Most useless skill ever

I've been looking at the high level skills for some time now, and I'm beginning to get convinced that they're all useless, except for perhaps rejuvenation. So I decided it would be nice to have a second opinion.

Failure Mastery (Going back to prev save files makes this compleatly useless)

when you meet the prequisities you can pick some nice looking critical skills, but you will not see benefits because any monster are toast after crit hit.

I don't die, that's why I went with failure mastery. Dodge / hard hit / Weapon Accuracy are weak, but not useless at all. Merchant and treasure hunter are about money which I have enough of.

I actually really like dodge\weapon accuracy, believe it or not.... a level up in dodge is like 3 levels of normal leveling, WA is like 2 and a half levels, and hard hit is just really bad. They need to scale that better to make it worth taking on its lonesome.... I much rather gain a level then to spend 1 skill point on 1 point of damage.

Out of all those skills (WA, HH, Dodge), dodge is by far the best. Getting a good amount of BC built up can take a lot of time. (But i still do not use them)

Well, the reason I added dodge, weapon accuracy, and hard hit into the mix is because I don't really use skills for them unless I want a high level skill. And, seeing that high level skills are more often useless than not, I don't really see a reason to use them, I guess... My builds seldom reach level 40 before I finish the game off and start a new build all over again. So, I guess all the skill points I get are put into stuff that you can't get through level-ups.
