I mean, that you currently have on one of your characters, which is your favorite skill?
Personally, I like Shield of Judgement. With my smiting prayers at 12, it makes for a killer buff to put onto any warrior. It does around 40 damage and the knocks down anyone who hits the enchanted. It lasts 18 seconds at level 12 but with some + enchant duration staff heads/staff, I beleive this spell could easily be the best in the game.
How 'bout you guys?
What is YOUR best skill/spell?

Um... armour piercing arrows, I guess...
Yeah, I know, it's not much. But it makes a cool noise!

My personal favorite is Well of Blood for my Ne/Mo. Regen of 5 for all in the area for 18 seconds. Works very well since I play to my secondary and am usually the party healer.
I don't have Well of Power yet (as above but adds +2 energy regen to all as well) but my guild is doing an elite signet capture event this week-end and I might just get lucky.

I would have to say immolate. Fast damage, catch fire, short reacharge, the most versatile skill IMHO

Word of Healing - makes a nice avatar, being a good spell also helps.
Life Bond - do i really need to tell you why

Ether Renewal...
not great on it's own but I use a lot of enchantments so this spell just becomes uber.

I have a healing speall that can heal party members for +143. Can't use it on myself, which I often forget and wind up dead because of it, but nonetheless, it's my favorite spell.
Crom the Conqueror
Well there isnt what I would call a 'best' skill in Guild Wars. But I love final thrust, ALOT, evits a must for every sword warrior; second to that is Necro's spell, Barbs; last but not least, Healing Hand a warrior's best friend in a tight situation.
Rahne Sinclaire
Well, it's not my MOST practical skill, but today I just got "Charge!" from a boss in Perdition Rock by sheer luck, and I'm quite proud of myself... mostly because it's my first Elite skill.
Anyone who doesn't know, "Charge!" gives everyone around you a speed boost of 25% for about 10 seconds, which is pretty cool if you're just trying to run to a zone, or do Infusion runs.

I love arcane echo, plus it makes a duplicate of your favourite skill. :P

Mine I can't remember the exact name of it, but it adds +13 damage to any fire based weapon I'm weilding. Put this onto a max damage Fiery Dragon Sword with 12 in swordsmanship and it totally outclasses the flare spell. It does less damage then the spell per hit, but it hits a lot faster and is a lot cheaper energy wise.
Flare: -5 energy, 20-30dmg or something
This enchantment: -10 energy, lasts for 60 seconds +13 damage
The Aura of restoration is really nice for an Elemental. Considering they cant heal, all you need is a few quick casting+recharge spells that take alot of energy and you heal yourself quickly. Put that together with earth/air/fire/water attunement and each spell replenishes hp as well as energy to keep you in the fight longer.
Those two last spells are probably absolutely essential for an Ele to stay alive in PvP unless he's got a monk dedicated to him.

"For 6 seconds, the next time target foe uses a skill, that skill takes an additional 10-47 seconds to recharge."

Mark of Pain's the best skill I've used so far. That with flurry makes large groups drop very quickly. For PvP, sprint's the best skill I've used in the level 15 arena.
Becca Bellows
Mantra of Recall (Elite Mesmer Skill). Nothing beats a good "alpha strike" (front-loaded, fast damage/incapacitation), and having all spells re-cycle twice as fast for ~20 seconds means I can unload my full Energy bar on 2-3 mobs/players, usually killing one and taking another out of the fight with Empathy, Backfire, Chaos Storm, etc.
I do love "Signet of Midnight" for PvP, however. Nothing like a long-lasting, 90% "Blind" to make those W/M pick a different target real fast (or wonder why their sword is whiffing like mad).
- Becca Bellows, Ascended Mesmer/Monk (finished every mission/quest in the game with only henchmen)
- Bella Bellows, Necromancer
- Bria Bellows, Ranger
- Brianna Bellows, Monk (current fave)

Right now, probably Power Spike. If I had it, Power Block.

