User talk:Misery/Never used

Some stuff.

• Defiant sees some play. Still, niche skills are niche.
• Same deal with Cautery Signet.
• Equinox is only useful with Arcane Languor.
• You'd be surprised how many bad eles use Mind Burn.
• Psychic Instability is good. I really don't know why it doesn't see play.

Some more stuff.

• Onslaught is a good skill. We're talking about the one that gives dervs RaO, right?
• Quick shot is decent. Smarter rangers use Glass Arrows for teh domages, though. Sins use it with Disrupting Accuracy. Still, niche skills are niche.
• Spirit Light Weapon isn't terrible. Not with a bar of OP rit heals, especially. Still, WoWarding FTW.
• Thunderclap is kinda iffy. It's pretty devastating with, say, a Palm Strike sin. Still, niche skills are niche.

The rest definitely need some love. Raine - talk 23:01, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Defiant shouldn't see play, it's horrificly bad. Oh yay, you can't do more than 120 damage to me. Cautery Signet is the worst party-wide condition elite in the game. Long activation, long recharge and you can't use a 40/40. Equinox just gets killed. Psychic Instability doesn't see play because a 2 second KD is just worse than every other conditional effect on an elite interrupt. It would need a significantly lower recharge to keep that effect. Onslaught almost has potential, except there is nothing you can actually do with it, most situations you are better off just taking Whirling Charge. Quick Shot is not decent, just because it beats [dR]. The major major problem with Spirit Light Weapon is that it is an elite weapon spell and the non-elite weapon spells are better. You can actually kite Thunderclaps daze effect without a speed boost. That is poor design. But meh, feel free to take what you want from the list. I don't think I am going to do anything with it, I was just bored at work. Misery 23:22, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Oh, Defiant is terribad. I must've been thinking of some other skill. One that steals life when stuff hits you, or whatnot.

Cautery signet is the worst party-wide condition removal in the game. That makes it worse than, what, Martyr?

Spirit placement is FTW!

PI could use a lower recharge (3 would make it so win. 5 would be less imba.).

Whirling Charge is brutal on the energies. If dervs had a clean, non-elite DW (akin to Dismember), Onslaught would be wonderful. Derv elites are good, it's just that most of the non-elites aren't.

I didn't see the quick shot > [dR] match. I've just seen it used pretty well with certain preps for DPS ranger builds. Now, whether DPS ranger builds suck is another issue.

Yeah. Spirit Light Weapon isn't bad, it's just that the imba non-elites are hax.

If Thunderclap were an automatic daze, every Paragon and their mother in law would run it. Honestly, take a water snare IMO. 3 secs of Freezing Gust is enough.

Still, I wouldn't complain if any of them got (reasonably) buffed. Raine - talk 23:45, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
