victory is mine! it may sounds weird but tactics is this: i use sever artery and gash to one foe then use epidemic then use victory is mine (vim) whenever u need health. its decent and keeps you much more healthy rather than a w/mo.

i also like feast of corruption. i use suffering then feast of corruption. very good way to use necro as an aoe caster and it also gives you a decent amount of health.

in response to a bunch of posts:

first, doylak signet isnt elite, and stinks anyways.

second, glads defense may be "good on stance tank", but b/c stance tanks suck i wouldnt classify it as anywhere being a top elite. most people that use it are RA warrior scrubs, anyways.

word of healing is a very good monk elite, true. it happens to be one of the few monk elites that are good at all. (some of the ones ive heard in this thread, like healing hands, and shield of regen/judgement, are very bad ) I feel that restore condition is extremely powerful if used correctly in the right situation. word is good for an efficiency healer, so is RC. But my main point is that 90% of heal and prot monks should be taking energy management elites anyways, and hardly any monk secondaries want a monk elite, so in most cases it makes absolutely no difference what the best monk elite is, since they are uniformly worse than other class'es elites.

Warrior: Warriors Endurance (cant say why hehe)
Mesmer: Illusionary Weaponry (quite fun to play around with, gets more fun when rangers blind you, or tries to evade/block your attacks )
Necromancer: Life Transfer (good fun in ascalon arena)
Elementalist: Glyph of Renewal ( goes well with many spells)
Monk: Spellbreaker(this spell can almost make a song using just enemy clicks)
Ranger: Greater Conflagration(the fact it ruins 35% of the skills in the game)

Illusionary Weaponry for me, just cuz you can be all Jedi-like.

Im a merc.

My favorite elite is Panic. You cant use it out of random arenas but its the only skill that has some uniqueness left to it.People actually do panic when they get it on them..-2 energy to the entire team and everytime the monk or war uses a sig..bam 90 dmg..stacked with backfire+diversion=zomg nerf!! Im a sucker for the odd stuff though..my deep rooted gen x spirit

man its the biggest war killer i know (which is great cause i hate wars).
seeing as how wars have exactly 2 pips of en regen, heal sig is one of their moset used skills, and they tend to clump and attack the same target, panic just kills them.
sometimes i take a degen heavy build w/ disease, illusion stuff, and panic and spam them, just watching the other team go nuts and imagining what might be going thru their heads or team chat.
its actually a pretty bad build but its fun to use

I love using panic and Ignorance on a bunch of warriors, (no energy, and no healing sigs).

For the W/Mo's or other Secondary classes with heals, I just have my interupts ready (and blackout).

And Leech Signet/Diversion for anoying skills like Troll Ungent.

Oath Shots' downsides are that it's a Bow Attack, ranger skills in general don't have a long recharge, and you've got QZ and Serpent Quickness to help spam ranger skills without use of the precious elite slot. Many many people with Ranger secondarys can make use of this skill, but havn't even given it the first thought .... which is fine with me...the longer it will aboid the wrath of the nerf
Ranger secondary? Don't make me laugh.

Now, read the description AGAIN:
Elite Bow Attack. If Oath Shot hits, all your other skills are recharged. If it misses, all your skills are disabled for 10 seconds. (50% miss chance with Expertise attribute of 7 or less)
