Mantra of distortion - not too great, without skills that replenish energy when you parry/your opponent attacks. Gets bumped up to "Nice skill", if you have them.
The elemental mantras - too situational for my taste.
Quote:Elemenalists: All those Earth magic armors and +block attack auras. Whirlwind, which knocks down attackers. Gale, the sit your arse down skill. Signets that reduce energy cost. Very neat stuff.
Don't forget Ward Against Melee. 50% miss rate for enemy warriors in the area. Ward against Elements is nice too.
Quote:Necro: Necro teleport. Well of Power. Bunch of slow / cripple enemy curses.
Haven't seen the teleportation spells put to that great of a use - a bit too situational (You need to have an unexploited corpse, it needs to be in the right place, etc, etc.) And, well, situational skill = probably there's a better alternative for a slot.
Let me also give props to Mark of Pain and Rend Enchantments. Don't leave home without them, kids.
