What is your favourite Median XL discontinued character skill/ability/spell ?

Top 5

#5 - Arcane Fury

This sorc buff was crazy, it gave mana regeneration allowing you to spam any spell, and great run/walk speed which is always lovable.

#4 - Pact of Blood

This awesome amazon spell would give you an insane amount of life when struck. It wasn't quite the same as holy armor and such, unless you were on uberquests that were based purely on physical damage. Tran athulua anyone? You could farm it with naked amazon. Also sick body recovery.

#3 - Liche Form

This spell was great when we had it on necro tree. I must have made over 20 builds that used this skill in many different ways. One of them was demonstorm SU bow with fire cannonade on kill. You could make funcitonal farming builds thanks to liche form with really no gear at all. Liche immortality and insane damage would give you the initial push to start proc-chain and get tons of reanimates. Also necro shadows always made spells from necro really great. [video]

#2 - Maelstrom MkII

This was OP as hell. Before ultimative creed set was super easy to get, and this would be the most cost efficient build in median (imo). After pouncesin death, this skill managed to keep assassins at the top. Eventually it was replaced by Maelstrom MkIII and MkIV versions which sucked balls. [video]

#1 - Diseased Cattle

Cows that fart poison. Period.

Edit: special mention to sorc's Illumination passive. I used it on all my sorcs. Op.

circle of life on all druids, not just treewarden

Before Shaman Barb got reworked, I had over 50 defender spirits with 50k health/ damage. I would just telesplode things. Fun times.

I liked it when Barb Guardian spirits used to follow you around and have Stampede-on-kill death proc. I made a silly build out of that where I had 1 pointer Guardian spirits and Runemaster uberskill instead of the Summoner one and I'd walk around summoning spirits and they'd immediately die and stun half the screen. And if you summoned them behind you they'd live for a second - enough time to pick up your stance damage and add that to their death procs.

Old Merkabreh, where it dealt weapon damage and could hit stuff several screens wide. Good ol lazy Paladin.

Also Unholy Prayer, channeling it made you invincible. With enough mana regen,you could stack when struck procs for the cheapest farmer ever.
