Enemy Skills

[Raistlin]

i used beta to grind on the southern islands on disc 1
i was at 80

Was this when you were trying to save Aerith? I also like to grind around Mideel, too (I assume that's what you're referring too).

As for my favorite one, I liked Aqualung and Trine because they look cool. The one unfortunate thing about E-Skill is that some of them are just plain stupid and/or irrelevant after a time. Examples: Matra Magic, L4 Suicide, Chocobuckle.

There are plenty of crap E Skills, but you never have to actually use them. Trine and Aqualung are also very useful in the first disc, especially if you learn them as early as possible.
