Chimerako Posted December 25, 2012 Author Share Posted December 25, 2012 Worst ability for me is wirling blow for the shadow. High cost low damage and doesn't generate much threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayGonJinn Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Best opener... Poppoing Combat Focus (to get 4 stacks of Singularity) then leaping into battle and dropping a MONSTER FORCE SWEEP! lol no im just kidding... Best opener Leaping to my target with unremitting and Giving them a Master Strike with 10% bonus damage. LOVES IT! Merry Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerilas Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Most underrated ability: cleanse and/or kolto infusion its PVP. The cleanse my scoundrel has works on nearly *********** nothing. No slows, no roots, no nothing. the only thing it seems to cleanse is fire from a pt/merc? not sure which ability that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JP_Legatus Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 (edited) Way to prove his point. Since that ability is nearly spam able (at least for sorcs it's like 4s cd) it will mess dudes up vs those classes that rely on dots since those dots are required to proc main attack skills If you think this is worthless you are so very wrong, do some duels vs madness/pyrotech/annihilation and you'll see how good that really is Edited December 25, 2012 by JP_Legatus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was saying cleanse/purge is underrated. 5 second cooldown, by the way. Edited December 26, 2012 by vimm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
