Go head and list useless skills, debate if they really are useless, and tell us why!

Useless is defined as being or little or no use outside of arena such as:
-Spawn
*Power cost for an easy slayable
*Tracks with no way to tell him not to

-RaiseDead
*Manse guard and room holding is about their only use
*These also seem to track so you cant use them as aide in a room

-Ablution
*Tiny boost for 2p, I forsaw this one early
*I am aware of the power burn argument (using power while linking)

-Lustration
*Same as above

-Encipher
*Yay I code what I read so only my spec can read them! But wait.. people dont take readable things from you anyway.

-Bumblebee
*As a sphere its effect is dismal (planning to change)

-Spider
*Same as above (planning to change)

-Ent skills before Archangel/Archdemon
*Once you have the highest level of the critter the rest become useless (no current suggestions given to change this without being too powerful)

-Princess tarot
*Stopped by being prone among other things
*Too high a power cost

-Warrior tarot
*Just adds spam, the damage is trifle

-Judge tarot
*Gives a single affliction, instantly cured

-Hod
*Not worth its cost


The hope is to make some of the skills more widely known and why they arent used.

Nightvision

Not sure if novice skills really count!

CellAdjustment- Ok not useless. just not really useful in the grand scheme of psymet... (Arguments will ensue)

Mindfield-Yeah, 300 damage when someone from the same plane scrys you...

Shift- Oh pass through crappy doors no one uses.

ForcedSymmetry- Not really useful... looks useful... just makes getting owned by warriors easier.

Weathersight is the one where you can see in the blizzard right? How's that useless? Blizzards make finding things unfun.

When was the last time you saw a blizzard? I probably ran into like 6 ever, 3 in Shallach and 3 in Shallamurine.

Do you never go to the mountains? Or the highways?

Mindfield is fun to mess with scrywhores like Munsia

Nejii hides in his tree.

I don't remember ever having seen a blizzard on the highway.

This one is good. You can pass through stonewalls instantly. Good stuff.

weathersight is very useful for those people that actually go places Get out of your tree, Nejii! See the world!

I have. But even more so in the mountains. In fact, fairly recently and I said to myself, "Self, it sure would be nice to have that Weathersight right about now." Then I had to give up and leave the mountains because I got annoyed.

There have been times I've had to navigate the mountains blind because of blizzards

Stonewalls always blocked me, icewalls were not a problem though.

Crowform.

Transcendant skill.

Yippee!

Yeah I have an alt that played with crowform... very unimpressive... it is less good then stag, and a little more annoying to put up.

The irony in that longnight was given to the forest that doesn't have an army of novices.

If you or Xavius didnt say crowform I woulda been shcoked...

You failed to explain -WHY- its bad.

Reasons people reasons..

Nightsight cause it has no use umm.. anywhere.
