Best skill use you've ever seen?

So now we're going from 'best skill use' to 'best combination of skills'?

I used Cry of Frustration on Cry of Frustration of enemy, which led to him spamming profanities in all chat and things about me being a hacker, anyway he Cried out in Frustration

Mmm...
you guys don't see good usage of skills often, do you.
Just go on obs mode, and look for gvg games involving [dR] Dark Alley
Just watch Tommy monk.
That's probably the best skill use compacted I've ever seen compacted into an individual. It's fairly impressive, no matter how times you've seen it.

killing a whole balanced team (necro, monk, warrior, ranger) in RA with my Warrior. the ranger was too bad to stop my healing, so once the necro went down (pressure on the monk, then spiked the nec), i killed the monk, necro was ressed, killed the necro, killed the ranger, and the warrior was easiest and last... some nooby dude who wasnt really dealing damage anyhow lol..
wasnt really all that amazing, but once it was over, they all practically devoted their gaming to "getting good like that" (not that great lol) and to this day PM me updating how "good" they're getting.
@disscussion, the skill use was Vital Boon and Sig of Pious on a hammer warrior (dev, crush, mighty, frenzy, rush, vital, sig, res 12+1+1, earth 12, 3 str)
the heal is sweet in RA/AB and it allows me to keep ticking like mad. :P

Tommy's usage of Aegis and the philosophy behind is use of it still remains to me a brilliant usage of a powerful but at times unwieldy skill.
Can't think of any specific moments at the time. Just go on obs mode.
You can not use skills well in PvP with ease, most people do.
I.E. a notable top level player who despite his good pressure, couldn't quite understand when to not use Frenzy.

For me, it's anything that involves a combination of PUGs and Unyielding Aura.

Don't have much time to take notice of what others are doing all the time, playing mesmer i tend to be casting fast and furious round the whole area of battle,
I tend to think i have done something good in AB when after of two assassins comming up to kill me and being wiped with my fast casting air nuker build i find i'm being chased by several of the opposing team

2v2 tourney
Ranger partner dead, so focus fire is being put on me.
, I activated dark escape and went around the ledge (isle of solitudes map)
Ele couldn't get me as I was just out of aggro range, I had long enough Dark escape time to get to the other side and activate Res sig, taking half damage of course.
By this, I attacked the monk, had her in a daze, Ranger was dying again, Ele had him knocked down, Tab'd to ele, interrupted the Obsidian Flame (that would of killed) shouted Ranger to run, while I took front of damage. Activated Horn's on the Monk, and quickly changed to the ele, Activating another combo >.> The monk needed to heal itself bad, and I had to save my ranger (with no res sig anymore) so I had to fore go the Monk, as the daze just about ran off.
Ranger came back and pressured monk, >.> got monk dazed again.
Ranger gave a nice Burning arrow and we finished off monk then ele.
>.> Although I guess my story is nooby.

Well this one time I played in a full Wammo team for kicks and we got in a match with Te. We cut the crap and ran straight past each other to take the guild lord. We took theirs down just a few seconds faster due to having an entire team dedicated to dps but it declared it a draw.
Wait, we were talking about best skill use right?

Actually now that I think about it, Best skill use?
How the hell does that work out?
Mesmer: Monk your taking damage
Monk: Im using Life sheath!
Mesmer: OMFG you used Life Sheath to protect your life!? THATS THE BEST WAY TO USE IT EVER!!11!!!pizza!!!!
You can really only use a skill the way it can be used >.>.
I think you mean best Skill combinations you've seen, as that can get a little more...exciting?
Best skill use is actually in TA team I had today.
Went with an assassin and 2 rits (full faction team ftw, got to 9 wins before I had to go eat)
The rit was taking damage, he could heal, but he ran to the other rit, who also heals and gives more defense to the team. and dropped the ashes knocking Both enemys pressuring them down. Instead of just saving himself >.>
I liked that.

More Outrage
My fav was using an air ele spiker in ab. Got pwned by an ass with a monkey on his back. Next time I meet him the monk was busy just out of agro so we ran toward each other and I pwned his ass and it happened again and again, lol. Serves him right.
And the necro ranger toucher who kept pwning me in ab after ab so I get out my mesmer and load up echo/diversion (and blackout - 1st time I used it and last time, didn`t know it disabled all my skills aswell). Serves us both right.

