Most iconic class skills

Athan1

In your opinion, what are the most iconic skills per class? And why?

I don't have much experience with other classes, but for Templars, my two top picks would be Jabs (which make us the one-skill class and can carry an entire build) and our beam (referencing some real world personality, the J-beam).

For Nightblades def invisibility, and for Sorcerers their streak.

Sorc has 2 skills I see everywhere I go, in front of crafting stations, wayshrines, quest npcs, doors...

Same apply for warden as well.

Iconic skills for each class
Templar: jab and hand wave (honor the dead)
DK: "get over here" and foot stomp (shield)
NB: cloak and jump
sorc: Deadra and teleport
Warden: ice armor and underground skalks
Necro: leaping skeletons and tombstones

From what people tell me, and from how I'd played the class, DK's iconic skills are Fossilize, Leap, and Flame Lash. If you see a DK odds are they're going to have one or all three of the skills slotted.

DK: Leap
Nightblade: Cloak
Templar: Jabs/nope button
Sorc: Hardened Ward/Streak
Necro: Big Daddy
Warden: Shalk, though I'd swear it was uppercut.

Is it group PvE, pvp, or overland thread?

DK: "Batman" aka the leap ulti
Templar: jabs
Sorc: crit surge
Nightblade: cloak
Warden: Yogi (bear)
Necro: blastbones

In all honesty though, all their class skills are iconic to each class.

Why do people call it Jesus beam? There are 1000s of different words that could've suited that skill, why Jesus beam? I've never been to understand how this became a thing.

(No hate just genuinely wondering)

Cause big beam of holy energy = Jesus going pew pew..

Also no other word is quite as memeable or unique as "Jesus beam." 100% you'd remember that over literally any other name.

It's popularity is proof enough. It's just what caught on. No popular game really has a Jesus Beam that stands out as much.

Microwave beam

DK chains are pretty iconic too. I also like their standard, especially when I see AD banners - which happens like never, because all DKs are EP, and maybe a few DC.

Templar abilities would be nice to see in single player restoration skill line

Casul

Warden is definitely netch.

Microwave beam

Jesus beam not only sounds powerful, but is funny.

And it's more on point with the theme of Templars.

For DKs, Dragon Blood.

When I first started playing and I saw DKs use that, I thought they were vampires.

Rastoric

Sorc - Crystal Blast - ranged aoe with stun.. sorely missed.

If the number of flappies and bears I see while trying to do stuff in cities is anything to go by, I'd say those are the two most iconic Sorcerer and Warden skills...

For Dragonknights... hmm... I want to say the Fire/Poison Breath. It's very draconic, and iconic for the class. Just a good ol' belch of red/green.

For Nightblades, Shadow Cloak, the only at-will Invisibility that I can think off. Make Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood stuff a cakewalk!

Templar is definitely the stabby-stabby. I willingly admit I too embrace the stabby-stabby spam, though I'm trying to break myself.

Necromancer is the Colossus, by far. Any dungeon I'm in with a Necromancer will no doubt have the good ol' Colossus come out and play with some smashy-smashy.

Not many people use it, actually haven't see any other using it so far, cause it is not the most efficient skill. But I like using Power Extraction with my NB.
Just standing in a group of mobs and suck the life force out from them seem so much more fun than Whirlwind.
