Favourite skill would have to be [skill]Pacifism[/skill]. It's hilarious to watch people bitch when you cast it on them. Things with somewhat silly power such as AoL + Radiant Scythe, or Barrage + Splinter Weapon (better in the old days though), or FGJ + Dslash are fun from time to time, but not quite so much.

Least favourite. Kind of hard to pick one here. [skill]"Charge!"[/skill] is up there, because several henchmen have it for no good reason. [skill]Iron Mist[/skill] is a good candidate because it's actually counter-productive in most cases. [skill]Obsidian Flesh[/skill], because some tards take it in PvP to improve their survivability at the expense of their team. Finally, [skill]Avatar of Balthazar[/skill], because seemingly millions of people think it's awesome when it isn't.

I have lots of favourite skills but some of my choice picks would be [eruption] [unsteady ground] [spiteful spirit] [enfeebling blood] [weaken armor] and [splinter weapon].

EDIT: After some of the recents buffs that is. EB now costs 1 energy with a 1 sec cast and WA affects adjacent foes aswell. Skill descriptions are a bit off

[pain inverter] Pain Inverter! I swear I laugh every time a powerful elementalist boss does "the lemming" (Oh! No! *puff*) in 3 sec!

(we are often 3 players, all with rank 8-10 Asuran, using this skill simultaneously on such bosses, before people accuse me of overselling it)

Good for aggravating all the stupid SF sins in AB.
Psst... those skills will fail on Shadow Form. So... unless you've seen a bunch of Searing Flames Assassins... I think you lose.

For farming: [Shadow Form]
For PvP: [Aura of Displacement] and [Beguiling Haze]
For PvE: [Critical Agility] and [Moebius Strike] (clearly)

hmmm think my #1 favorite skill right now has to be [Air of Superiority] while playing anything on my necromancer, evil genius battle quotes ftw!

close behind are [Critical Agility] and [Necrosis], those sunspears sure do know how to make a good skill don't they?

but if you want non pve skills, I'd go with [Spirit's Strength], [Order of Undeath], or [Way of the Master]

When combined with Soul Reaping, you actually can have your cake and eat it.
