Just A few that if anything should be used more often
Defile defenses, great as a cover hex especialy with barbs/ mark of pain
Channeling, If your surounded by mobs and your casting lots of spells...
Spoil Victor, Ridiculous damage, IMO better than SS once your used to it.
Maelstrom, If only it was in fire magic line,

Note that only maelstrom's damage scale with water magic. You still get the full interruption thing at 0 water

I like YAA. not really used anymore but still great to me

It's nice spammable damage. With "for great justice" you can pretty much just mash that button.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

I think most peoply find it too unwieldly, but it has helped my mesmer score a respectable number of victories in RA (I tend to shy away from more organized pvp). I like to wait until I'm down to about ten energy... Agreed very underused, you may consider switching to your low energy set, for quicker use.

I don't see this skill that much but back in the day, it really kicked arse.
I used it once in PvP and surprisingly, it still worked very well

Master Dolyak*shiver* xD

I think it's pretty underused, correct me if im wrong..

there are reasons for that Personally I think that Flail is probably more popular to those who have Nightfall. Meshing flail with rush is probably more popular in Nightfall onwards anyways.

Mind Freeze when I'm feeling particularly evil and head into RA/TA. Should hear the touch rangers bitch and moan about it being lame.
Aracane Languor is a close second, when combined to with Aneurysm poping an ele for like 100 dmg is very fun.
