On another note, I love Psychic Distraction it hasn't left my mesmer's bar since I got it, PvE or PvP. You can interupt anything and everything that the opposition tries to do... and disable it for 12 extra seconds. The advantage over diversion is they don't get the skill off at all. They have to cast through diversion to make it work.

My vote for worst skill in the game goes to Mending. Mending doesn't even do what mending is supposed to do very well. Junk, plain and simple.

Golden phoenix strike is pretty good if you have live vacariouly or mending on a A/MO or other enchantment also gd if you dont bother with lead attack and want go go straight to a dual. i like poison arrow as well you can spam poison around and have the monks chase ppl around de-poisoning them while other ppl kill them

i find mighty blow kinda pointless cus you spend all day building up 7 adreniline for somthing you can do for 5 nrg with power attack

These are skills, that, for whatever reason, have probably never found their way into any player's skill bar, pretty much ever. Maybe their effect just doesn't make sense. Maybe the energy cost is just too high to justify the effect. Maybe the spell is just too situation to ever be used. Whatever the case, I'd love to hear what people think about these skills. Also, if you have ever found an effective use for any of the skills that people claim to be the game's bottom of the barrel, I'd love to hear it.

Here's my 6:

Warrior: Deflect arrows. In principle this skill looks like it could be nice, except for the part that says "this skill ends if you attack"

Ranger: Otyugh's cry. There aren't enough random animals in any area that I can think of to make this spell worth using. If it worked on pets, I can see a lot of good things coming from this.

Elementalist: Rust. There are a few builds that *technically* would be gimped beyond any recovery if this skill was used. But nobody would ever bother bringing this skill on the off-chance that they will run into one of those builds.

Necromancer: Dary fury. If I'm reading the description correctly, this spell gives *one character* one strike of adrenaline. For 10 energy. Makes sense to me.

Monk: Vital Blessing. I don't know of any builds that benefit from -1 energy regeneration for a bit of extra health.

Mesmer: Signet of Humility. Disabling an elite skill is a nice idea, but let's be honest here, you're a mesmer. If you want to disable the enemy's elite skill, use diversion or something. Frankly, I don't think there are any elite skills in the game that are dangerous enough to warrant bringing something like this along. Maybe before ER was nerfed there might have been some advantage to this.

Rico I agree with Deflect arrows and Otyugh's cry and Rust a little (It has some uses), but the others are pretty good.

Dary fury is pretty good if you're running 2 or 3 warriors, they'll get adrenaline so fast if you keep using this, the opposing team will be in for alot of pain.

Vital Blessing, this one is pretty good on a Bonder, if someone is about to die slap a Vital Blessing on him and he'll be saved, also when you have alot of points in protection it'll give a player around +200 health, and let's not forget you can use this on you're Ghostly Hero too.

Signet of Humility, this one is actually really good, if you're running a condition heavy build in Heroes Ascent, it's wise to bring this, because most teams have an elite condition removal, and if you shut that down they'll have none, and they'll suffer so much from it. Also, some elites you just want to make sure they don't come up, not even once, so I wouldn't think about using Diversion, because it'll still activate the skill. Use this in combination with Mantra of Inscriptions at 11 Inspiration or more and you'll have a constant loop, and you're target will never be able to use it's elite, unless you get interrupted of course

Quote: And I'm not a huge fan of Ice Prison either, the fact that fire damage negates it is annoying Prison is for use in places where you can count on it not being broken, I use it constantly in ABs because it's a fairly fast cast, it's cheap, and it's extremely annoying. Most of the time, it lasts the full duration.

Quote: For the 100th time in this topic Otyugh's cry adds 20 AL to all the pets around. And that's a shout, not a spell.

Pretty good Aspenwood when you lose all your minions or your enemy does.

Blackout used to be the greatest skill for IW mesmers (excluding IW of course). Its been nerfed for a reason.

I agree with you on firestorm.

Cover up cripple.

Great for skipping that first lead attack scine most assassins carry AoD anyway.

I would think that the outsanding worst mesmer skill is mantra of earth... what's the point?

