Given my character has a Pyromancer build, Elite Skills like Searing Flames and Savannah Heat are very useful. Searing Flames in particular is an old favourite - with proper thought for your build, you can spam Searing Flames and chain it with other skills that do extra damage to enemies who are on fire.
