What is your favorite and least favorite combat CD skill in the game?

[Tranquilmelody7]

Mine both belong to DRK

Favorite: Kind of a tough choice but it's TBN
It's one of the most engaging part's of DRK's their bread and butter to say
Even if can end up a minor DPS loss if it doesn't break it's easily the best single target damage migitation skill in the game
Runners up would be Nascent Flash and Divine
Veil
Least Favorite: Living Dead takes the cake and dies
There's just so much wrong with this skill
Not only is it one of the worst designed CD's in the game, but it's probably my least favorite skill I've ever used in a MMO
Far off but runner up would be 5.0 cover :/

Please discuss

Favorite:
Ninjutsu ; )

Least favorite:
Swift cast...

[Raikai]

Favorite: Auto-crossbow - something about the animation and sound effect makes a very satisfying button to press. I wish that the regular AoE was that instead of Spread Shot, tho. The latter is so underwhelming and even a little weird for a weapon that is clearly not that kind of firearm.

Least favorite: Improvisation - so sad that the big level 80 ability for Dancer has such a limited use. I would expect something that you're very excited to use when it comes off cooldown.

[Esmoire]

Favourite - Forbidden Chakra. Big KAPOW energy.

Least Favourite - Decimate. I hate the animation and how the impact is at the end of the attack. It feels harder to verify your Nascent Flash value.

[Ardeth]

Favorite-Drill. What can I say I like drills.

Least favorite-Standard Step. I'm not a fan of babysitting buffs, but I'm even less of a fan of a buff that doesn't refresh itself. Granted they make it into an attack but still while it has 100% uptime it feels annoying as a player. You have to stop mid combo mid attack to refresh it And considering dancing is fluid it not having a refresh to itself seems rather poor.

Drill.

It's magnificient, it has a nice animation and the design behind it is genius.
You want as much as possible Drills so you need to balance Heat and Drill usage.

Drill is the essence of Machinist.

Least favorite is... Huuuh... Wildfire or Flamethrower...
Flamethrower. It's only used to greed a 100 potency tick on a boss return or AoE.
You press the button, you don't touch anything for 10 seconds. And it's the lv70 Ability, something that often define the job and its rotation.

Take GNB's continuation, War's inner release, Blackest Night, Nastrong, Hissatsu: Guren&Senei...

[Vahlnir]

My favorite would probably be Hissatsu: Senei. It's just so dang satisfying.

My least favorite is probably Superbolide. Don't really like dropping my HP to 1 just in an attempt to survive.

Does better than the insanity of Scholar's 60/70/80 powers. >.>

[Cetek14]

Favourite: Power Slash. Its removed, but was probably the most satisfying skill in the game.
Least favourite: Heated Split Shot, Heated Slug Shot, Heated Clean Shot. Incredible how animations and sound effects can make job less enjoyable by like 75%.

Fave: Earthly Star (AST)
It's multi-function! It's stronk (the heals!)! It's flexible! It's a dome! But most importantly...it's PRETTY!!! Asylum (WHM) and Sacred Soil (SCH) is probably sitting on the same top spot but I picked Earthly Star for their unique use.

Least: Fey Illumination/Dissipation (SCH)
Okay I cheated, it's two. But they are here for same reason: they buff none of my healing abilities!! Just my healing spells, whyyyy?!