Worst monk skill, probably vengeance. I can see how it would be useful in PvP but it still drives me mad to get ressed, get into a fight, and then promptly drop dead seconds later. I usually have near 50% of my skillset that is for defence or regen (energy or health) as well as a res sig and all that is wasted if you're gonna die every 30 secs (or however long it lasts) no matter how well you defend yourself.

Worst ranger skill... probably MR because though it is amazing if people actually DO use loads of hexes and/or conditions on you, more often than not, you're not going to find yourself in that situation (unless you are a monk). If you are a monk and could merge that would martyr it would be great but you can't cuz they are both elites.

Worst necro skill, plague sending. plague touch and plague signet are better in every way, I can't possibly see a use for plague sending.

Worst warrior skill, dunno.

Worst ele skill, flare. Yes it's spammable but there are better things you could do with your skill bar.

As for the factions proffessions, I don't have factions so once again, IDK.

So many of the skills in Guild Wars are sub-optimal, but then there are those that are downright horrible:

Warrior - Crude Swing, Belly Smash, and Power Attack
Ranger - Revive Animal, Power Shot, and the Pin Down/Poison Arrow combo
Monk - Spell Shield, Healing Burst, and Shield Guardian
Necromancer - Life Transfer, Demonic Flesh, and Chilblains
Mesmer - Chaos Storm, Mantra of Earth, and Arcane Echo
Elementalist - Mind Burn, Flare, and Smoldering Embers
Assassin - Seeping Wound, Dark Apostasy, and Shameful Fear
Ritualist - Armor of Unfeeling, Vengeful Was Khanhei, and Splinter Weapon

Signet of devotion, without maintaining enchantments

Lacerating chop:
If Lacerating Chop hits, you deal +5...17 damage. If it strikes a knocked down foe your target suffers from Bleeding for 5...17 seconds.

How many knockdowns have axe's? right none, so this is in fact a +5...17 damage move.....

Archer's Signet? I get the idea, if it were't in expertise it might be good, but investing in a line that makes your skills cheaper to get access to a skill that makes skills cheaper seems a bit pointless.

3 second activation (ouch)
45 second recharge (ouch!)
Elite (ouch!!)
disables non-attack skills from 15..9 seconds (ouch!!!)
Allows you a set number of attack skills for no energy, in the next 30 seconds. There is 1 non-elite attack skill that costs 25 energy (concussion shot, yay!) and 1 non-elite 15 energy skill (Pin Down) - the rest are 10 and below.

I suppose that if you wanted to trade your elite skill in for the chance to do a concussion shot twice you could take 2 expertise and use concussion shot twice every 45 seconds for free, saving a ton of energy... umm... yeah, that's an elite I want.

EoE is still a very viable option for PvP. Obviously not as much as pre-nerf, but it still can be used.

I mean, come on... it's a one-hit wonder. If you even manage to use everyone's signets to chain-res the team, or you can res the monk, whatever totally and utterly pawnd you WILL no doubt try again... I hate Resurrection Signet so much. It's not to say that I am against resurrecting a team... I started a second character last week as a Mesmer/Ritualist...I almost always carry Flesh of my Flesh. It's a useful skill, cause it's faster that 'Resurrection Chant' and can be used over and over...

*Waits for people to say that Resurrection Signet can recharge with a morale boost*

Yes....it can....if you if you can even find a boss to kill... I personally don't like our chances if we've already been pawnd once, if we do find a boss, he will no doubt be surrounded by kronies and will most likely own us with all our death penalties. So no...it's not a good reason to take it.

I guess some people like a safeguard - something to fall back on... it just seems like SUCH a waste of a slot on the skill bar. It means you only have 7 skills left to put on. If you choose to put on an enchantment skill, then you're down to 6 offensive skill slots.

I'd just like to point out, this thread is "Worst Skill in the Game" - NOT "Most Useless". IMO, this is my choice of the worst skill...from an elementalist point of view anyway.

Right - as you were!

*Steps back to allow stoning to commence*

You must not RA much, in there, you are libel to be either interrupted, or killed in the time it takes to use a different res. 3 seconds on a res spell, plus it brings them back with 100% health, if you used Ressurect or Rebirth, you would be A: Dead at that time or B: The friend you ressed would be dead due to you only ressing him with 25% health and 0 energy.

