Revision as of 17:17, 9 February 2018
The following trainable spells are made fully or mostly redundant by concoction potions similar easily-obtained alternatives, or have been neglected by developers. These powers should not be trained on any character build.
This list is maintained alongside patches and can be used as a reliable source of character building advice.
Class
Assassin
- Summon Darkspawn: A Pet power. Since pets disappear when a player uses invisibility, this spell serves no purpose on a class whose abilities are centered around invisibility. Furthermore, the damage the pet causes is trivial at best.
- Slayer's Focus should only be trained to PR-1: The only difference between PR-1 and PR-40 is duration. That difference is only 80 seconds. Since this buff can be refreshed while stealthed, no serious Assassin places more than one point into it.
Channeler
- All Pet powers (Weave of the Gnome, Weave of the Salamander, Weave of the Sylph, Weave of theUndine): Apart from being functionally identical, these pets suffer from poor damage that does not synergize in any way with a Channeneler's class. They have some utility as an AoE target source, but this only requires a single training point.
Confessor
- Convert the Shadow: All charm powers do not function at this time due to a bug. Furthermore, this power suffers from the same weaknesses as other Pet powers, with the added disadvantage of needing to find a living mob ahead of time. A charmed pet cannot accompany a player who has been summoned or who travels through a Runegate.
Doomsayer
- Class heal powers (Touch of Chaos and Bounty of Chaos): These spells are inferior in every way to heal spells granted by the Healer base class.
Druid
- Talons of the Beast: Druids are not recommended to use any form of melee damage.
- Serpent's Boon: Druids are not recommended to use any form of meele damage. Furthermore, this spell is made nigh completely redundant by concoction potions.
Discipline
