> Just curious: > What do you think CF's 5 most under-rated abilities (standard skills, spells, supps, songs, and powers) are? Not necessarily the most powerful, but the ones that just don't get the respect they deserve? My list... 5) Lore. If you are putting serious time into a character, there's no reason not to be spamming this skill. If you have the skill, you probably aren't using mana for much anyway. 4) The Detect evil/good/know alignment line of spells and devices. I don't trust anybody, and that red aura helps remind me not to make myself vulnerable even while grouped. 3) The druid supp Thorn. Can easily allow a druid to outdamage even an invoker of the same level. Most people just ignore this spell and race to sunray though. 2) Control undead on a necromancer. I know I saw one log here recently with some mausoleum vampires, but everybody else seems to think that elite storm zombies are the fashion statement I guess. and #1) Shaman Dispel Magic. Who else can drop spells on both communers and mages? Too many shamans waste their time demonfiring, when they need to be dropping people's protection/stoneskin/aura/etc. Just my opinions, nothing special.
