[Anthony]

I'm going to add my own little list on here. Just several skills and elites that I find extremely useful to have unlocked and/or acquired.

Starting with... *surprise surprise* Monk.

Healing Prayers
Word of Healing
Patient Spirit (EotN)
Signet of Rejuvenation (Factions)
Cure Hex (EotN)
Healing Seed (Core)

Protection Prayers
Zealous Benediction
Divert Hexes
Restore Condition
Aura of Faith (sorry for the long list of elites, I love prot prayers)
Aegis (Core)
Protective Spirit (Core)
Spirit Bond (Factions, bad for heroes though)
Shield of Absorption (Nightfall)
Shielding Hands (Core)
Dismiss Condition (Nightfall)


Smiting Prayers
Ray of Judgement
Castigation Signet (EotN)
Smite Hex (Core)
Smite Condition (EotN)


Divine Favor
Blessed Light
Healer's Boon
Unyielding Aura


This list is not comprehensive, I'm leaving out many of the generic "on creation" skills, such as Orison of Healing. If you do not want to unlock ALL of those elites, going for Word of Healing and Zealous Benediction will suffice. Those two are the most passable for hero builds.[/b]

OMG thank goodness for the BBcode to put the skill icons/template links in there. You guys all rock!

Request... can you uber build type folks make a thread for good hero builds? I really really really need to wipe out my templates and start fresh. I dont know what's good or works anymore.

I can post a few of my trusty ranger builds when I can get my home computer running and connected back to the internet (post-move).

[Anthony]

And here's another small skill list. As before, this isn't comprehensive. But I've found a small number of skills to be generically useful for the Mesmer class. I am no mesmer expert, but my heroes and my mesmer character have found these skills to be quite helpful.


Domination Magic
Visions of Regret
Power Block
Empathy
Backfire
Cry of Frustration
Diversion
Shatter Hex
Shatter Enchantment

Illusion Magic
Ineptitude
Clumsiness
Wandering Eye
Shrinking Armor
Illusion of Weakness
Sympathetic/Ancestor's Visage
Conjure Nightmare

Inspiration Magic
Tease
Auspicious Incantation
Channeling
Drain Enchantment
Ether Feast
Ether Signet
Inspired/Revealed Hex/Enchantment
Leech Signet
Power Drain
Signet of Humility

No Attribute
Expel Hexes
Echo
Arcane Echo
Arcane Mimicry
Web of Disruption


As always, this list is just a generic one. Skills I've found to be useful on heroes and PCs. I personally run Domination more than Illusion, so if I missed a few, let me know.
