    None of those, I dont even think I ever used one of them (except SubAssault).

    The most OP skill in the game is Endless Hail. Its so essential in a Melee-DDs Rotation, you cant not use a Bow as Offhand.

    Interesting to me how every class is represented on this supposedly “OP” skill list. Seems balanced to me.

    I chose loading screens. There's no global cooldown for them and they can snare you for as long as they want :cry: *coughs* Cheaters! *coughs*

    This PvE (Player versus ESO) skill called "Loading screen" got my vote here.
    That morph called "Eternal Loading Screen" is all time winner of frustration.

    The generic and ubiquitous CC, both in PvE and PvP. It needs to be reduced. A lot!

    forward momentum.

    I think someone said it best above.


    there are no other skills that give you freesdom of movement, immunity, and a heal.

    I used to run shuffle way back but it is such *** now i dont even have the skill anymore,

    with the prevalence of snares, roots, cc in general, I almost feel I NEED to run this skill on any char with 2h.(even switched some chars to 2h just for this.

    Sucks too, becase I used to use rally.

    Personally, I don't think any skills themselves are that OP. My problem is with proc sets, poisons and enchants that damage. It's just too much.


    Ok, I guess I will say snipe and morphs. Nerf that! :B

    Only thing that's OP around here is the belly-aching, this poll reeks of sore losers. Just because some players have played for longer and fine tuned their builds to get the damn job done efficiently doesn't mean the skills they use are OP.

    I dont really have a problem with any active ability players use and spend resources on, but rather mechanics that make them a little extra effective. For example:

    Permafrost and Time Stop: Snares are just generally too high of a percent (should be 30% maybe 45% tops but really should be a flat value used to counter high speed builds rather than control everyone) and there is little to nothing that counters roots and snares as passively as they are applied.

    Fear, Fossilize, scatter shot, what used to be rune prison, etc: Break free needs to be the highest priority to go off and off any global cool down. If the user presses it, it should work RIGHT NOW.

    Cloak I guess as an ability but not being able to go in and out: Should not guarantee a crit, should not boost damage in any way from cloak or stealth or otherwise unseen, or; they take an extreme amount of damage if hit while cloaked and sneaking as it makes sense that they then are the ones caught off guard. You are undetected and suppressing DOTs, that is plenty. Heavy hitting abilities that are balanced by having a channel/cast should break sneak at the beginning of the activation. They got rid of the wrong morph here and should have kept the defensive one in stead. Camo hunter should be cheaper and have bigger range. Inner light is fine. Flare could use a larger radius or a scattered throw effect. Magblades could use a buff otherwise.

    Procs and Bleeds: Procs should require building for damage to get anything out of them. They should not be "Tank up and let procs do the work." Bleeds damage should be a percent of the armor of your target. Say 10% of your targets armor per second so if your target has 30k physical resist, you damage them for 3000 per second (just an easy number for an example)

    None of these abilities are OP because there are so many counters.

    The real MVP here are the loading screens. God bless the loading screens.

      Yeah lol. Damn that melee range, dodgeable, blockable cone of damage that might CC you if you don’t block or dodge or use an imov pot and that has no other effects whatsoever.

      it's not dodgeable, it stuns u mid-roll.

      Seriously, “snipe” is probably the most OP skill in that a glitch can easily we exploited to get a quick kill.

      Best skills in the game?

      All self-heals. All of them. Every single one of them.

      In the days before One Tamriel when I first picked up this game, I was creating a character who had no self-heals (or damage shields) to speak of. He just didn't have access to any that would make sense for his character until a certain level. Life was HARD. When he finally unlocked surge, it was game changing. When he finally learned how to cast conjured ward, suddenly soloing world bosses was possible.

      While the game has changed a lot since then, it remains true to this day that self-heals are absolutely essential.

      well since you dont have incap or spectral bow, i guess cloak. But really I would say its close between the spec bow from merciless or incap. Not relenless focus and not soul harvest.