The only thing that can beat a Res Signet in RA is Restore Life with Glyph of Sacrifice and high healing prayers. It's nowhere near the worst skill, in 4v4 PvP it is very helpful. RA and TA it is a very good res, especially in organized TA.

I dont see why you would include Psychich Distraction when Diversion is a 6 second hex, and a much longer recharge duration on the skill used....am I missing something here? The only thing I can see useful is the recharge time, where Distraction is 2 seconds, Diversion is 10 seconds, but I would much rather have and use Diversion between these two. You can spam Psychic Distraction every 2 seconds (all OTHER skills are disabled), so you can constantly (well, almost constantly) keep interrupting skills. Not just spells, skills. That's pretty damn powerful IMO.

I say Revive Animal is the most useless. Even if you have like 6 pets in your group (yeah, right) there's very little chance that one of them is going to die nearby the other. Comfort animal is much better, as you can heal and rez your animal (and rez them every 2 seconds, mind you)

Rust has most of its use in role playing. Especially on warrior NPCs, which constantly bring healing signet. 6 seconds of -40 = dead. Try using it on the warrior packs in Aspenwood, since it'll hit ALL of them, then they start dropping like flies.

Nope. It's a nice skill for touchers, necromancers, and any other -/N or N/- class that has good death magic. i use it for my PvP minion master at times.

LOL. Ok, here is my list... These are a bit more legit.

Mesmer: Keystone Signet... uh durrr... Or Fevered Dreams... durr.... epidemic....that has a yellow square around it....

Warrior: Savage Slash (uhh..10 energy???) Flourish is a pretty horrible elite also.

Ranger: Called Shot (pointless....)

Elementalist: Second Wind (STUPIDEST SPELL EVER!!!!!!!!)

Assassin: Dark Prison (60 sec recharge, 10 energy for 6 sec duration, say wha?)

Ritualist: Guilded Weapon (whoopty doo... 10 sec max....45 recharge...10 energy... retarded)

Necromancer: Blood Bond (now this one was a toughy... oh wait....no it wasnt.... wtf, a necro that wants to be a monk and kill themselves at the same time! YIPPY! Be in my group, wait..>DONT.

Monk: Wow...where to begin... It was really between Purge Signet (provided your a monk using this) and Bane Signet... oh!, you cool! Then again, Healing Burst is about a worthless elite.....Heal area with perks? Whoopty doo...

Purge Signet is very powerful - learn to focus swap. Clear all conditions and hexes for no penalty? I'll have it.

Second Wind? Well it's on par with Ether Prodigy for energy regen, it just provides it in big chunks instead of a constant flow. It sees play in GvG so it's not horrible.

Guided Weapon? It's a warrior's cunning that you can give out. Ever been spiked down in a ward? Would be extremely useful if ritualists didn't sit so far in the backline and even then still sees some play fofr when you just have to get a spike through.

Bane Signet is good for PvE, mainly because it involves 0 energy to cast. And smites can become very energy heavy, especially with the use of balth aura which is 25 nrg (right? always get the two mixed up).

My necromancer is still fairly new, so I haven't experienced too much of it.

I don't really like the holding ashes aspect on my Ritualist, but then again, I haven't unlocked much on her too. I'm still new to the game, but I know enough to get me by I guess. :P

The reason why I don't really like the holding ashes skills is that it seems as if every time I do one of the skills, the enemies always go after me. It's weird.

It’s the most useful skill thats one of the worst skills for the game overall as i see it.
I feel this skill would work better if there were a way use it off the limited skill bar.

I don't know why this discussion has gone on so long. There is no skill worse than Unyielding Aura, except maybe Vengeance.

Although using both of those with CoP is a pretty sweet combo.

Your forgetting that PD acually interrupts the skills, while diversion lets the person cast the skill. A smart person would use some meager skill on diversion, and get the hex off of them (if they decided to cast anything under 10 seconds), while you have to wait quite a while for the diversion to recharge.

While the PD, you can just keep interrupting every 2 seconds -and- delaying the interrupted skill by 12-ish seconds.
