farting bob's top 5 most useless skills
well, last time it was best skills, so now i want to know your worst skills. take into consideration lack of dmg/def, looks, lack of synergizing ability or whatever floats your boat.
raven
how can you do a list and not include this skill? lets look at the stats. at lvl 20 you have 5 ravens doing a whooping 21-23 dmg and can do 31 hits. so in total thats 682 phys dmg spread over at least a minute. come on, a quill rat can regan life faster than that:lol:
there is no advantage to this skill, it can jsut about kill in blood moor, not much further, and i cant think of anyone who has taken a druid whos main skill is raven past norm. in fact, i cant think of a druid whos main skill is raven doing anythign serious.
spirit of barbs
now im sorry to all you druid fans, but this deserves to be here as well. doing exactly the same as thorns and iron maiden, yet this skill at lvl 20 only does 430% dmg return. thats less than a slvl 6 thorns or slvl 11 iron maiden. andif you usethis, you cant use oak sage, a verygood skill indeed.
and since you can get thorns mercs, there is no point to this skill what so ever. prove me wrong.
weaken
yes, a non-druid skill has made it into the top 5! this skill means mosters to 33% less dmg to you. nothing else. sure, it may have its uses in act 1/2 normal, but beyond that you have decrepify. it does more dmg reduction, slows down eneies, and has amp dmg as well. so for that short period that monsters hit hard but your not lvl 24, weaken may have a use, but beyond that, its pointless. never put more than a point here, there is no need.
increased stamina
when i first saw this skill, i thought it must be a bug. it had to do something other than increase your stamina, but no, thats all it does. never, in the history of mankind, has anybody thought it a good idea to put more than 1 point here. most barbs dont even do that. thsi skill has ever helped anybody. ever.
if this skill does not get votes, i will personally hack into the rpgforums server and whipe all the posts to teach you people a lesson.
psychic hammer
yes, it does magic dmg, so can be compared to the pally's hammer, but this is very, very rubbish. at lvl 20 it does 28-39 phys and magic dmg. blessed hammer does that at slvl 4 and it does 150% to undead, and has 2 good synergies. psychic hamemr does not. ive never considered this anythign but than a waste of a point to get cloak of shadows. can kill in act 1 and 2 norm if this skill is maxed, but with synergies galore in the sassy trees, 20 points into a skill that by the time its maxed does no dmg what so ever.
theres my 5, take your pick, discuss, argue, flame whatever you want.
any that ive not mentioned? then post it and a reason, and what one of my top 5 you would replace it with.
