I'm having trouble making a decision between these 3 crippling skills. [skill]Aura of Thorns[/skill] [skill]Veil of Thorns[/skill] [skill]Crippling Sweep[/skill] Some opinions on these skills?

Crippling Sweep. Lowest recharge, and in a better overall attribute line.

I'd go for the last one. Low cost, reasonable recharge and for the codition, a Dervish has most of the time a few enchantments on him anyway.

crippling sweep is the only reasonable option. I would go with harrier's grasp or crippling victory though.

aura of thorns is just terrible, and veil of thorns is only good with armor of sanctity.

Crippling Sweep is the best choice.

If AoT was in mysticism instead of shitty earth prayers, it might be semi-worth considering. But it's not. Leaving you with crip sweep.

I might use that, if I didn't want a nearby enchant removal instead, for builds brandishing Pious Asault.
