Well, to me there isn't just one skill I love the most, I have favourites in different categories. Like reg, PvE, and elite.

Reg: Liquid Flame.
Elite: Obsidian Flesh.
PvE: "By Ural's Hammer!"

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

Requirement Begins With R [notQ]

Me/

PvP: Power Block or Corrupt Enchantment

PvE: Pain Inverter or Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support.

Too hard to pick a definitive favourite.

I really like the name and icon of the skill but have never seen anyone use it, not even in RA.

And I'm also fairly sure it has never been changed.

it's hard not to love Spiteful Spirit and Empathy combined and watching a melee just beat themselves to death with it on them and dying faster than any other way in the game. But, really vs smart players they are both pretty useless skills and really only great in PVE because the AI is always dumb of course.

Umm, no. If the player won't attack we win, and if he attacks and dies we win. its a win/win situation. only if he has hex removal he can continue attacking... but then again, he's a war/ranger/paragon/sin/dervish, how many of them really have hex removal?

To be honest, he can quite happily attack through SS and Empathy. He just needs to be careful and the monk can get on with removing the hex.

Yeah.. id have to say Shadow Form is one of my favourites, just since it's the money making skill :3 (troll me nao pl0x)

Protective Spirit for both PvE and PvP, a Monk isn't a Monk without it.

Blackout & Soul Bind for PvP.. Monks cry moar that way.

Also love Assassins Promise & Discord...

PvE only skills: Finish Him, You Move Like A Dwarf, Ebon Assassin, Pain Inverter.

Now, because of the thread title i have to pick one skill... But im gonna pick a PvE skill and a PvP skill.

PvE: Shadow Form
PvP: Blackout <--- (i have a feeling that's gonna get nerfed any time soon )

For my ranger, I'd definitely have to choose Dshot. One well timed Dshot can completely screw up a casting chain.

For my ele, I'd say Glowing Gaze because with it, I have an infinite amount of energy.

For my necro, it'd be Aura of the Lich because it's just so damned cool.

PvE: I'd have to go with Great Dwarf Weapon. Yes, Splinter doles out more damage, but on the off chance that GDW + Barrage works perfectly, it's a lot of fun.

PvP: Power Block and/or Life Sheath...PB is insanely powerful against cookie cutters and Life Sheath is just a good, balanced skill all around.

This is very true as I've had both SS and Emph on me as a warrior and I just take conditional shots at whomever. Plus if you put in a heavy regen like Dervs have you can still fight pretty well through those two skills. I did say you had to be a SMART player though and most melee in RA pvp aren't smart. Never seen so many dumazzes in my life as I have in RA. Monks who just stand there thinking they can take on the whole mob solo. Instead of running around like GOOD monks do and stop and taking a heal shot from time to time.

So, no SS and Empathy are not win/win situations all the time if the player plays well.

For a curses Necro it has to be Insidious Parasite in PvP or PvE. Cant beat a 1 sec cast on a melee foe and ignoring him while you concentrate on something else while he heals you.

As an added bonus you can cast on an Axe warrior with Tripplechop/Cyclone Axe or a ranger with Barrage for a good laugh.

Nothing like having Hex Removal on a melee and then pounding and waylaying your hiney to death afterwards either. I've sent more Necros to their grave than I can count using W/Mo character.
