✭For me it's a tie between the NB's Agony and morphs and the Sorc's Rune Prison. I could see theoretical special circumstance use with builds that takes advantage of disorients, but I just seem to always pass them by and go a different direction.
They almost seem to me like refugee abilities from 10 or 15 year old games when long-duration CC was used routinely (remember WOW Sapping and Sheeping when they were useful in dungeon runs?)
How about you? Which abilities do you always ignore?
Rune Cage and Defensive rune are pretty handy skills in pvp. They're ranged cc that ignores block, much like a NBs fear. Defensive Rune can be pretty tactical; it lasts for a minute and anyone attacking you gets instantly cc'd with no effort from you. This can work as a ranged interrupt for channeled skills such as radiant destruction, and will also throw off gankers. It can also be used to cc a dk that reflects your frags, even if you block the reflected frags. Basically any damage you take while the rune is active will cc the one who damaged you, even walking through caltrops.PC | EU1 -

Manifestation of fear. I had fun with that ability in duels. It used to be pretty cool before it was changed but now its worthless. I dunno what you mean by new immovable, pretty sure its been the same.PS4 NA DC0 -

✭Lmao, so many people here listing good abilities they probably just don't play the content needed for them.Wrecking blow(old one), jesus beam, vigor, purifying/extended ritual, cloak, elusive mist, hurricane, dk-wings, BoA.
They're all so bad and useless.
Yeah and blazing, meteor, dawnbreaker and repentance.
Can't really agree with practically anything you said.
The only abilities I've found quite underwhelming were the undaunted abilities except for orbs.Make PC NA raiding great again!

dreamfarer✭✭✭I threw Bone Shield on an alt a few weeks back and - this is probably a bug but it worked like this consistently there - I was able to self-trigger the synergy. Meaning I would cast Bone Shield and immediately see the synergy proc come up and I could use it and it would fire off the shield effect.
If they leave that bug in place, it's a much more useful skill than the base version suggests itself to be (for non-DK's that is)0 -

Stonefist is a close second in my list. Damage is pathetic, and both morphs suck.
Honorable mentions are Impulse, Fire Rune and Equilibrium.
Flames of Oblivion is a must have for mag and stam DK...
It is very strong in PvE. Flames of oblivion is basically a dot and is quite strong. It is not a spammable though if that's what people think...3 -

Undaunted had 2 skills that are very widely used. Orbs and inner fire. Tanks and healers use them, they are needed just cause its not a DPS kit move does not mean it's not used. The other two though are uselessAtraisMachina wrote: »Arrow spray and knockback bow skill. Blazing shield. Silver shards. Radial sweep. All of the undaunted skills. Its like 70% of the skills in this game are pointless.1 -
bubbygink✭✭✭✭✭A lot of people have said Equilibrium but that skill has uses. I've seen Fengrush, among others, run it in pvp on their stam sorcs to build magicka back up. Use up your magicka to streak away and LoS -> use Equilibrium to build it back up -> wait a couple seconds (maybe drop trops/trap beast for when the enemies catch up) -> use 3-4 Dark Deals (the first one at reduced cost b/c of Equilibrium) to build health and stamina back up (debuff only last 4 seconds so the last couple will start healing). Plus keep in mind that others can still heal you when you use it.
Edit: I also have seen magicka sorcs use the skill, especially when running with a templar. If you get some distance or LoS the enemy, maybe in a tower or behind some rocks, you can switch to your overload bar and get a few Equilibriums off to build your resources up. All while getting a couple BoLs from your healer so you're good to go. Plus your next skill you cast afterward will have reduced cost (from Equilibrium) and be empowered (from Mage's Guild passive). While it is definitely a niche skill, it can actually be very useful for sustain if utilized correctly.Edited by bubbygink on December 20, 2016 10:08PM0 -

Mm I think you don't play any content if you can seriously say that jesusbeam is good?! Seriously it is execute and starts only doing extra damage at 50% hp!! And also the range is only, what 28 meters. I mean not even 30 meter range!? Like what? So how can you not say it is a bad skill?

✭✭✭✭✭I get a little bummed out over the fighters guild silver bolts (plus morphs)...
it looks sooooooo cool to whip out that small crossbow and hip fire away...even makes a cool noise...as soon as it stopped knocking players down - totally underwhelming unless your dungeon diving with a bunch of daedra around...even then there's about a million better options to use...
