I just used a 10hour/14day trial of factions. I'm planning on unlocking as many useful skills for my heroes as I can since heroes will be able to use those skills once they're locked again. I don't want to waste my plat and faction points unlocking skills that seem useful at first glance but end up being useless for my heroes.
So far I've been looking at the top rated hero builds on pvx for some ideas and read through some threads here. So far I've listed 81 skills and 14 elites.
Need suggestions on more skills, especially if it's needed for variations on popular Hero builds like Sabway. Also need help identifying which skills I shouldn't unlock from the following list.
The list so far:
Ritualist:
Ancestors' Rage
Bloodsong
Blind was Mingson
Life
Mend Body and Soul
Protective was Kaolai
Resilient Weapon
Resilient Was Xiko
Smoothing memories
Spirit Burn

Splinter Weapon
Weapon of Warding ***
Maybe:
Attuned Was Songkai

Destruction

For Elementalist unlock [[Unsteady Ground]
For Ranger unlock [[Poisonous Bite], [[Bestial Fury], [[Heal as One]
For Monk unlock [[Signet of Rejuvenation] and [[Ray of Judgment]
For Warrior unlock [[Triple Chop]
Assassins aren't that great tbh. but I guess if you want to create "ok" builds for them get:
[[Moebius Strike]
[[Locust's Fury]
[[Critical Strike]
[[Wild Strike]
[[Critical Eye]
[[Beguiling Haze]
[[Shadow Refuge]
[[Jagged Strike]
[[Return]
[[Falling Spider]
[[Horns of the Ox]
[[Siphon Strength]
...off the top of my head.

Thanks everyone for the help.
I don't plan on using my assassin hero so I'm going to unlock assassin skills that might be good for my other heroes as secondary profession.
So far I've been doing Zaishen Elite for bal points to unlock Elites. Once the elites that I want are unlocked I'll work on the regular skills, on the last day of the trial key I'm just going to buy the rest of the skills.
If anyone has anymore skills to suggest, please do. And any skills on my list that I shouldn't unlock, I just read somewhere that hero's screw up Bed of Coals real bad.
