Talk:Ray of Judgment

needs to deal double damage to summoned creatures and have nearby aoe effect, then it might be worth it. --Lou-Saydus 16:02, 15 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeah. The AoE effect should be increased (it is elite after all), and the burning should be applied like Holy Spear's. If one of the foes hit happens to be a summoned creature (even spirit!), all of the foes are set on fire. The damage should be unconditional though. Doubling against summon would just make it more useful for the already kind of pointless bonus it already has (needing to hit undead) RitualDoll 03:09, 2 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Needs a 10 second recharge or somethign close 24.238.94.19 21:17, 19 January 2008 (UTC)


 * This would be a really cool skill if but for a few ever-so minor changes. Nearby effect, burning to ALL undead and not just minions. With those changes, the 15e cost and 30s cooldown would sit fine with me. KrelusDerian 00:37, 16 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Sense this is a ray, if it hit all enemies between you and your target that would completely own :D. Barkingllama 06:07, 25 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Indeed that would be cool. Not sure if the game engine can do that, though. KrelusDerian 17:12, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, it DOES deal double damage against "Summoned creatures", as all undead take double holy damage. I think the conditional effect should be "If a summoned creature is stuck by this spell, all foes suffer from burning for 3-8-9 seconds" or "Recharges 50% faster". At it's current state, severely underpowered. --ChristopherRodrigues 03:28, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
 * No, it doesn't deal double damage to summoned creatures. Undead and animated undead take double damage, animated undead are set on fire, but other summons (Spirits) take regular damage and are not set on fire. And to be honest, this would be a great smiting elite if it just had a little something more... If it did have the Holy Spear effect, or something close to it. "For each Animated Undead struck by Ray of Judgment, all foes struck by Ray of Judgment are set on fire for 1 second." FleshAndFaith 21:59, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

This works awesome for me in alliance battles, still a good smiting skill and if i see any of those pesky MM's i burn the minions. The skill woks just fine if you ask me.Jerry 21:10, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Spirit of Pain > Ray of Judgment.William Wallace 18:27, 17 April 2008 (UTC)


 * This should cost only 10 energy and they should increase the AoE. But in a form like this it is easier to kill a MM's army with Unnatural Signet. Another idea would be to make this deal extra damage for every recharging smiting prayer skill. --Serina 11:33, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Arcane Echo

 * I tried out using Arcane Echo and Ray of Judgment on a bar for a spike with 15 smiteing prayers and Divine favor and inspiration for En management and it works pretty good in PvE, i need to try it in PvP still.

If there were any summoned creatures in range, deal an extra  Holy damage.  (The animation is a very big, massive, phat, uber cool, ray of light.)
 * Ray of Judgement. Elite Spell . All foes within Earshot take Holy damage and lose all energy; and all allies within earshot gain, or if dead are resurected with, % of their maxinum health and % of their maxinum energy. In addition, you and all allies within Earshot gain a % Morale Boost, are cured of all Exhaustion and receive a Miniature of their choice.

This is the best i can come up with for a ra/competitive mission build (Though Shock+Holy Strike isn't bad either.) Its less horrible than at least 75% of the builds in ra, but that's not saying much.

If you don't have a monk, try to do at least 800 damage before you die. It's fairly doable. (especially if a melee train runs up to you) Its best to try and hit something you know won't be kiting, or is already on fire for some other reason. I've tried Ward vs Melee, CoP, and Glyph of Immolation in the optional slot. All work decent (Ward + other monk in RA is very nice) Ubiquitous 21:54, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * If you're trying for support, I'd drop Judge's and replace with Reversal of Damage. If you're using the optional slot for RoD, drop judge's anyway because it's really bad. Smite Hex or Smite Condition would do you better. --[[Image: User_Ezekial_Riddle_sig.jpg|Talk]] Riddle 06:55, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * First, i'll mention that this is definatly a damage build (though has nice support attributes). I should have put RoD on when i made the skillbar less silly (i also took out veng for res sig :).)  In fact, i'll do it right now.  I will admit, JI works very well in RA, though useless everywhere else.  I was having problems with not enough skills to cast, and that should help.  Suggest 12+x+1 smiting, 6(+1 opt.) df, 11 earth if RoD goes on so it moves your bar up a tad. (more than 12).--Ubiquitous 00:05, 16 December 2008 (UTC)


 * For JQ/FA:  I give you... Echo Ray! CoP and WH are to be used together of course.  For what is basically a capper, it has some healing/cleaning utility too.  Hmm. Arcane Echo may actually be overkill... I'm finding with Ray of Judgment, you can cap a guard post in JQ with just a single cast! Cirian 20:55, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Many skill animations are VERY good, IMO. They're just too quick or not easily seen in the middle of a fight. There is an ongoing project here to document all skill animations, and some are really pretty.

