Basically the opposite of my other thread. XD So yeah, same rules, but for the worst elite of each profession.

Of the professions I have played, I think the worst are:

Elementalist: Mirror of Ice (uh, useless, much?)
Paragon: Um, Anthem of Guidance? Too little to pick from. XD
Ranger: Poison Tip Signet (ew!)

Ranger: Poison Tip Signet (ew!) - Ive used in GvG
- Seen in Ha - not used myself but my paras in mothballs atm
- I use this together with a prep (and it isnt an elite)

Warrior: Primal Rage
Elementalist: Stone Sheath
Monk: Amity
Necromancer: Weaken Knees is a good candidate.
Mesmer: Would have gone with Tease before the last update; Recurring Insecurity, perhaps.
Ranger: Lacerate or Archer's Signet
Assassin: Wastrel's Collapse
Ritualist: Clamor of Souls is pretty bad.
Dervish: Avatar of Grenth
Paragon: "Incoming!"

On a related note, we have a couple of these threads:

http://ww.guildwarsguru.com/forum/sh...php?t=10008331

That one is the most recent.

This one is in Riverside, but it's been over 2 years since the last post.

Granted, those are both worst elite in the game out of all professions, not each.

The worst for Ele in PvE I gotta agree with OP. Mirror of Ice is useless there...

Assassin: some crap skill I never even heard of. Like that one....wastrel's something.
Mesmer:Tease. it fails, despite the sexaaay icon

Ive made mirror of Ice work in both PVE and PVP.

I had a rocking A/R build using poison tip signet to fuel a deadly sin combo but cant remember it much.

But my worst elites are:

Elly - Elemental Attunement (I prefer damage)

Monk - WoH (I can think of a far better elite to use in any place in the game)

Ranger - BHA (be a real pro and hit with concussion shot instead, BHA is broken and imba)

Mesmer - Mantra of Recovery (so boring, I like to utilize elites which actually do something)

Necro - Flesh Golem (Usually A nooby necros first elite pick with every other minion skill on their bar as well)
Warrior - Everything sux VS blind spam.

Assassin - Mobius Strike (Because other elites are a lot better)

Ritualist - Wanderlust (D Shotted, lulz)

Paragon - Stunning Strike (Cos spear swipe lets you use something else durrr!)

Dervish - Everysingle Avatar elite cos they look stupid.

I can't tell if Bhavv is being serious or not. Three of those points are actually quite legit.

The necromancer has some fairly useless elites. Weaken Knees is incredably pointless. Ravenous Gaze is silly though and promotes idiot play. And Cultist's Fervor will only result in death.

Ranger: Quick Shot. I just don't get it.

Rit: Clamour of souls also promotes suicide play. Then, so does Destructive was Glaive.
