Worst elite skill in the game? 213.84.230.131 05:07, 26 May 2006 (CDT)
 * One of, Archer's Signet isn't exactly great Skuld  05:10, 26 May 2006 (CDT)
 * Shared Burden is easily the worst elite. Kessel 11:31, 27 June 2006 (CDT)
 * I'd say shared burden is not even a contender for worst elite. --68.142.14.40 11:58, 27 June 2006 (CDT)
 * i think that dubious "honor" goes to Ride the Lightning. at only twice the energy cost of Lightning Strike, you can do 10 extra damage, and save your target the trouble of comming to get you. --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 13:26, 27 June 2006 (CDT)
 * The spark of a debate. After looking at Shared Burden once more and considering its worth in those pesky competitive missions I revise. I think Shove is a pretty bad elite, but I could be missing out on something. Kessel 04:13, 28 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Shove's worth is in getting a knockdown without building adrenaline, only warrior skill that does that. A KD/AS warrior's dream skill :) --Karlos 04:20, 28 June 2006 (CDT)


 * YAY debate! in order, ending with the number 1 worst elite:
 * Archer's Signet has good uses, imagine a spike build with four spike skills, triger them all and pay... nothing. wait for them to recycle and begin your normal spike again.
 * shove is a pretty mediocre elite, but it has some very very good uses (ex. Kanaxai). it's an energy touch skill, so no build-up, works with Expertise, not affected by Blind, slips under Empathy unaffected.
 * Shared Burden seems like Imagined Burden times Area. snare a whole group of warriors with one cast. it is a bit weak for an elite, esp when compaired to some of the other mesmer elites.
 * Glass Arrows, however, is a hedge skill. do damage, or cause bleeding, but never both.
 * Ride the Lightning has low damage, long recharge, and drags a squishy backline caster into the middle of the fray. this is the same reason people never use shock on elementalists

 * Is it me, or does Glass Arrow add the highest raw damage of all preperations? I mean, it's higher than read the wind, and Melandru's Arrows is conditional, although a pretty good one...Silk Weaker 07:55, 20 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Ignite and kindle are higher for all but the lowest attribute ranks (and kindle is much higher at the high end). --68.142.14.19 08:07, 20 July 2006 (CDT)
