I know 1 skill sounds hard, but there must be a that 1 skill that you just can't get enough of and pray is never nerfed.

Mine is Wastrel's Worry. It's so versatile, you can use it in so many ways. It's perfect in my opinion. If they ever touch it I will start unleashing hell. Don't make me do that Anet!

Now that you know mine, what's yours? It can be even be skills that maybe aren't the best, but you make work anyways. I know a lot of you will end up probably saying Shadow Form too, but try not to go there...

(<--- ps I know my pic is of Wastrel's Demise, I just use that since it looks better than WW)

Magehunter's Smash.

Yes, I know it can be considered "Power Creep" and Dev. Hammer can be better because it needs 1 less adrenaline, but being able to KD someone as a punishment for trying to block me with an enchant = win :3

And I like the skill icon XD

I'd have to say Earth Shaker.

To say the least, I'd always played as an axe or sword warrior until I decided to goof around and try a hammer build. I have a hard time convincing myself to run a triple chop build now.

It would end up being a fight between Blackout, Spirit Shackles, Arcane Languor and Ether Lord with Blackout most likely coming out on top.


I also have to express my undying love for the pre-changed Lingering Curse. That elite used to compete with Arcane Languor for my favourite elite in the game.
I don't care much for it after the change.

The current PvP meta features many caster bars that are tied to only one attribute (see MB Ele), and using one skill to render another player useless is win. Bring Shame and Diversion for healers... and you're set!

Mine I think would have to be Prepared Shot. Ever since I capped it about 2 years ago, it has probably left my bar no more then 3 times. Love it because I've never ran out of energy ^^
Next up close would be Toxic Chill =]

I still want a good reason for Ravenous Gaze to appear on my bar.

An actual skills that I like the functionality of? Hmm...
Soul Bind, Mark of Pain and Fevered Dreams. I honestly cannot seperate those.

Assassin Support is my favourite skill if I'm h/h farming with my monk. It's a good way of directing fire away from myself if I can't be bothered with flagging (ie: always).

I don't know that I have a favourite for the other classes. Most of them I've never got very far with before I delete and start over. Mend Body and Soul is fairly good for getting henchies out of bother. (I can never find PuGs anymore, and I make a bad team player on account of being parent to a toddler; consequentially I tend to play alone or with my brother who understands. It sucks being called away, 'specially if I'm playing my monk.)

Otherwise.... Gotta be flare spams for ele

PI. Nothing in game compares to the feeling I get when I watch a beastmaster blow itself up with one Giant Stomp on a minion ball when my hex lands just in time. It's everything good about the mesmer class rolled up into one beautiful skill.

Soul Bind
10/2/5
For 5...17 seconds, target foe attacks 30% slower than normal. If that foe becomes the target of a Hex while attacking, that foe is knocked down.
Combine with WW.

I never tried it.
There's actually quite a lot of skills I regret having not tried before they got changed, just because I dismissed them out of hand at not seeing a damage clause when I was new to the game.
