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.
either way im still gonna stick withs Grenths Balance

The dwarven skills from eotn are definately my favorite reputation line, second being norn.

I like light of delrimore and great dwarve armor are my most used.

I wanna get my ranger over too for "I am the Strongest" barraging.

I really haven't tried to access factions skills yet..I know I should. I just haven't been too successful at FFFing. Plus getting to where I can get the skills with characters fresh to Factions is kinda annoying.


I gotta try pain inverter in Dragimarr now!

WOW Great Input guyz!

Thanks a bunch and keep it coming!!!

My favorites on my "To do list" so far:

Ranger: Dwarven Stability + Lightning Reflexes (cracking idea)

Warrior: Brawling Headbutt + Dragon slash (KD rocks)

Paragon: Save Yourselves + There is nothing to fear (obvious)

Mesmer: cry of pain + pain inverter (still looking for some more less obvious)

Assassin: Critical Agility + ?? (any particular outstanding synergy?)

Necromancer: Necrosis + ??

Dervish: Air of Superiority + Eternal Aura (looks nice gonna try it)

And for all of em: Ursan Blessing, SS res sig (of no other hard res suitable), Light of Deldimor ...

And homework for everyone: Gotta have used once "You move like a Dwarf!" on a Stone Summit

Still looking for Ritualists, Elementalists and Monks here...

Great stuff,
Timebandit

p.s. favorite underdog skill Ebon assassin support - for sure gonna try that one now

Time Bandit... use Air of Superiority on your mesmer. Nice to have everything suddenly recharge suddenly. Makes a mesmer tingly.

In some of my ele builds I carry "Finish Him!"

It works really well if you follow up with Liquid Flame... usually kills the foe.

Bleeding + Signet of Infection -> Disease
This Lead attack causing blindness.

In general, Vael has some good PvE stuff, mostly useful for Assassins.

But as a Necro, my fave PvE skills is NECROSIS. The Norn Bear Form is awesome too, but I hate that I do not turn into a bear, so 2nd place.

I have been using Radiation Field quite a bit on my monk (when I go smite). Nice AoE degen skill, in my opinion.

Finish Him is awesome. Pain Inverter is even better. I love how they go with any profession.

I use necrosis on my warrior and necro.

Assassin: Critical Agility + ?? (any particular outstanding synergy?)
Critical Defenses, crit barrager.

Summon Spirits when using spirits in PvE. (Mostly not though. Except for farming Charr.)

Otherwise I will sometimes bring Pain Inverter, Air of Superiority, or Aura of Holy Might.

Most of the time though my skill bar contains no PvE-only skills.

Assassin support works great as an interrupt skill. I use it on my Ranger, and it gives me another interrupt as well as some damage output. If the target has a condition or hex, the first skill the Assassin uses is Iron Palm, which will knockdown the target. Time it right, and its a nice interrupt.

Signet of Illusions + any PvE spell is very nice if you don't have a title track maxed out.

Mindbender is great for any spell caster with long cast time spells.

Technobabble is amazing against groups of casters - like the Charr.

Ebon Battle Standard of Wisdom is good for Eles with long recharge skills.

My favorite, as a Ranger, is Triple Shot. I use that all the time, and it does amazing damage with Glass Arrows.

There's Nothing To Fear and Save Yourselves by far.

Other skills worth mentioning imo: You Move Like a Dwarf, Breath of the Great Dwarf. Nothing like as good as TNTF and SY but amazing all the same

Air of Superiority. You have no idea how beautiful it is until you've used it in the toughest places.

Sir, I don't believe that's a PvE skill...

The Kurzick/Luxon monk skill is good for energy if you are a healer/protter. I've never done that before, so I've never used it. XD

You enemy can be distracted, diverted, and even humiliated, but they are really in trouble if they get inverted...

Air of Superiority could work for Rt Lords, but AP may be more reliable.

Fevered Dreams + You Move Like a Dwarf + Finish Him is fun :P

Pain Inverter is sexy, no doubt. Though I think my favorite is Summon Mursaat, just because having one of those as a pet is so fun.

Do your bidding? Ha! Do my bidding!

Ursan Blessing. No matter what proffesion, theres nothing quite like getting into bear form (too bad no changing of form though ) and using the skills. IMO, they're pretty powerful, I'd like to see a full bear party someday (or at least with a monk or two rather)

Hey Guyz,

I had lots of fun trying out some your tips and tricks ... and of course tracking down the skills in the first place ... now comes the grind but hey

One question: Why do all Necros love Necrosis so much and I didn't hear any Mesmer go like "oh necrosis is soo awesome" after my first glance it looked good on a mesmer bar to me too ...

(Or is it like I always suspected: Mesmers actually hate Necros and Necros hate Mesmers but more in the way of ignoring each other while stealing their skills)

This is NOT the End .. keep it coming! I enjoy your ideas a lot...

Cheers,
Timebandit

I suspect the reason is energy issues with spamming it as a mesmer. on a necro its incredibly powerful as hexes and conditions are what they do best.
Hex,Cooldown (necrosis), death, mana. /repeat.

mesmers are also usually to busy to spam a direct kill skill like necrosis in my experience.

anyways my fav skills: Necrosis ^^, Air of superiority, SS Rb sig.

I think there are some mesmers who hate necros.
I mean necros have the cool armour and cool hexes.
And lately I think I've been having necro envy as I mainly use necro skills with Signet of Illusions.
I feel like a backstabber.
