Every class has that one skill or morph that almost never sees the light of day
Sorcs have Daedric Tomb (I see this every now and then but its rare)
DKs have Fragmented Shield (tbh both morphs look the same so I can't really tell them apart in the chaos of Cyrodiil but I'm certain Obsidian is far more popular)
Nightblades have Manifestation of Terror (I see this maybe half a dozen times each patch and its always amusing)
But there is one morph which is all elusive, one which draws confusion even among veterans upon seeing this skill.
This is.... Solar Barrage. I showed this skills to some of my friends who like I have played for a while (we have around 800 CP to put in some perspective) and they had no idea what move that was.
I've played ESO since 1.6, I have NEVER seen any templar uses this morph. Hell I've seen unmorphed Solar Flare a couple of times. Even Healing Ritual and its subpar morphs see more use than SB. Maybe I saw a lvl 12 Templar in a zerg using Solar Barrage, but thats probably only because he chose the wrong morph and he didn't have the gold to respec...
Literally the only other class ability I think is worse and less used is Leeching Strikes! Honestly both these skills are so under the radar I don't see any mention of them on the forums lol.

Which brings up the subject of empty soul gems. I have over 100 of them (sold and/or destroyed countless more), waiting to become something. Too bad we can't deconstruct 10 of them to become 1 soul gem.

Probably because healers don't have a spot on their bar for Blessing of Restoration - Combat Prayer is just meta, and using it labels you as "elitist" from the outset - because they have to slot that strong solar barrage to boost group DPS. I bet they also put blue ribbons around everyone, and the melee DDs leave green little runes every time they roll dodge
How can you put tomb over crystal blast for sorc

Speaking for myself, I stopped bringing up craptastic morphs because I got tired of being told by players with far less experience than I that I had no idea of what I was talking about and failed to appreciate its nuanced virtues.
With Solar Barrage specifically, I had a PvE tank tell me that it was a good spell to grab aggro .. apparently because Caltops, a spell with a much wider and longer lasting AoE, is worse?
But if you are looking for bad morphs, Solar Barrage I'm not sure is in the top 3. Crystal Blast. From the Templar's own skilline, Total Dark is probably the most inefficient skill in the entire game. Power Slam is terrible in comparison to reverb bash. Blessing of Restoration will get you kicked out of raids. The worst is probably Elemental Susceptibility. Who can't keep up a 20 second buff?

I use blood altar on my tank when we do no healer runs. It is great

I murdered myself to Total Dark once. Only time I've ever seen it used, I was wondering how the guy bursted me so fast, then on the recap it showed my heavy attack, poison injection(tick), draining shot. That skill is so freaking niche that its ignored by everyone. It shuts down any true ranged builds though entirely.

All you have to do is CC break and then you gain immunity from it and all CC effects for 7 seconds.
DPS skill morphs that no one uses:
2H: Forward momentum
2W: Whirling Blades

Aha I see, good to know, never encountered it in combat before, never needed to know it. After I encountered it I read the tooltip and thought it was ridiculously OP versus any ranged build, did not know it could be negated with CC break.