I'm glad to have finally found Heal Other. Now with Heal Other I feel like I'm a much more useful healer. I'm sure there are better skills out there, but right now I love my Heal Other. (Healing Breeze is great to. +7 health regen is nice.)

Being able to teleport from corpse to corpse is not only neato in itself, it's fun as hell. Go check out "Tower Fun!" in the screenshots section for how I used it to get on top of the giant towers in the riverside province mission. Teleport has no boundaries!

I have to say mine right now is probably Signet of Devotion. Soooooooo many times have I been about to die, without any energy, just to pull this baby out and use it is always a blessing of about 75 hit points 
Borealis
Mine probably have to go in a tandem.
Meteor shower, rodgorts invocation, flame burst, flre storm and aura of restoration. Very powerful combo for a elem.

Asplode
Energy Drain, Hex Breaker, or Healing Seed. Can't decide.
Tainted
I'd have to say Lightning Surge. It waits 3 seconds then does about 90 damage and knocks the target down. And the cooldown/cast time isnt all that long, andddddd the mana cost is only 10 =P.
Katana
Judges Insight & Smite Hex
Willy Rockwell
Chaos Storm. Upgraded, it inflicts -10 per second on everything near it, sometimes on more than 10 enemy at once. That is serious damage.
Fantras
Plus you don't wanna cast in it.
Axle_Fieshe
i love using firestorm
i farm so well with that
Animate Bone Horror is cool tho
i use Flare the most however, cause it only costs 5 energy, and recharges almost instantly

Favorite - Conjure Phantasm I just love watching the mobs health bar lower.
Most useful - Aura of Restoration Health every time I cast a spell, what's not to like.

I love Symbol of Wrath. I have my smiting attribute all the way up so i think it does somewhere between 30-50DMG/s for 5 seconds in the area of effect.
DavenXion
Have to go with Distracting Blow. Its so nice in PvP to see someone trying to rez or fire of some massive Elemental dmg and WIFF just like that, its gone.
Demetrious
Rez Sig Nothins better when your dead.

Distracting Shot - shutting down that annoyng spell/skill is priceless.

I love vigorous Spirit. I don't think many use it but it's allowed me and my friend to duo plenty of higher level mobs and come out standing.
It's only 5 power and quick casting as well, lasts for longer than most spells and let's me deal with the crowd a bit without the worry of throwing a real heal for a bit.
The only real problem with it is that it's only great on melee. Warriors, Rangers and an occasional ??/war.
I tried to figure it out in combat with my friend but it's tough to factor everything in. Sure as anything though it's a 100+ heal in close combat for 5 power and no maintenance. I usually cast the early Balthazar's for adrenaline regen so they can attack at a higher rate giving them a better heal for themselves.

At the moment, I'm loving the combination of Whirling Defence and Throw Dirt on those pesky warriors 
Grim_Grom
I lvoe Putrid Explosion, deal 69 damage to all creatures around corpse nearest to target, Incredibly useful for fuinishing off a mob at low mana costs.
Jab
mantra of recall for me too, gotta love going from 12 energy to around 38 energy once the time expires. Also I'm liking Life transfer I think that's the name.
Exion
Illusionary Weaponry by far.
Lasher Dragon
Lately I get my kicks out of Choking Gas.
Kha
Defy Pain. With it I can now hit over 1k health.
Delbiter
my best is battle rage so i can use my final thrust alot

As a Mo/Me in PvE with large groups of mobs I'm having fun with channeling, it lets my spam heal Party.

I love Conjure Flame with my fire wand mixed up with a firestorm for AoE.
For my ranger i love ignite arrows and dual shot, mmmm gotta love the quadruple damage on that one.
A mesmer with phantasm and phantom pain is a nice combo as well as far as illusionary magic goes.
Sever Artery and Gash has always been a basic favorite of my Warrior.
