10 "Useless" Video Game Skills That Are SECRETLY DEADLY
6. Water Walking - World of Warcraft
Each class in World of Warcraft comes with a set of unique abilities that range from deadly to absolutely gimmicky.
In terms of the Shaman class, the spell Water Walking might seem to belong to the latter category, but with the right preparation and tactics, it can become your greatest weapon against hordes of enemies and nasty gankers trying to kill you in the wild.
Water Walking is a utility spell that allows you to run on any water surface in the game for ten minutes. While at first glance this appears to be nothing but a party trick you can use to impress your friends with your overly accurate Jesus impression, in reality the skill can turn you into the apex predator of every pool of water in the game.
Since swimming underwater is incredibly slow and takes away your ability to cast some abilities (not to mention the breathable air limit), when you can fight submerged enemies while walking on the surface, you basically become invincible and significantly stronger than your opponents.
Knowing this, you can lure land creatures and other players into bodies of water and then cast Water Walking to be able to barrage them with full-strength attacks while they all hopelessly flop around underwater.
