Equilibrium ftw

That's a tough one.

Templar Eclipse is a serious contender.
Templar Heal Ritual is a heal spell that can actually get you and your groupmates killed.
Templar Radiant Aura is worse than a potion.

NB Agony is terribad no matter how many PvPers insist on spamming it against me. It has never caused me to die.

DK Dragonblood is probably the only skill in the game you need to cast twice in order for it to do its intended function.

Mage's guild Equilibrium was obsoltete the day 1.6 patch came out (and a dubious conceptually to begin with: here have unlimited resources).
Mage's guild Fire Rune is terribly inefficient. Scalding Rune perhaps the worst morph in the game.

Undaunted Blood Altar has been a joke since Beta.

There is not a single ability in the Destruction Staff tree that is anything but boring filler.

The Restoration staff Siphon Spirit is without a doubt the most inefficient skill in the game and it actually has a cast time!

They're obviously not using it correctly. Agony is one of the best skills for setting up a wombo. If they're trying to kill you with Agony alone, they're doing it wrong. I've lost count of how many people I've killed, even with the killing blow being from Agony. It definitely has no place on this list.

Equilibrium is a pretty solid candidate for the list. Imho something used primarily for killing yourself is not a useful skill. I'd rather die to a mudcrab - even though it's sometimes the quicker option. Volcanic Rune is way better than Scalding, and has practical uses in pvp and pve alike (even moreso in update 12). Blood Altar is probably the least useful of all I've seen here.

I think a strong contender is Immovable, since every class has access to the same buffs, and the immovability component of this skill has been broken since the game released 2 1/2 years ago. Completely useless, and a huge waste of resources.

Underused? I'd say venom arrow. In a time full of 40 meter radiants, venom arrow is a blessing, yet rarely anyone uses it. It's also useful for stopping an enemy res. Really handy tool.

I actually use this one. I love my ranged interrupts. Sometimes I wonder what I'm missing out on by not using Poison Injection though.

Um... I'm not familiar enough with skills outside of my class/build so I don't have any really good answers to the question. Blood Altar does seem better in concept than in actual usage though.

any templar gap closer

Equilibrium is a joke, need to update the mages guild tree and replace this with something more beneficial.

Ones I don't see many people use, hidden blade, guard, invigorating drain? (Vampire move)

Blood alter

If this were a question for passives I'm pretty sure Snake Blood would be the winner.

Radiant Aura

Disagree with everything in this thread. I've effectively used basically all of the skills, including equilibrium back when it increased health regen.

Blood alter also works just fine, it's basically a AOE version of the resto staff skill that gives health back on damage dealt.

Hmmm. Scalding rune is up there (volcanic is decent for tanks without good native cc).

My vote goes to trapping webs though. Used to be a good alternative magicka spam. Now it is a terrible stam aoe. Maybe it is used in pvp though? Not sure.

I would also vote for silver leash. It is the only non class non weapon dependant gap closer and STILL no one uses it.

Nobody uses it because It is terrible at being a gap closer because you have to wait for it to latch before you get the other skill to activate and pull you to them. You could do 3 crit rushes before that thing goes off once.
