By underrated I mean two things:
Either A: Skills that, obviously, are very powerful but hardly used.
or B: Skills that are so seldom used you never even knew/forgot that they even existed.
For me, it'd be this skill:

I've never seen this skill used, and have never seen it before until today when just clicking random article on the Wiki. Seems like a pretty darn powerful skill to me, especially against other Dervishes.
What are, in your opinion, the most underrated skills?

The no attribute assassin signet that removes enchantments per hex - OMG it can remove spell proof enchantments if your target was pre hexed! I still need to try it.
And phoenix. Everyone says its a nub skill but its a fireball and flame burst rolled into one spell.
I have some really good ether prism builds. One I like is conjure phantasm and nightmare with mantra of persistance, gole, ether prism, energy blast and aura of res. 10+1+1 ES, 12 illusion, 8 inspiration. Cover the whole enemy team with non stop degen! Also you can try it with clumsiness and wandering eye, but the degen is better pressure plus the powerful energy blast spike.

Vow of Strength, most people think it sucks because you can’t use any attack skills( so no constant condition output through the use of attacking skills). But with the ~45% damage bonus each of your hit hits ~60 and you can employ the use of enchantments and stances.(Mirage cloak, heart of holy flame, heart of fury ....etc.)

I have yet to see one other person use [skill]marksman's wager[/skill]
Epidemic is used a lot in BHA builds but i'm surprised it's not more widely used. I can imagine it not being used massively in PvP but in PvE it could be very powerful. You stack a load of conditions on a target like weakness/blind/cracked armour from an air ele, poison/dazed/cripple from a ranger, bleeding/DW/cripple from a warrior, poison/bleeding from a sin, etc... and then with a bit of timing a caster at the back of the group could transfer those conditions to several other foes. It'd take a bit of practice but it'd be pretty powerful if you pulled it off.
I used it in the ascalon missions in HM where there's lots of melee to spread blind/weakness around. Helped massively.
