Are most oskills just rubbish or do you have to build for them specifically.

For example,

Herfjotur

Herfjotur
Amazon Javelins
'BerOrt'
Runeword Level: 78
Ring Of Flames Gains +1% Total Damage per Character Level
5% Chance to cast level 1 Timefield on Kill
2% Chance to cast level 19 Ring of Flames on Striking
+(1 to 2) to Amazon Skill Levels
+(60 to 80) to Maximum Damage
+(15 to 20)% to Fire Spell Damage
-(25 to 30)% to Enemy Fire Resistance
+(141 to 171)% Enhanced Damage
(3 to 5)% Chance of Crushing Blow
Slow Target 25%
+(40 to 60) to Energy
Lightning Resist +30%

, Maelstrom. It's 25% of weapon damage and it does a good job chipping away at the enemy, albeit very slowly. I noticed that in older guides there were a few builds which are based on oskills, but looking at most of them which are 25% of weapon damage... I can't feel very optimistic.

Is it just a gap in my knowledge or were oskills nerfed significantly between then and now? I'm just 2+ weeks into the game.
