Power Block all the way.

There is nothing like that warm fuzzy feeling when a monk is sitting there cursing and swearing. . .ah, good times.

(by the way, it is Healing Hands)

ye power block is fun stuff.
i wouldve said ether renewal, but that got hit wit teh nerf bat and is now nearly useless. i could also say migraine but using arcane conundrum w/ power block is more effective.
god nothing in the world feels better than letting that deluded fire ele get his meteor shower to 9 seconds, and then interrupting his sry arse, smacking him into the ground and killing his energy/health/skill recharges.
on a side note, ive been wondering, when you use power block, is the skill that was power blocked turned off for an additional 15 seconds or does just recharge natuarally at same speed.
i would think the former......

Healing Hands is perverted.
Healing Hands replied:"I never copped a feel"

Mine would have to be... Offering of Blood
next would be Arcane mimicry to see what my friends using.

Mo/Me users take a friend(Mo/Me) and take 2 healing elites with arcane mimicry *gasp*

My favorite Elite? Shield of Regeneration.

for 3-10 seconds, it has the same regen rate as Healing breeze, but gives an addtional 40 armor to that target ally.

It takes a bit longer to recast, but it's what helped me kill Glint awhile back

Warrior- Glad's Defense
Monk- Mark of Protection
Mesmer- Energy Surge
Necromancer- Spiteful Spirit
Ranger- Too many to choose... Spike Trap, Oath shot, Poison Arrow are all favorites
Elementalist- Elemental Attunement

I wonder if they have more skills they'll add more skills slots, and if more skills slots, the ability to carry more elites...

my favorites for each profession:
elementalist: thunderclap
mesmer: ineptitude
ranger: barrage
monk: unyeilding aura
necromancer: spiteful spirit
warrior: gladiator's defense

Keep in mind that these are MY favorite, I've noticed that there are quite a few flamers on here that like to comment negatively about nearly anything that anyone else says. So, if you dont like my choices... keep it to yourself.

warrior: eviscerate (best single attack in game)
ranger: quick shot (though Eonwe is right those other shots are good too)
elementalist: glyph of renewal (so many ways to abuse this skill )
mesmer: crippling anguish/migraine (power block is overrated)
necro: offering of blood (best energy management in game)
monk: uhh, restore condition (not that you should be using a monk elite very often anyways, though)

i sincerely hope that everyone here that answered with "galds defense" or "healing hands" was being sarcastic.

elementalist: mind burn (mind burn+warrior or ranger=one dead warrior or ranger)

i sincerely hope that everyone here that answered with "galds defense" or "healing hands" was being sarcastic. umm, unless you ARE a monk. word of healing is amazing for a pure healer, shield of regeneration is a great butt saver, shield of judgment(is amazing)...and the list goes on.

glads defense is a great skill to let the monk have a bit of time to heal you, while you can still deal damage...great elite for a stance tank. i guess maybe you arent one though..

None atm

Ranger- oath shot and Ferocious Strike
Mes- has to be the power block
Ele- glyph of renewal
Monk- Spellbreaker (nothing better than a mes trying to remove it with shatter enchantment over and over again going, "y cant i get rid of it")
Warrior- Eviscerate
Necro- spiteful spirit (it always funny to see one iway warrior kill his own team by himself)

My favorite mesmer elite has definitely got to be Power Block. As for my monk, I'd have to say Shield of Deflection...when used properly, you can keep this thing up forever, without having to worry about energy :P

Although I must admit, Unyielding Aura is quite fun as well...

These are just personal favorites, and dont relate to what I think is most effective.
