I thought to make a thread for every class and ask you folks...

Which is the most underrated skill amongst your class? The kind of skill, that other players of your class dont really seem to appreciate, at least not most of them, but you've found a nice use for it.

You could also mention why you personally like this skill and why others do not favor it so much. Both PvE and PvP scenarios are welcomed.

    Furious Ocean.

    'Cause many psys seem to Q.Q how having separate Water Cannon was better. Due to zhennish nature FO allows doing all kinds of insane thingies, that were previously up to chances if successful or not, safely without worrying about chances.

    The Furious Ocean update is bad not because of losing Aqua Canon but because you lose Torrent. We also dont even need a Zhen considering we can chain AoEs relatively safely behind Psy Will and Bubble of Life Purify + Expel all the same.

    As for underrated skills, that's hard to say. All of them serve some purpose whether its single/aoe damage/effect. I'd say for me its Disturb Soul since I don't use it as much as I ought to, and skills like Red Tide/Shroud of Shadow have little to no practical application.

    Sorry Colum, but you will not get any real answers on the psy forum here. Just ask the "Psy MUST be built and played this way" clique what their answers are... that is all this entire "Psy Forum" will yield due to none of those people being worth arguing with. Just notice how dead the "Psy Forum" has been for a LONG time. Peace <3

    This should have been all Euthymius wrote as a reply to the OP:

    but that was not the case, was it? And "We" should clearly be stated as "I"... And Euthymius is not even one of the nastiest ones... although, I might be inclined to say Shroud of Shadow b:chuckle

    As mentioned, hard to tell as all skills have their purpose at some point.

    But I'd Soul of Silence on the squad healer. Haven't seen much.

    You tryin' to tell me how to post, son?
    I explained exactly why Furious Ocean's not a good idea. Whether or not someone agrees or disagrees with that is up to them and how they play. Maybe they don't care if they lose Aqua Canon (not a big loss tbh) or Torrent but if they'd rather drop an AoE and one of the better DoTs in this game for a 1 Spark Zhen that we got by just fine without? Thats on them.

    Um... It doesn't increase HP regeneration/recovery. Only affects skills and pots used on target, and charm CD. Unless one cannot rely at all on skills descriptions. b:surrender

    Edit: You probably meant the HP regeneration using the methods mentioned.

    Soul of Retaliation only because most Psys tend to dryhump Soul of Stunning and forget Retal. Soul of Stunning = only when you're certain your opponent won't expect it or 1v1 versus classes lacking anti-stun (wizzies)

    Soul of Retal = Everything else

    Soul of Silence squad BMs. BMs are priority targets that are on the front lines and basically need to be taken down, lest the opposing team fight at a clear disadvantage. Clerics are going to hide in the back and likely only be attacked by a select few (which they can sleep or Sog) or sins that either pop IG or resist half the silences anyways. BMs can and will be shot at constantly, so SoSi'ing them extends their lifespan and makes the enemy team that much more crippled because they've got both a stunner/amp'er harassing them and they're being disabled simply for attempting to kill him. He's tanky too, so there'll be plenty of silences.

    Well, since I found out that Psionic Link doesn't work in TW/NW(?) I guess I won't be using that skill anymore xD. And Christy omg did you really just say that about empowered vigor? D: PICKLES

    The skill I use least that I thought I'd make use of more? Disturb Soul is a great one that comes to mind, I can think of a handful of times I've used it but usually it's just a better idea to try and stun the opponent instead - I wish our DoT's had a bit more viability, damage wise torrent/sand trap leave much to be desired with the inflated m.def's from passives.

    Disturb Soul was the shizz on Wizards but with purify proc, it doesn't always stay on as long as you want.