Blades of Steel for example - your Assassin does an awesome backflip, but it's incredibly hard to get a good screenshot of it...and yeah, usually you'd be under IAS anyway, so it's done in like .5 seconds. :\ Being able to adjust the FPS in-game would be a cool feature for screenshot hunters.

this is really storng for a monk a little too strong tbh for a healer based character if useed in conjunction with a snare holy jesus beam disintergrates meh .. and how is this fair compared to the experts dexterity nerf ? ?????????????????????????? HOLY CRAP ONE IS ENOUGH
 * Smite monks are terrible, except in gimmicks. Rangers are godlike, especially in gimmicks.  Buffing bad things is good.  Nerfing OP things is good.  Bad things shouldn't be nerfed because OP things are nerfed.  That's not "fair", it's idiotic.  [[Image:User_Raine_R.gif|19px]]  Raine   - talk

 * Smite monks are terrible. This is a feeling shared by virtually everyone in GW that has any idea of what they're doing.  For the sake of completion, I feel I should explain why they suck, in list form.
 * No conditions
 * No snares
 * No non-elite knockdowns (except bane signet which is riddled with fail anyway)
 * No disruptive capabilities
 * Negligible damage
 * I could go on for quite a while, really, but the point is that unless you're running something retarded (think AoE ZF spammers, SoJ sins, etc.), smiting is pretty useless. I mean, I guess if you could max 3 attributes instead of 1, and you had a lot of extra space on your bar, Castigation Signet and Defender's Zeal might be nice... but mostly it's just crap.  For some reason, though, it works really well in PvE.  Goes to show how great the AI is...  --Jette 17:00, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I for one disagree. Smiting Monks make excellent offensive/deffensive support heroes (especially with skills like Reversal of Damage and high Divine Favor). And yes, I do know what I am doing. 145.94.74.23 11:52, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Anet will continue their stance that because something is used more often, it's OP. This probably is; barely.  Give monks too much ability to do both damage and support their party and you have a problem.  But just because there aren't viable alternatives for monks to deal damage with smiting, doesn't mean that this one is especially OP.  At least, if they do nerf; PvE/PvP split it so monks can smite moar in PvE. 68.51.95.206 04:01, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Meh, this may be a quite good spell (and maybe a little OP), but the fact that most of the rest of Smiting Prayers sucks means that this skill doesn't need a nerf. Going smite is now like taking a risk, you have one or two good skills at the cost of having the rest of your bar suck balls.Crimmastermind 19:55, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Judgment or Judgement?
Either the article's title is a typo or in the skill's description there is a typo. I can't tell, to be honest. - Jair 17:06, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Judgment is the american spelling (which is preferred on this wiki iirc), but neither is wrong. -[[Image:User Auron csig.png]] Auron  17:09, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
 * The 'typo' was in the description - in-game, it's "judgment", so I changed it to that. By the way, we generally only stick to American English when the game uses it explicitly (i.e. in skill descriptions), but for normal article text there's no preference as to whether it's AE or BE; just go along with the other usages on that page. -- [[Image:User Brains12 Spiral.png|18px|]] Brains12 \ talk 17:13, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

 * There is a part of me that pretends I am the aliens in Independence Day with this thing. But only a small part. That said, either this skill, or the npcs in Jade Quarry need to be changed. Before this last change, it took a combo to cap a control point. Now monks can do it with a single skill. I will repeat. MONKS can do it with a single skill. While I appreciate that every class needs some form of offense, This one skill replaces several skills cast by even a Savannah Heat nuker. Worst case, move this more in line with fire nuking and mod some non-elite monk skills to be targeted aoe as well. Guildwarsrunner 20:19, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

I like that shrines turn every few minutes and alot of the times they turn in a matter of seconds. Lots of faction and the map feels more fast paced and active. There will always be a place for heal/prot monks here though and thats all it takes to counter RoJ. 1 heal and oops hes not dead and im at 33% health from dmg they did before droping...--Justice 20:51, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I run a prot monk in JQ, and it really catches the enemies by suprise when you bust out Zealous Benediction instead of RoJ. I can out heal RoJ damage on 3 npcs np with my build, and the caster usually ends up dieing from the npcs.--96.225.153.202 21:09, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The only OP'd thing about this skill and capping is that the AI hasn't been updated to treat it like AoE. Several other things need to be updated with this skill, especially Cantha hard mode which now has dozens of afflicted with this and Enraged Smash.  Way to "balance", my heroes aren't smart enough to kite out of this (If they try they get enraged smashed anyway and can't even heal themselves being on the ground and all), most pug Wammos aren't smart enough to kite out of this (70% of guild wars), and I just don't have enough friends to make an organized party to take on these missions.  The targets of the largest skill buffs all happened to be the afflicted, and now it's all like 8 enemy monks keeping perma-burning up while warriors hit you with enraged smash every 3 seconds and exploding for 150-200 damage every time they die.  Protective Spirit PvE, for 30 seconds ... 60 seconds ... until you map, you take 10% damage from all sources is about the only remedy I can think of.  -_-  It'd still be tough.

