Sharks is air castable which adds mobility with significantly more range than dragon strike and a slightly faster cast time making it a significantly better choice for charging energy in any situation where DPS isn't a necessity. (while grouping mobs, hitting above platforms, hitting something far away, etc etc)
Gears adds DoT which triggers that one skill which adds more damage than just the DoT tick. (not 100% on that one, don't know mages too well)
Wind pierce is leagues better to use than inferno because splash sucks d'ick for spread out mobs and the vertical range is nice. Especially if the healing property carries over to the UA version, but i don't think it will. [MENTION=8017]CrazyForDex[/MENTION] will vouch for me on it's usefulness.
Thieves is obvious. Healing is ALWAYS something valuable if it isn't otherwise possible. 90%+ miss rate or not.
The skills either can't be replaced or are replaced by something that is really s'hitty in comparison (dragon strike).
I can attest for this man's words. I have 2 different UAs, a UA Paladin and a UA archer. Soul Driver is amazing for crusader and white knight, DK has dragon fury but still good regardless. Pierce is exactly as takebacker said.
UA is definitely worth the investment, I would say. The inventory shortage does bug the pineapple out of me though.
