    Kiss of the Snake is a merger of two mostly-useless skills into a single mostly-useless skill. You can get it if you want, but I really just see it as a waste of bloods.

    Frost Splash is a pretty crappy skill as well (you might find some very situational use for it). If you're demon, you might consider getting it on the off-chance you want it some day if you happen to have a ton of bloods sitting around and nothing good to spend it on (*cough* passives), but sages should definitely steer clear of this one and hold on to sage Frost Arrow.

    The upgraded Winged Shell is, for all practical purposes, pretty much exactly the same as non-upgraded Winged Shell. Don't bother.

    Feather Armageddon makes you lose Winged Pledge (not "Wing Strike", **** the new skill names) -- that is, your fastest-casting, 2s cd melee skill -- in exchange for a skill that is only marginally better than Wingspan. This one is definitely a downgrade.

    Some people get R93 and become another cookiecutter DD, other people get R93 and get called out as serious threats. At some point, it's just not about gear anymore. - Qui

    Not to mention Winged Pledge has 100% hit rate and can purge if you did not get Demon version...

    I don't find much use for it except when fighting lesser geared sins. With Lightning Strike it's 2 100% hit skills on a LA at melee range, which is decent.

    Elena Costel: Noooo... I don't want to have a dirty affair with Lady Legerity...
    Qui: b:dirty

    Demon:
    Get:
    - Winged shell upgrade
    - Kiss of Snake (2 useless skills into 1)
    - Frost Splash, I personally don't miss frost arrow at all. Sure FP is situational but it adds to Archers strong point: AoE damage from afar, in this case it's more the AoE-radius than damage but that's called compensating :P Small screenie to display FrostSplash and it's potential radius (there were no mobs enough on the left but it would reach pretty much almost into the corner of the room)

    Don't get:
    - Feather Armageddon: You go from 2 strong meleeskills to 1, and the damage-increase is almost zilch, definately not worth it.

    Getting Primal Bloods for everything isn't really a concern anymore with UCH, dailies and new update. It's a matter of time, not matter of if.

    Wow.......I had no idea the radius was so huge on that. I could definately find some uses for that. Thanks for the pic b:victory
