Destroyer is a skill you buy that increases your damage against someone holding a staff, and locks out all elemental schools of magic for you.

Most folks now are going Indestructable which increases your defenses by like 7.0. Since most folks can tell when you're in heavy armor that you're likely to be doing more damage when they have a stick out, they just put the stick away and run. Making Destroyer almost pointless.

That being said, if you're working on a new character Destroyer might be a good way to go, but once you get your masteries up on your weapons then you're gonna be hitting for cap anyway at which poing Indestructable makes more sense.

Either way you're locking out the elemental schools of magic so you'll only use one of these if you're not going to be a spell tosser. However, that doesn't mean you won't use any magic because you will still need Heal Self, Stamina to Health, and Witches Brew so that you can keep yourself alive. Additionaly you will want Mana to Stamina so that you can use all that mana, that you won't get much use of otherwise, to swing your sword and chase folks.
