Guild Wars 2

Some skills just look so fancy, which are your favourites?

Mine are:
Rev’s axe Temporal rift & Puryfying Essence
DH’s Hunter’s Ward.

headbutt and kick

All Ele Overloads, RtL and Phoenix.

Phoenix especially is a beautiful skill.

The most beautiful and satisfying skills I’ve ever experienced in game are those associated with the historical d/d Ele. Unfortunately, it was recognized as a successful build that was fun to play. The nerf bat is the crudest skill in the developers toolkit and the one particularly well suited to removing the twin demons of success and fun.

Embrace the Darkness is pretty flashy. And if it’s traited to add burning it gets flashier. I play a hybrid revenant and always use it. It’s awesome.

Overload air pre-visual nerf.

I want my cloud back

I generally prefer less flashy skills, but the ele dagger air AA is cool.

Well of Eternity, Well of Gravity, Ride the lightning, Phoenix, Phase smash, Phase retreat, Chaos storm (pre-nerf better – though not as much of a nerf as others listed here), Overload air (pre-nerf), Lunar impact, 100 blades, Mass invisibility, Impact strike, Epidemic (pre-nerf), Life transfer, Gravedigger, Soul spiral, lightninb orb, Water Trident, Feeding Frenzy.

Combination of animation, sounds, impact on combat, and just general feel of these is great. To bad Anet often nerfs stuff.

All of them when you have flashy legendary

Overload water isn’t super fancy but watching it channel is so satisfying to me. I like all of the ele skills though!

I swear that’s Final Fantasy XIV, not Guild Wars 2.
