List of totally useless RO skills

[fluidin]

And sonic blow.

Phantasmic Arrow-... I think the name is tryin to overcompensate for something.

A good no-cast pushback skill.  Also useful when using Odins[Earth Deleter] + Ulle's + Bowman's Scarf + Icarus Wing combo because you actually regain SP with every mob you kill only using one.  Good for hunting mobs you can shot easily.  I use it in PvP to push SinXs back and throw a Sandman down.  Since the pushback range is only 3, many dumber SinXs will just attribute their movement to position lag and let their character auto walk back to me.

Priest, Cure: Lolwut. Like you have the time to use it in heated situations.

I use it when I don't have bragi and have to cure Silence on someone since shift + Lex Divina has a much longer cooldown.  Don't have space on my WoE BM for it though.

they should be removing their own silence themselves.

[Uzam]

slow poison [green herb, detoxify]

[Avisari]

they should be removing their own silence themselves.

amen

[Orange]

they should be removing their own silence themselves.

Sure that's fine for PvP/WoE what if you're out leveling with someone new and they don't have green pots?

People find things useless simply because they do not use them, someone who only PvP's will find sniper link 100% useless while a sniper who only MvP's will find it can be quite useful.

[fluidin]

i know, but that limited usage doesn't make it "useful" to me, especially when even new players should be taught to carry green pots.

it has no real usage in all 3 areas of pvm/mvp/woe, while sniper link plays a huge role.

i do, however, get what you mean.

One-hand quicken- From my experience it's usually not a good idea for LKs to wield 1-handed swords. I would say if you're going to use a 1h weapon with a LK, it's better to use a Pike[4] because you get more options(spear skills AND Bowling Bash) and you get Maya/GTB/Thara Frog/whatever for use. If you're going to use a sword on a LK, use a 2h sword for Parrying and 2h quicken. Your opinion may be different, and I welcome opposition.

[fluidin]

Wielding daggers and 1hswords give more aspd= more dps for bowling.

the only problem is dispel, but you -could- wield a GTB if you had one. the higher max HP of a LK and the ele res. of a valk shield sorta offsets the loss of thara anyway. not to mention the inherent advantages of a GTB.

Note that some of the best BB weapons are 1handers: CK, Icepick, and a certain weapon i don't really want to give out specifics on, but it's a one-hander too.

[Sarin]

Dispell is a problem always. But no matter if you have 1HQ or not, DPS with swords/daggers is better than with spears.

and fluidin...do you really think that Edge is some kind of secret?

[Metafalica]

....Venom Splasher.


.....seriously. Look at its pre-reqs.

[Relics]

yeah, venom splash is bull..
Does more damage if enemy has low HP, lolwut. Why would I want to do more damage when my enemy is on low HP anyway? Might aswell just sonic blow hurr.

[Metafalica]

Thats another thing. Not only do you need to wait for it to happen, but you have to have a catalyst AND you need to have the pre-reqs to get it AND its a really sucky skill in general damage wise..

Did I mention there was a skill in the game called "Smoking" that does 1 damage to you? Thats quite useless too. xD

[Sarin]

it's what orcs use right? Well, it is not player skill so...

It was probably made as some sort of demonstration with the Cigarette item to discourage people from smoking.
