Do Not Train

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.

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.
