Hey Folks,
Tried search and didn't find anything similar yet...

I am the type of guy who has 8 characters and enjoys the variety of skills and play styles of this game ... with Eye of the north though i encountered a problem:

I don't have the time and patience to get all the pve skills for all professions and at the same time grind them to a decent level.

So I wonder what pve skills you use most often for what profession?
(I know it depends on build and circumstance but bla bla bla)

General consensus I think is established that for every profession

Light of Deldimor,
Pain inverter and Ursan Blessing are a must have...

what else is cool?

Examples:

Warrior: Brawling Headbutt Knock down is always fun and with Stonefist insignia even better

Riutalist: Summon Ice Imp - gets benefit from spawning power .. nice slow down with ice spikes

Thanks in advance and I hope this makes some sense =)

For some odd reason I currently like "You Move Like A Dwarf".

Nice having a good shout on my mesmer.

"I am unstoppable" Great for runners as its a shout it works well with stances

"Drunken Master" increased attack speed and movement , can be kept up all the time
(I use sentry insignia so this gives me +10 armour all the time

Brawling Headbutt + You move like a dwarf - 2 knockdowns on my warrior without having to go hammer

Leet ranger hax: Dwarven Stability (an enchant that increases stance duration) and Lightning Reflexes. 20 or 22 seconds of LR on a 30 recharge? Yes plz.

Leet warrior hax: Savio was using Brawling Headbutt, something, Dragon Slash, because you can repeat it forever and pretty much perma-KD anything, which is especially nice against bosses.

Breath of the Great Dwarf is pretty good too, especially for fighting Searing Flames-using enemies.

Brawling Headbutt, Steelfang Slash, Dragon Slash would be so awesomely fun to use.

When I'm playing with my Ele friend, I make them bring Great Dwarf Weapon. GDW+Critical Agility on my sin=ownage.

We were doing some dungeon with the undead boss, that has rangers all around it. Put strength and honor, GDW, Judge's Insight, crit agility and "I Am The Strongest" on me. 293 with one hit from blades of steel. ^_^

My favourite PvE skill is Cry of Pain.

A solid interruption skill with reasonable cost and recharge, plus it does respectable armor ignoring AoE damage if you've been a good Mesmer and hexing your targets first.

On second thought... I was running with the Asuran skill "Air of Superiority"... that's actually an awesome skill. One of the effects is a 'recharge all skills', one of them removes conditions... it's a beauty. If you haven't tried it, give it a go.

Air of Superiority. Highly underrated. Everyone's always asking me about it when my character starts spamming shouts above her head. Recharges all skills outside of Resurrection signets. Great for maintaining "FGJ!" and "I am unstoppable!"
Not only that, but its also a small e-management skill, self-heal, and condition remover.

"Finish Him!" has been added permanently next to Triple Shot on my ranger's bar. Glass Arrows->Nightmare Weapon->Triple Shot->Forked Arrow->Dual Shot->"Finish Him!" kills most bosses dead in a matter of 3-4 seconds. When I went recapping a black moa for the HoM, I was in HM by mistake. Ran into Mungri Magicbox, took him out cold just like that, actually LOLed.

My mesmer enjoys Air of Superiority and Pain Inverter.

Imo there are some very good one, others are imot toal crap, Skills like the Asura Summon Skills imo destroy the PvE flair, when everyone can summon now in a sudden something ...

These Skills to summon monsters from GW, that would be much more awesome for a new own GW Class, not such dumb pve skills with such a silly restriction, that you can only summon 1 of them at a time -.-

those summon skills are in kind of this vs. certain others imo underpowered .. i dunno, why players should not be able to summon 3 creatures, when they put in 3 summon pve skills into their skill bars ....
However, i stay at my opinion, that those skils are in the moment crap and I think, it would be best, to remove them and exchange them with something defferent as new Asura Pve Skills for them

I miss for the Asura for example some real elementalist like AoE Spells, all those skills of the asuras are only hexes, enchants or so, ever only passive crap. But Dwarfs get mighty sounding Skills, like Blizzard, where Dwarfs are ya the somewhat of mighty magician race oO

Imo ANet failed with certain pve only skills really

Best PvE only Skil yet imo was nekrosis, before it got insta nerfed ... -.- ya, wheres the sence in making pve skills, when Anet nerfs them direct again to death, or tries it at least.....

My Mezzie is using Pain Inverter and Cry of Pain.

Cry of Pain is a much needed area damage in a fast recharging interrupt. Nice.

Pain Inverter is such a joy on Dervish and Axe opponents combined with Empathy. All of those pretty yellow negative numbers filling my screen warm my heart.

Gloria doesn't get the question.

PvE skills == PvE only, like GWEN/SS/LB skills.

I've been liking I Am the Strongest lately...but it depends on where I am. In undead-heavy areas, I've been using Light of Deldrimor and I Am Unstoppable(for the cripple from the ghouls).

Air of superiority in snowman's lair = rawk. Pain inverter vs Remnant of Antiquities was lol-worthy.
