What are the worst abilities that you're never tempted to slot?

    As a mostly PVP Mag DK player, Ash Cloud is pretty useless. It's not the worst skill in PVE, though.

    Chains are still useless most of the time. It's a sad reflection on the skill when I'm having more success using Fossilize and walking up to the person to attack them, instead of using the class's intended gap closer.

    Apart from that, Equilibrium is something no rational person should ever slot :D

    Yeah, I've been a DK since PC (around craglorns release) til Xboxs release.
    Dragonfire scale is a large step back from it glorious magnificent wings; the days where it reflected meteors and actually reflected objects correctly instead of taking the damage while having it reflect at the enemy.

    I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong since I always slot ground or area abilities rather than just enemy because I feel like I'm always fighting areas of enemies rather than singular.

    Equilibrium. I don't even think I have the base skilled leveled up. It's the only skill I'm not even tempted to use.

    Edit: Second thought, Soul Trap. Used to be a good skill to slot once in a while. But now that I've got full soul gems falling out of my *** I never even feed it skill points.

    I love how there are players here that use the "worst" abilities (me being one of them). It's a good thing that shows how diverse the abilities really are and how people will find a way to use them to their specific needs. I'm temped to slot and play with all of them eventually but currently don't have any that are unworthy.

    This probably would be a good thread for ESO to look at, I agree with pretty much the majority here on which skills are useless

    Repentance/Spear Shards absolutely help when stamina players that can't manage their own resources are in the party. As a magtemp tank I wonder what my healers think when they throw down the shards and I just ignore it.

    I remember when equillibrium would be on every magic caster's bar;

    I could pull 2.1k dps and have *** magicka recovery, then pop a couple equilibriums and healers would take care of me..

    You don't feed soul trap skill points it's auto unlocked when you first get and you can't get the skill point out of it..

    It's mean't to be a skill for a new player to use and also get them easy soul gems at the beginning of the game. Thats it.

    People said that stone giant doesn't knock people down anymore only environmental.

    also I misread the title, I thought it was "the worst abilities you are tempted to slot"

    Disregaurd my comments I mean abilities that seem good but aren't which I think is a much more interesting topic.

    I remember when sliver leash would yank some of those front line wanna be players (sorcerers :)) from the enemies front line into yours so you could swallow them up...

    started using it after I got pulled into some zergs myself...I remember thinking at the time 'what the heck just happened' - bummed they nerfed that one...

    I prefer Radiant Aura. Everyone runs Repentance, that's why. And Aura works while Repent doesn't if there are no corpses around.

    As soon as someone uses a potion it's absolutely pointless. It's a useless skill. Just having repentance slotted and not using it is better.

    How is it better by having it slotted and not using it when they both have the same slot passive? And unless people are constantly using potions then you're wrong?

    Can Repent stack on Repent? Can Radiant Aura stack on Repentant? So why run an ability morph that 90% of players run already anyways?

    Both give YOU 10% recovery across the board. One gives you the same buff as pots give (PvE people are non stop on pots and in PvP they are used incredibly often) while the other gives free stam and health.

    Nobody will ever thank you for having the other morph. Repentance or don't even bother.

    Just never mind lol

    I use it for Morph stacking purposes, sometimes in dungeons mostly in Trials. Yes I agree Repent is better obviously. Yes they both have the same slot passive even though you said they didn't, Yes I use it because everyone uses the other Morph Repent. If someone has a problem with that then remove me from the group or better manage your own resources.

    Yep, this. When I'm healing I don't really know or care if my tank is picking up the shards. I'm going to throw them anyway, maybe they'll be used by the tank, or by DPS, or just lay there as a ground dot. Specifically, you're going to get one right after you block every heavy boss attack. Use it or don't, doesn't matter.

    Exactly. Great dps skill that stuns. Stamina is always useful even for mTanks, plus you get all resources for activating a synergy - if you decide so.

    You know it's funny... every time I think an ability is the "worst," I end up using it for some reason later and find it has a niche purpose. Some stuff could use minor adjustments but I'm happy with the huge amount of skills available to us.
