What are some of the most useless skills in GW?

I was just wondering what you consider some of the most useless skills in GW and I really mean the skills nobody uses, skills even noobs don't touch, excluding all PvE only skills to prevent flaming. Just a few examples I find nearly completely useless:

Assassin

• Fox Fangs
• Shroud of Silence [E]
• Wastrel's Collapse [E]

Elementalist

• Elemental Flame
• Iron Mist
• Swirling Aura
• Energy Boon[E]
• Ether Prodigy[E]
• Mirror of Ice[E]
• Second Wind [E]

Mesmer

• Etheral Burden/Kitah's Burden
• Persistence of Memory

Monk

• Healing Ring
• Light of Dwayna
• Protective Bond
• Amity [E]
• Balthazar's Pendulum [E]
• Peace and Harmony [E]

Paragon

• "The Power Is Yours!" [E]
• Incoming [E]

Ranger

• Expert's Dexterity [E]

Ritualist

• Armor of Unfeeling
• Restoration
• Weapon of Aggression
• Xinrae's Weapon [E]

Warrior

• "You Will Die"
• "Watch Yourself!"
• Deflect Arrows
• Enraged Smash [E]

I'll add/remove to the list as needed.

Edit:
Gift of Health removed from the list

Headbutt removed from the list [I was aware of the W/N plague option, but 15 energy seems a lot and there are better ways to cause dazed IMO, regardlessly enough people mentioned it to be removed.]

Amity added to the list [I was kind of reluctant to add it since I can see some use for the skill (e.g. to disable a group of enemies and picking them off one by one, although practically it's not very realistic), also there is a non-elite skill alternative that can mostly replace it, only difference is that it only disables one enemy (i.e. a boss) which I do feel could be usefull so I will not be adding "Pacifism", and enough people mentioned it.]

"Watch Yourself!"

Edit: I mean, it used to be commonly ran in AB... now I never see it anymore, not in any PuGs, not in AB, not in RA... RIP watch yourself, you will be loved and missed.

Peace and Harmony has to be the worst elite ever.

Gift of Health? ... 2 monk backline RC mebbeeee?
><
Imo, every skill is useful, as long as you find a purpose for it, orrrrr a combination of skills thats decent with that 1 skill.

[skill]Wastrel's Collapse[/skill]?

if you serch this, this is kind of an old thread, and im not usually one to complain about that, im just warning you that there are other elitist that will be kinda jerky once they see that...


imo Wastrels and Visions of Regret. I also dont like Xinraes anything.

Seriously.. What the hell is the purpose of that lol.

Out of the three you mention, to my knowledge only Light of Dwayna has never been useful. The original 55's used protective bond. Gift of health is very useful when running a prot build, it provides a lot of health for your level in healing prayers, used to be used all the time in 2 monk backlines.

There are other threads about this tho, worst elite skills and worst skills.

Im not sure on my opinion of the worst.

o.O @ Wastrel's Collapse. Taking up an elite space, really?

/shame

I used Peace and Harmony on my monk through the jungle I was new and thought it was oh-so-shiny.

Wastrels Collapse really sucks...


Wail of Doom FTW!

they should really change that skill :/
if they're editing skills like WoD why don't change WC :/
should start making some oppinions on how to change WC into something useful

[skill]Iron Mist[/skill] owns

Er, I still use Gift of Health on my hybrid monk heroes for some nice heals. They're too dumb to use Dwayna's Kiss to full effectiveness.

Light of Dwayna did have a purpose at one time, when EoE bomb was run in Halls. They put Mark of Protection on a mesmer with it, everyone sacced, the mesmer survived and ressed everyone, everyone sacced again. GG (against idiots who didn't interrupt the mes, kill the spirit, or run out of range...)

<trollmode>Ursan Blessing</trollmode>

What apes are saying Gift Of Health is useless btw? it has been used a lot on prot bars :S

Chain echo Iron mist in RA is guaranteed to get some laffs, I imagine. Just..not from your own team.

As stated earlier, pretty much all skills have a use. It's your job to find it.

Didn't know this was already discussed so much, sorry for the repeat I was just intrested in creating a list of least used skills. Didn't know how to search for these kinds of threads I'll try searching "worst skills" threads.

Explain to me how Light of Dwayna, Protective Bond could possibly have a use? It's a utopian thought that all skills have a use.

Where you the one I killed in RA last night useing [skill]primal Rage[/skill]

I pm erveryone before the match that i was using a crappy skill. And killed a poor sin who was trying to type a LOL message. 100 plus hits

Warrior
Axe Mastery
[skill]Penetrating Blow[/skill] & [skill]Penetrating Chop[/skill] (Both really the same skill, and there are better damage attacks out there.)
[skill]Whirling Axe[/skill] (Never seen anyone use…)
Hammer Mastery
[skill]Enraged Smash[/skill] (Never seen anyone use… Kind of sucks...)
[skill]Overbearing Smash[/skill] (Never seen anyone use… I think it cost too much adrenaline)
[skill]Staggering Blow[/skill] (Another Hammer attack that gives weakness… also it cost six adrenaline….)
Strength
"I Meant to Do That!" (Never seen anyone use it)
[skill]"You Will Die!"[/skill] (Never seen anyone use it)
[skill]Battle Rage[/skill] (I think it just sucks)
[skill]Charging Strike[/skill] (Never seen anyone use)
[skill]Flail[/skill] (Never seen anyone use)
[skill]Headbutt[/skill] (What kind of shitty elite is this! I wouldn’t use it even if it wasn’t an elite!)
[skill]Rage of the Ntouka[/skill] (Never seen anyone use)
Swordsmanship
[skill]Quivering Blade[/skill] (Never seen anyone use it)
Tactics
[skill]"Retreat!"[/skill] (Never seen anyone use it…)
[skill]Auspicious Parry[/skill] (Never seen anyone use it…)
[skill]Deflect Arrows[/skill] (Never seen anyone use it…)
[skill]Disciplined Stance[/skill] (Never seen anyone use it…)
[skill]"On Your Knees!"[/skill] (Never seen anyone use it…)
[skill]"You're All Alone!"[/skill] (Never seen anyone use it…)
[skill]Frenzied Defense[/skill] (Everyone seem to just use Frenzy)
[skill]Skull Crack[/skill] (Never used, I think it cost too much adrenaline)
Allegiance Rank
"Save Yourselves!" (Cost too much adrenaline and doesn't last very long)

This is all just for the warrior I didn’t feel like making a list for the other classes…

I use Gift Of Health on my ZB prot hybrid build, works well so far... and Peace and Harmony has one and only one purpose to me: Foundry 3-man HM farming (famine/QZ/EOE ranger, 600 monk and... Peace and Harmony smiter).

Trying to think of more useless skills. I'm gonna get a list and edit my post in a few.

- Supportive Spirit.
- Pacifism
- Dark Fury

... too lazy to keep searching =_=;;
