Im gonna make a UA and i wanted to know what the best is. And by best i mean who benefits the most from the skill. Im kinda leaning toward a warrior but are ua warriors any good?

The damage it does is pathetic. I only do high damage with it because my range is high. That doesn't make it worth using though.
It doesn't stack with Poison Mist when mobbing, so it's only viable in a 1v1 situation.
It takes forever to cast. You could fire off 2-3 Paralyzes in the time it takes to cast, and the tiny amount of DoT it will do will nowhere compare to 2-3 Paralyzes.
Think of it as another Meteor Shower. Meteor Shower's DoT is great, yes, but it takes FOREVER to cast and leaves your character vulnerable.
The skill sucks. It's not worth having. I never use it.
Prove me wrong.

Vampire is the only UA Skill worth having and worth using.

Either thief WILL still use the cygnus skill. That vampire skill it totes Ma Gotes worth it. Healing+Thief is just awesome

Flame Gear sucks. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

@PermaGypsy: then you must not do higher end bosses or you've never seen @green4ever damage with Flamegear on. Like @xkillo34 said, you use it to kill PB statues, to heal and to KB bosses as well, for shadowers, to proc pickpocket (I'm talking about Vampire).

@business Irena's wind piercing is not a drain skill, sadly. If it were, it may be a beneficial skill to gain for archers.

I think its only worth doing for Thieves and mages. Is the bowman an drain skill?

@x1mmortality: Well, from my personal experience and what other UAs I see, they're rarely used.

@permagypsy that's not true. All 4th job thieves and Mages (mainly, F/P) use their skills. Ekhart's vampire for drain at places with potion cooldown and Oz's flamegear for more DoT damage. So, take your pick out of those 3 classes: NLs, Shadowers and F/Ps. Some DBs even do the Empress Might questline just to get Vampire for Empress.

Make what UA you want. After 3rd job, you will rarely use the Cygnus skill anyway.
