What's your favorite combat skill?

And why?

Mine is Monk's The Forbidden Chakra. I can't explain why. I just straight-up like it.

Aetherial Manipulation.

Or, does it have to be one that deals damage?

It counts. As long as it's not a passive skill, it counts.

Rescue!

It feels incredibly rewarding to manage to save someone at the last second

Dancing Edge.
RIP 2014-2017.

i really like spamming Abyssal Drain.

i am in love with that annoying sound effect, i like the animation and the selfheal in big pulls is just awesome. the fact it's an ranged aoe on a melee job is just icing on the cake ^^

In terms of animation I think the monk kicks are pretty sweet. Dragon kick and tornado kick.

Just a shame tornado kick isn't actually that usefully cos I think it looks cool.

As a Samurai, using Midare is extremely satisfying. As long as it's used properly and not just by doing 1-2-3 rotations.

What's the dragon action that applies the DoT. The one with the sakura peddles that is a pretty skill.

Also Gravity and Holy are two very impressive and visually stimulating skills.

Chaos Thrust.

Fire IV / Firaja.

And fell cleave because I like having two, screw the rules.

Akh Morn. Just so satisfying seeing that massive dragon with me unleashing that beautiful column of light.

Passage of Arms. It is perhaps the most beautiful defensive skill of all time.

Oh ruin 3 is also extremely pretty, smn in general is a really well done job visually. Deathflare as well.

Circle of Scorn or the Chakra move Monk has. I also enjoy Salt of the Earth.

Simian Thrash from 1.0 :(

Assize, best skill in the game.

Fell Cleave

Vermilion Scourge, because I'm a massive jerk and like watching blinded people run off of platforms.

Fell cleave

Firaja (or FIRE IV if you play the troll version of XIV) and Flare.

I love getting to Summon Bahamut and have him wreak havoc alongside me for a bit. It's immensely satisfying.

Flamethrower just for the animation.

Heated Slug Shot for looks.

Earthly Star for fun / use.

I'll have to go with Benediction.

Plenary Indulgence.

Vengeance is extremely satisfying to use, helps that its effect is just as good as its look.

The RDM Holy, after the very fun Black and White mana using melee rotation. :D

Gods that LB is blinding, but so satisfying to use.

Kasha,Higanbana just smooth

Iron Jaws for Bard... Going back to SCH was pretty painful after getting spoiled by that amazing ability. :<

Monk's Howling Fist. The animation <3 <3

Nastrond is very satisfying to use and I love the sound.

PASSAGE OF ARMS

So useless and yet so beautiful...

Others: Circle of Scorn, Fell Cleave

BRD's Wide Volley, I miss it. Wish it would be replaced with the one aoe move we have left (Quick Knock) instead. The animation i mean you can keep the same potency. It felt so satisfying to spam it

Bloodspiller looks and sounds awesome.

Definitely Inner Release because of the red glowing berserk eyes. That fire aura around you is also a nice touch.

TBH, I love the simplicity of DRG’s basic Jump. Sometimes it’s hard to see what’s going on with other skills with the light show going on. :D

AST's Earthly Star *o* I love seeing the constellations
