obviously lightbringer skills are commonly used ....
and so is Ursan

but what about the others

do you ever summon the Sin to help you?
Move like a dwarf?


Which of these skills can you use anywhere? Which are worth a spot on your bar all the time?


Just curious

Cry of Pain is always on my Mesmer's bar. It's too good to not bring along IMO. Every so often he'll take Ether Nightmare as well; it's an insane cover hex

My Assassin makes a lot of use of Critical Agility, and my Paragon usually carries "TNTF!" as well.

I Always use Save Yourselves. Sunspear Rebirth Sig if i go /P.

I usually take 3 PvE skills, SY! SSRS, and another depending on the situation, IMO for Vanquishing, Pain Inverter is a must on at least one person.

I think I brought the lightbringer skill with me once. My guildy and I went to do Razzy - and we aggroed pretty much the whole map and then my guildy decided we failed because "I" didn't bring Gaze. (He's otherwise a very nice player.)
So he orders me to bring it - I bring it - never use it - we aggro and pull in a matter that a non-brain-dead monkey would and we won!

My mesmer used Necrosis a few times. I liked that skill - compared to CoP. Got bored of it because it forced me to run necro. And although running necro is good - it just reminded me how much better playing a primary necro would be. So I rarely use it.
My para uses TntF+SY+Spear of Fury.
My monky has Seed. I used it when I was insanely good. Now I don't care for it.
My ritu uses Vampirism (If I am running spirit spam).
My necro might have Necrosis. Or maybe the old guy had it. I don't use it these days.

And I think that's kinda it. The GWEN skills don't do anything for me (although I need to get Brawling for my warrior) + I only brought my ritu though the chapter which means that that the other guys don't even have them NOR did I farmed the titles so that they would be efficient.


Pretty much my para like god-mode - other guys don't care about them. Other skills just aren't fun enough to bring - nor can I be bothered to obtain them.

Depends on what char I play and what I'm doing.

For example:
On my ele and necro, I use none as I can do just fine with regular skills.
On my war I do bring Ursan and some of the other norn/dwarven skills sometimes depending on team build.

I usually carry three. My current favs are Great Dwarf Weapon and I Am Unstoppable on my Ritualist. Due to spawning power I get a little extra time on the weapon spell, and the shout keeps me from getting knocked down while binding spirits.

none.

Since my warrior is my main, I take [wiki]"Save Yourselves!"[/wiki] and [wiki]Brawling Headbutt[/wiki].
Sometimes I take [wiki]"Finish Him!"[/wiki], [wiki]"You Move Like A Dwarf!"[/wiki], or [wiki]Pain Inverter[/wiki] depending on what I'm doing; I guess [wiki]Whirlwind Attack[/wiki], [wiki]Druken Master[/wiki] and [wiki]Aura of Holy Might[/wiki] are also decent. I should really take advantage of using one more pve skill, but I don't really have the room.

Save Yourselves! is pretty much on any skill bar I use (my mains are warrior and paragon).

For my Warrior I'll bring Drunken Master and Feel No Pain if I'm working on Drunkard. Otherwise I'll bring Club of a 1000 Bears (this one actually works on Kanaxai too ).

For my Para I have There's Nothing to Fear! and I'll usually rotate out my third choice. I've used Ebon Standard of Honor-but not to much of a big fan as I often forget to use it close enough for the tanks to get in on it lol. Air of Superiority is pretty sweet, and so is Pain Inverter. I've also used Spear of Fury from time to time.

95% of the time, none, cause I PvP 95% of the time.

HOWEVER,

When I do PvE I mostly use stuff rom the Dwarf line as I use a Ranger in PvE.

Rank 8 Dorf + Dwarven Stability + 15 in Expertise = Whrling Defense and Lightning Reflexes up 100% of the time.

I like Great Dwarf Armor as well

When not Soloing, Drunkin Master is nice.

It depends on the character. Obviously physicals generally have SY and something to power it out. I've been using a mind blast ele bar lately with great dwarf weapon, ebon battle standard of honor and "finish him!" too, that's pretty sweet.

Depends on what character.
On my Ranger, I rarely use PvE-only skills.
On my Warrior I always go D-Slasher, so SY.
On my Paragon, I always go imbagon, so Spear of Fury, SY and TNTF.
On my Mesmer, CoP.

Apart from that, I don't use them.

As a derv, I typically use two (aura of holy might and eternal aura) and obviously lightbringer's gaze when needed. It typically depends on my characters, since my ele doesn't use any.

Seed Of Life FTW!!!
same for Pain Inverter.
And Light of Deldrimor is just good for dungeons.

on a more class-specific basis (yes i know SoL is class-specific but I believe that most, if not all, healers should carry it), I use:
Aura of Holy Might
Critical Agility
Elemental Lord (or whatever the factions pve ele skill is)
Whirlwind Attack
Mindbender
"You Move Like A Dwarf"
Necrosis

The rest of the pve skills might be good, but I just don't like them.

SY! and TNtF! on my para but only Sunspear Rebirth Signet on my ranger. Might consider putting "Finish Him!" in there. (I used BHA Epidemic - adding DW in there might be quite nice.)

i run 3 PvE skills near constantly. on a necro, Necrosis+You Move Like a Dwarf!+Finish Him! is amazing for taking down high priority targets. i've brought Technobabble, Save Yourselves!, Pain Inverter, Ebon Vanguard Sin, There's Nothing to Fear!, and the Ebon Vanguard Wards more than once.

i see no reason not to bring them, as they're obscenely powerful.
