You would have to divide it into PvE and PvP, then into farming and normal play, HA, GvG, RA, AB, TA, and HB. Even then it's really not enough because in PvE a skill like Restore Conditions, while awesome, may be terrible in any given PvE situation because there may not be any conditions. There are far too many variables to consider when dubbing the best of something.

(well to a degree...i'd break it down by attribute line rather than class)

but theres a reason y most monk bars contain woh
(aside from being teh default unlocked pvp monk elite...and being teh easiest to cap pve monk elite)

while there may not always be a "god tier" in each attribute line
there is high tier, mid tier, and low tier

i wish this wasnt so...
but of course perfect balance is very difficult to achieve

Man, quit picking on Storm, your favorite elites can be anything that you enjoy playing.

Amnity / pacifism is epic lulz in RA. His other choices can also be fun on the correct skill bars.
