Hey everyone,

I've seen under-rated skills, useless elite skills but havn't yet seen a thread on this, at least not in the first few pages. Which actually surprised me.

So yeah, i made this thread, wondering what everyone actually thought about the over powered skills (elite & non elite, pve versions and pvp versions.) Tell us what you think!

If there is another thread and we do not wish to have another one, then mods feel free to delete/lock

Personally, i think Ebon Vanguard Sniper Support is slightly overpowered, but hey ive always thought that :P you lot may disagree.

Rangers arn't supposed to have 150+ damage skills. (They're pressure kits, not spike tools)

None. I don't think SY, Discord or SF are overpowered. I mean SF is only really useful in a single kinda build, SY only lasts a few secs, RoJ now have scatter and Discord is only good with condition stacking and in Discordway.

There's nothing particularly OP at the moment,things just have to be buffed accordingly to provide more options. Even rspike can be countered...

SY and Shadowform are all that come to mind. Discord isn't overpowered, soul reaping is. But skills and attributes come to mind.

Oh, and I'm sick of getting owned whenever my team tries to do a baserush in AB, so I think Base Defense needs a huge nerf. I can't even preprot this shit.

For Great Justice is overpowered in PvE, as it enables 20 seconds (30 with Enduring Harmony) worth of spam of Save Yourselves, Brawling Headbutt, Dragon Slash.

I hate NPCs that use Frenzy when I Perma SF/Sliver Armor. ANet have finally found the perfect counter for SF.

Assassins Promise. Recharges all your skills including itself and gives you a good amount of energy after every kill.

Meh, D-shot is the ranger version of some non-elite mesmer skills, like diversion and and signet of humility. Am I missing some reason it's overpowered? Are those mesmer versions ovepowered too? At high expertise, it is much cheaper than those mesmer skills, so I can see an argument that it's too CHEAP for what it does, but you still need to time it right...

And isn't D-shot part of the pressure kit?

(Edit)...and back on topic.... Skills that have an entry on PvX Wiki ending in "way" are o.p.

And isn't D-shot part of the pressure kit?
Seriously. Umm, Discord, Shadow Form, and RoJ come to mind right away. Shadow Form is the one I've been more vocal about, but the rise in RoJ groups shows how monks have become the new Eles.

What if the skills aren't overpowered, but PvE is just underpowered?

Rip enchantment is one skill that should help you here. somehow, I just don't see experienced PvP warriors using mending.

Other ways to counter warriors, blind,empathy,Vor,Insidious parasite,Signet of Midnight and that is just a few skills. The list goes on for a while.
