Best Elite Introduced In Factions?

Unless you're playing as a monk.

I'll say Auspicious Parry. Even post-nerf, I <3 it. Triple Chop for axes too..Executioners + Cyclone axe = gg.

It was Soul Twisting. Now, I don't know. Expel Hexes is good but you can't always fit it, Ritual Lord is pretty good, Aura of Displacement makes a profession playable. Shadow Shroud is dangerous, while warriors and monks got several nice elite toys.

For sheer impact I'd have to say Ritual Lord now that Soul Twisting is weaker - it's the only elite that's really key to a standard archtype.

^agreed

Arcane Langour

Arcane Langour isn't much worse than diversion IMO.

Things that seem powerful:
Ritualist Lord
Aura of Displacement
Air of Enchantment
Broadhead Arrow

Things that seem fun with questionable power:
Enraged Smash (Don't knock it until you try it.)

Blessed Light and Expel Hexes... I like them

Think I'd liek Aura of Displacement quite a lot too, but not really used it much

i hafta agree with the poster above me

Wail. Of. Doom. FTW.

Rit Lord
BroadHead (Still nothing on a CoP Monk, but nice anyways)
Expel Hex's
Rit Lord
Air Of Enchantment
Order of Aposticary
Aura of Displacement
And finally Rit Lord

Ritual Lord because it works on ranger spirits too

Healing light ftw!

Well Aura of Displacement is by far the best elite for assassin (others are decent, but none can keep you alive so well).

Dragon Slash and Auspicious Parry are nice for warrior.

Air of Enchantment is very good also.

Gah I cant decide on the best.

I dont know all the new wlites but the ones I am loving are Auspicious PArry and Ritual Lord. Pre Nerf on Auspicious I would go to aspenwood and destroy all luxon wars and asins, was kinda sad and Rit lord just speaks for itself. Post nerf auspicious it still works fine but I have not been playing on my war much since the update.

Aura of Displacement and Auspicious Parry both seem to be very strong skills.

I like "life sheath", nice fire and forget sort of spell my protection monk has been begging for.

"Icy veins" is sweet when chained with putrid explosion.

"Heal as one" makes my solo beastmaster very happy

"Ritual lord" is a spirit based ritualist must-have (something they are supposed to be good at). Not a good elite, more of a communing quick-fix.

Order of apostasy, hands down. I was ready to ragequit this game after the recent skill update which did not change OoA at all. I won't even HA after i get rank 9 until it gets nerfed. IWAY wins too easily without skill or thinking because of this skill. Arenanet, why do you nerf a so-so build, then come back 2 months later and make it the best build in the game?

starburst followed by phoenox inferno flameburst then fireball when they run away

....qft

Definately Temple Strike or Broad headed arrow.

Temple strike shuts down pretty much any class you play, I mean come on Daze and Blind. The duration may be short but assassins dont need long to kill a single target really especially when they can't cast to well or hit.

Broad headed arrow is another great unconditional daze skill. Almost able to keep daze every 20 seconds, the downside is its pretty easy to dodge. The high energy cost like all other high energy skills with rangers can be halved easily with expertise.
RTW+BHA = Delixxxious

Auspicious parry FTW!!

Too bad they nerfed it....
