Most useless skill?

Archived from groups: alt.games.diablo2 (More info?)

Hi...

Im half asleep as I didnt sleep last night and just wondering what you lot
think is the most useless skill in Diablo2.

I want to make a new character and am thinking as a challenge to base it
around one of the most useless skills a character can have... now I open the
floor to discuss what you lot view as the most useless skills

That's easy - telekinesis.
But how would you build a character around it is beyond me...

I use TK all the time for opening chests, stash, picking up items, getting
to wp quicker on mf runs, stunning immune enemies against a wall so merc
wont get hurt by them... and probably for more things. Id say its one of the
must haves for any sorc (other than just hte fact that its a prereq for
teleport)

peace,

I'd say the Necromancer curse Weaken.

Psychic hammer is quite fun both Pvm and PvP if you totally
twink it .I think it stops being of any use once you get to the
last few of Baals minions on normal(heal faster than you can
damage).Basically you need lots of mana,+skill and cast rate
which arent to hard to get if your on ladder.

Finally someone else mentioned it. I was going to put it in as well, no
damage, and not near enough subtraction to make it worthwhile to use. I
never put more than one point in it and never use it at all. If you have a
rogue merc, it gets cast more than you need that way.

Although I have used Teeth to thin out a crowd before running in with a
bone necro I'd never put more than one point in it.

Sad but true.

I thought it was Polearm Mastery that the Barbarian's worst mastery...

I'd always put one point in it, if only for the extra light.

Solar Creeper can be useful if you're a Werewolf/Werebear with good life
regen or leech.

Probably better in SC for corpse recovery.

Probably Psychic Hammer, though it sometimes can be handy in a crowd.

I think that was Infravision from D1. It made them glow red.

Really? I used a guided/freezing/imolation bowazon for ages. I'd also have
a points in piercing, so I could freeze a group, fire the imolation arrow,
and
go back to the guided arrows.

How does the damage with imolation compare with exploding arrows?
Does imolation give the same exploding effect? (I assumed it does).
This is based on 1.09 btw, only just started playing with 1.10.
I'm a bit behind the times

Vu.
