks. The effect of making animals hostile to target is secondary to the armor bonus.

gimme good reason why i would be joking

life transfer = such a long recharge and yet you could cause a sustained degeneration using necro non elites and sustain it longer without any pesky recharges, this might be good with 1v1, for one shot kinda deal, but dunno about using it regulary. . .

flesh golem = only thing i could think of this thing to be is an elite minion bombing corpse, sure its lvl 26-28(depending on item used), but i can think of so many other elites i would rather have instead of flesh golem to help my mming, i go pure full bone fiend, and i have had the best results going full fiend mm, my mm can output damage like crazy using all fiends, and plus im superstitous on this skill, ive tryd it out, but for some reason i have better luck and results going full fiends while doing stuff, plus imo OoB is better in this slot imo, i use blood in my mm build anyway because of dark bond I have to agree on the life transfer portion of this post, HOWEVER, I believe you are very very wrong about Animate Flesh Golem.

The Flesh Golem is the ONLY minion with an exploitable corpse, meaning you can have a Golem on the field CONSTANTLY, and in PvP it can do OVER a hundred damage every hit to casters. I've seen it tank three warriors at once, and the MM constantly kept it up with Verata's Sacrifice, while the warriors tried in vain to kill it. They can be an extreme pain to a monk who overlooks them and takes a nice chunk of damage from the first hit.

They can also take down elementalists who dont think them a threat, and they are dead within about 10 seconds if you also have a warrior. Bone Fiends may be effective, BUT Flesh Golems can pwn them 1v1, which means they are an overall better minion. This is a STAPLE in all PvE MM builds that are past Senji's Corner.

You don't NEED elite energy management if you take Flesh Golem because it costs 15 energy wheras Bone Fiends take 25 energy. PLUS you dont need to put any points at all into blood magic, unless you have blood at like 16, it's a net gain of pretty much 10 energy, this with a health loss of around 100 if you have 500 health, or 80 if you're using a Superior Rune. This gain is NOT worth it.

bad elite skills: locust's fury. Cleave (eviscerate is always going to be better). Every elite spirit is terrible. Spoil victor has been named. It's very bad. The aforementioned archer's signet. Most of the mesmer elites are pretty bad.

That's pretty much all of them. Spoil Victor+55monk=PWNAGE, not only is it life stealing, which makes it better than Spiteful Spirit, it does more damage.

Archer's Signet+Concussion Shot Interruptor=FTW

Locust's Fury isn't horrible, a 20% chance to DOUBLE STRIKE is better than a 20% chance to have an extra 6-9 dmg from Sundering.

Cleave=Decent Spammability makes it NOT a bad elite skill, you can take Dismember for Deep Wound in a build that used Cleave (I agree on your sentiment that Eviscerate is way better though).

I can name an awesume mesmer elite right off the bat, actually a few: Energy Drain, Mantra of Recall (both used by Boon Prots), Ineptitude, Energy Surge.

ok so the winner is amity
right? Amity can be useful with a Monk or Assassin who is near death at the hands of a warrior, but if you dont coordinate with your team it wont work. I think there are way better monk elites, so yet, Amity WINS!
