I've noticed from time to time while capping skills that I come across some that for whatever reason go well together... or at least would serve as back-up in a pinch.

For instance... this little shot of my capping in Mineral Springs:

It amused me to think of the number of times I've had Assassin's Promise interrupted.... or ruined by kiting monks ... and I figured that at least for the rest of that area, I'll have another means of getting my skills (and a little bit of energy) back.

There was also the time when I capped Locust's Fury.... and I was using Illusionary Weaponry at the time. I was totally rampaging that day.

Anyone else ever had any fortuitous combinations while skill-capping?

Never had a chance but.

Incendiary Arrows and Practiced Stance. Would only last about 30 seconds...

I remember having Ritual Lord and Wanderlust before they nerfed Rit Lord/Boon.

Practiced Stance + Incendiary Arrows was a fun one I had once when I capped Practice in Mineral Springs a long long time ago.

The best screenshot I've ever taken was of my N/Mo capping in Perdition Rock. I left ELC with six Signets of Capture; I was fortunate enough to have five of the bosses spawn on the first run. As a result I ended the journey with six (!) elites on my skillbar.

Echo + Dragon Slash hands down.

You get two copies of it, and using one charges up the other. (5+5=10)

No, it won't. Adrenaline gain is capped at 200%, and IH doesn't give any extra gain from skills, unlike "FGJ!".

- While in the effect of both skills, you gain +100% adrenaline from normal fighting and +50% from skills But anyway, DS + Echo is fun.
