So what's your favorite skill so far?

(Dug around for this a bit but didn't seen anything specific, pardon if I missed it.)

Basically as title. Any attack, heal, or passive you found particularly effective, helpful, or just plain cool? It can be from Class, Weapon, whatever.

My favorite so far is Silver Bolts, which you get for Rank 2 in Fighters Guild. Since my Breton Templar is to this point (level 13) melee-range only, it's nice to get a ranged attack, but that's just scratching the surface.

1) It's very nice against Undead and Daedra. You'll be seeing a lot of both. Knockdown is quite useful.

2) Damage is decent no matter what you're fighting.

3) At 5% chance you won't see it a lot obviously, but when it goes off, that huge bonus damage is jaw-dropping. I've seen it go off twice, against an Imp and a Zombie. Both instant-kills, and the Zombie simply exploded into ash. Holy crap.

4) The animation looks really sweet. You whip out a hand crossbow.

Definitely my favorite attack so far. I use it every fight against everything, while running into melee. I haven't morphed it yet, the grab-and-yank one sounds more everyday useful, but the added AoE sounds really nice during a Dark Anchor.

Tbh..they are a little different & take some getting used to.

Its really hard to choose a favourite, because they all have some very good uses.

While not a single skill, I have really enjoyed the Stonefist and Uppercut skills used in combination by Dragonknight players. For run of the mill enemies and creatures, this combo usually results in death or close to it. A regular swing of the weapon is enough to clean up any of them that survive that one-two punch.

I'm not sure what it's called but it's that chain that pulls guys towards me. I remember using it to grab cowardly stragglers attempting to retreat after a failed attack on my stronghold.

I use to grab people's mobs with it too.

I call it the "gimme" button. :P

I like the look of Sun Fire and Nova skills from the Templar class as well as the ice spells I've seen (destructive touch and impulse I think but I am not sure) during beta.

I thought bows were very efficient but the animations were average at best.

Was enjoying the Destruction staff skills during beta. They're probably my favourite at the moment.
