There seems to be, as far as GLA is concerned, many skills that just don't seem worth using. Taking Riot Blade for example, but also other skillls that just don't seem as "useful". Something about the lack of utility of many of them seem to corner you into using maybe 2-3 on your action bar, not including Phalanx of course.

I think there should be more apparent effects for WS in general, something I'm sure they probably have been working on, only have to wait and see.