Ok, posted this in off-topic, but for those who don't go there.
Basicly this is what append:
We both run up to each other, when I target him, he cast Shadow form.
So instead of running up to him and loosing out straight to some massive spike. I just run around. When Shadow form ends, I turn around and use drunken blow on him
*BANG* 1 shot kill.
He then says "Only idiots run" and rage quits
Sorry I follow Sun Tzu and the eastern ways of war instead of the Western ways XD

Does me casting Crippling Anguish + Conjure Phantasm on a Dervish, then maintaining them on him while I walk away from him backwards count?
I know, nothing special at all, but it is hilarious to do.

I still stand by my PvE build for my war of 6 addren axe skills + Glyph of Essence and Meteor Shower
Pop glyph, agro mob, as they start the attack drop meteor shower and start with the adren building while my rit tosses either Nightmare Weapon or Splinter on me.

I still take great pleasure in d-shotting an assassin's lead or off-hand attack, especially while he's under an IAS. I even d-shotted AoD once during the costume brawl. Assassins can be so predictable

No rez sig?
Anyways... I used frustration on a monk, and the idiot tried to cast LoD. So in the time he was casting that I casted Diversion and slammed their party over. There was really, no contest.

I remember watching a game where [RenO] hid a sin behind the teleporter ramp on Imperial Isle and shadowsteped out when the other teams runner came out. Pretty funny to watch.

It's a shame that they renamed the skill though. "Signet of Might" sounds way better. Sort of like "Golden Rhino Bash".

I was running my Vengeful Ritualist at Aspy.
The Kurzick ranger and mesmer gang up on me. The mesmer drops Diversion. It hit me just as I was trying to use Vengeful Weapon. I was like - crap, no! BUT then the ranger interrupted my Vengeful before it completed thus saving it from getting diverted!
I almost thanked the ranger in public chat for that!
Guildmaster Cain
solo-Running to all towns in the elonian desert as a IW-sin, with skills in my bar like Feigned Neutrality, 2 Teleports to foe, Shadow Refuge and Dash. I was teleporting from foe to foe and dashing out.
Later that day, I used the same build to solo-pwn (well not really solo) Kuunavang. At around 80% of her health, she wiped out all my henchies and heroes... -.- The rest of her health I had to take down myself, only took 5 mins or so.

dying in RA running ZB as a monk because a certain curse necro always nailed it with an uncannily timed MoS..i only happened to remember it because that guy made more trouble for me than their interrupt ranger
Saphrium
in AB used a combination of skills which killed off two opponents: Sin and Ele
I was running W/A Lone Ganker.
First sin was rushing to me with dash, blocked his phoenix strike with shield bash, then ele caught up and start glyph sac+ meteor shower, I Shadow walk to her and start using attack skills, sin got up and rush to me, I YAAed him and ignored him, while keep attacking the ele while she is casting fireball and stuff. Ele is about half health and start casting Savannah Heat, right after she finish, i shadow step out with dash and used heal sig, sin rushed to me and got shield bashed again on the phoenix, then i started attacking the sin, whose chipping damage is not gonna hurt me anyway, ele caught with us again and start casting fireball, i shadow walk to her, fireball missed and also used YAA on sin, sin is cripple and walking towards me and i killed the ele during time. Which afterwards I killed the sin with cripple, weakness and shield bash.
basically sin never pulled off a combo on me, and ele never got to nuke me.
shield bash, dash, shadow walk, heal sig, YAA, attack skills

And I was being stance-removed...I saw Wild Blow and Wild stab or whatever sin stance removal skill they have pop up a couple times.
I've done a bunch of other stuff that seemed cool to me at the time but would probably be called noobish by the elitists here who probably run around Kamadan and TA lobby flashing their /rank whenever they can.

I'd say my best skill usage (which was really more luck) was interrupting a ranger's dshot at 0:06 remaining in old halls, allowing us to cap and win. I was shocked that I actually managed it.
