Actually, a thread with "least favourite TQ skills" might offer just as valuable information...

Favorite Titan Quest skills? Uhh there are many ^^
But I think:
- Lightning Bolt with Chain Lightning (a big BOOM and a real cool effect (and dead enemys xD))
- Sqaull with Obscured Visibillity (usefull against long-ranged enemies and I like this visual effect )
- Core Dweller (a big nice guy how kicks asses. I like it )
- Stone Form (real usefull and a real good idea )
- Trance of Empathy (Enemies how kill them self )
- Trance of Concalescense (real usefull )

throwing knives

cant touch this :P

(they die before they get to me)

Personally I wish they would die where they stand, an instant kill at times, instead of waiting them them to drop; it gets boring. If they were to grab their throat, chest or something and struggle or crumple to the ground, that would be sick.

I liked Phantom Strike and Ancestoral Horn the most. The first was a really cool attack that was effective and fun to do whilst the second could be a great distraction and provided some good mass backup for a bit.

It's strange that nobody mentioned "local brain-wiper" called Spell Breaker + Spell Shock. Pure awesomeness, period. I've regretted hundreds of times that I rolled Ritualist as LAN-party healer instead of Druid, so we don't have dispel when it is desperately needed (Typhon's Thorns, anyone? ;D).

Other than that...
• War Wind with spear - no comments, just *GASP*. Figure skating as it is.
• Rally + Inspiration + Defiance - "my I-WIN button". Nice bit of relief for casters, and mobz start pwning themselves - especially with a little help of...
• ...Study Prey + Flush Out. Refer to first point. "...errr, sorry, is there anyone? [looks at the nearby tree's top] Ah, there you are... "
• Monster Lure. "AAAAAAA!!! GET THEM OFF FROM ME!!!" button.
• Phantom Strike + Dream Stealer. "Now you see me, soon you won't. Oh wait... whom was I talking to?"

And much more.

This is really a great skill and one of my favourites as well.

My List:

-Phantom Strike + mod
-Spell Breaker + mod
-Trance of Wrath
-Deathchill Aura + mods (pure awesome in a Diviner-build)

The horns.

I was a Champion and my friend I played online all the time with was a Conqueror.

Whenever a fight would start, we would sound our horns, and I just loved that ambience... going into battle accompanied by our resounding horns.

[Dominus]

The sound of a battle horn really is evocative eh DevinC, and in this case an iron horn could also do a nice bit of damage to the right enemy.

For me in TQ it was all about passives or synergies, which is why I played Haruspex. Watching enemies die as they struggled to hit me was glorious, as was the old phantom strike and follow-up area attack.

Batter+Rend armor. Why - because it's a short-cooldown low-cost ACTIVE skill for melee classes. I love melee characters, but left-clicking is boring, they need more active skills.
Phantom Strike, Lethal Strike. Same reason as Batter, but i'd prefer less power, but shorter cooldown.

Earth Enchantment/Storm Nimbus. Why - because i like adding magical damage to melee attacks(with skills, not with enchanted weapons).

Psionic Touch+Psionic Burn. Not very effective, but STYLISH. Unleashing a magical blast+DoT with melee attack - yes, please.
