Hi hi, it's me again with another amazing and interesting thread.

I will compile a top 3 of best: At-wills, Encounters,Dailies in the two game modes we play.

Here goes:

PVP:

At-wills

1) Duelist's Flurry
2) Disheartening Strike (I'm aware it was ninja nerfed, it's still good though)
3) Ray of Frost

Honorable mentions: Gloaming Cut, Essence Defiler (VERY underrated), Careful Attack, Hellish Rebuke.


Encounters:

Offensive Encounters:

1) Icy Rays
2) Lashing Blade
3) Anvil of Doom

Honorable mentions: Killing Flames, Fox Shift, Bull Charge.

Defensive Encounters:

1) Shield (Placed this above ITC solely because Shield is the ONLY thing at the moment that can evade/survive the Mighty Shocking Execution. Tested and confirmed.

2) Impossible to Catch
3) Astral Shield

Honorable mentions: Knight's Valor



Daily Powers

Offensive Dailies

1) Shocking Execution
2) Ice Knife
3) Indomitable Strengh (GWF version)

Honorable mentions: Brood of Hadar, Disruptive Shot, BloodBath (Didn't place it in top 3 because we're exluding daze here, without daze BB is easy to dodge)

Defensive/Utility dailies


1) Hallowed Ground
2) Forest Ghost
3) Villain's Menance

Honorable mentions: Divine Armor, Anointed Army, Slam, Avalanche of Steel.




PVE


At-Wills

1) Aimed Shot
2) Duelist's Flurry
3) Wicked Strike

Honorable Mentions: Weapon Master's Strike, Threatening Rush.


Encounters:

Offensive Encounters:

1) Steal Time
2) Smoke Bomb
3) Come And Get It / Daring Shout (Intimidation)

Honorable mentions: Split the Sky, Indomitable Battle Strike, Dreadtheft, Enforced Threat, Rain of Arrows.

Defensive Encounters:

1) Astral Shield
2) Knight's Valor
3) Fox's cunning (Underrated, very useful in critical situations)

Honorable Mentions: Into the Fray


Dailies:

Offensive Dailies

1) Tyrannical Threat
2) Oppressive Force
3) Seismic Shot

Defensive/Utility Dailies:

1) Hallowed Ground
2) Divine Armor
3) Fighter's Recovery


That's it. Feel free to post yours and tell me if I forgot anything or if you agree/disagree on certain stuff.

    Unstoppable is neither an AT Will, Encounter, nor a Daily.

    No threatening rush? In PVP it is an infinitely spammable closer, in PVE it is an infine closer/ debuff.
    PVE: Aimed shot is only the right answer for certain archery builds. Given the number of mobs split is still a better answer in most cases.
    No Villians Menace? Huge AOE followed by damage buff followed by CC immunity. On any other class it would be straight abusive broken.
    Also on dailies. How did Forest Ghost make the list? I mean Ice Storm may screw your party but as a defence it can't be argued with.

    I agree with the odd placement of Forest Ghost. I'm also unsure how Singularity failed to be added to PvE, in some boss fights it's almost mandatory to handle the mobs.
