What are they?
I have seen a few people talking about "utility skills" and I have absolutely no i dea what one is so...examples please?
All I can assume is it is a skill which allows you to do something but...other than that I don't know what these skills might be or if I am even right...
Utility SKills
Cebe
Effendi Westland
skills that do not directly effect the opponent but give an strategical advantage, usually in pvp context.
examples:
wards
windborn speed

I'm going to quote myself here...
In short, skills that can be used defensively and offensively. I find Wards not exactly a prime example, unless you talk about Ward against Foes.

Yes I had ward vs foes in mind 
When do you need utility?
example: Relic run map in HA

If you are going as an Illusion health degen mesmer any non degen skill can be seen as utility I suppose
Distortion is a "good" utility skill when a melee attacks you
Energy Tap/Energy Drain are good for gaining energy so that you can keep degen their health
Hope this helps

Hmmmm....
Distortion = defense?
Energy Tap/Drain = energy management?
I think of utility spells as having more of a team benefit or at least others on the team, like necros providing energy regen boosts for others.