Hero/Henchman AI change
Pleeease. I can barely H/H the later ends of factions because the AI doesn't scatter from RoJ. Neither do monsters (which I'm def. not complaining about...) but 8 seconds of burning plus ~200 damage is a bit much for henchies to keep up with. How am I supposed to cap under these conditions? D: Chao 23:09, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I like how they failed to fix this bug for like three updates now.
 * Other than that, unless you're capping in hardmode or something, RoJ is easily dealt with by flagging, proper pulling (to draw out RoJ on moving target), or taking interrupts. It's more a problem in missions like Vizunah Square where you are doing 9001 other things at once and can't deal with it (or it hits certain mission-critical NPCs who don't move out of AoE anyway).

 * It's still doable though. Mass minions and pain inverter is a good idea. --8765 18:55, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I actually stopped taking minions in factions, precisely because RoJ now annihlates them in one cast. Even combining that with Pain Inverter, I end up with a totally helpless squishie frequently, and that's just bad. It is inconvenient to have to manually order heroes to heal Mhenlo/Togo (or for that matter, to have to take a monk/rit hero at all!), but at least in hardmode they are sturdy enough to take it. Sometimes in easymode, for Vizunah, Togo dies before I can reach him because the hench team is stupid... :\ Vili [[Image:User Vili sig.jpg|User talk:Vili]] 09:53, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

 * There is no bug if RoJ is considered to be non-AoE spell - I still think it and hope that's right.
 * It is now an AoE damage over time spell, the AI still recognizes this skill as the version that did one pulse of damage.

 * Look up the wiki's("our" definition) definition of AoE. This spell has exactly the same characteristic as an AoE. The problem is that the A.I. has not been programed to recognize it like that.

If AI can't respond to a situation intelligently, it makes things really stupid and boring. There is a reason that PvE is easy, its because AI is so exploitable.

Psycology
The reason why this is so great in Jade Quarry is because its so great in Jade Quarry. This skill barely kills off an entire shrine if aimed well, thus, with a small amount of healing, such as with karei's healing circle, wouldnt this skill be useless? but since its so great in Jade Quarry, no one heals. Tearh 01:59, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Uh... dealing 480+ damage to 5 people in 5 seconds is pretty hax, tbh. Yeah, you can stop it with Heal Area, in fact sometimes I do that when 98% of the players are running gimmicks (read: ALL THE TIME) with ether prism and other silly skills.  What's worse is, it usually works.  But the reason it's overpowered is because A) JQ is imbalanced as can be, B) NPCs are dumb, and C) players are dumber.  The only thing that works in JQ is damage.  Shutdown, slowdown, interrupts... all worthless.  Shutdown won't make your hauler move, interrupts won't stop the enemy hauler, and slowdowns only do exactly that -- slow down, not stop.  99% of the time JQ is just a huge "hurr damage" fest.  --Jette  [[Image:User_Jette_awesome.png|19px]] 02:48, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * It's sad, but people often don't realize how much of an advantage it is to simply camp a quarry with a defensive build of any sort. You don't need to speed up your carriers at all if you just hold two shrines 24/7. Imho, defensive builds in JQ deserve more credit than people give them. When a single healing monk for example can defend a quarry against 2, 3 or even 4 opponents at once for an extended period of time, your team should be able to simply outgun the other team at all the other quarries or they can harass the enemy carriers and winning should be pretty easy. Interrupts are underrated in JQ as well. I love running my PDrain/Ether Signet healing Mo/Me build. PDrain alone kills the damage of most RoJ monks (surprisingly, not enough people run Mantra of Resolve) and the rest of the bar can easily keep the NPCs alive for quite a long duration.--217.88.62.105 15:16, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * It doesn't appear that anyone is really debating the usefulness of defending shrines. What is being brought up, time and again, is that the skill itself does not follow the game's own mechanics.  Let's make sure we stay on target here, and separate PvP tactics (shrine defense) from core game mechanics (NPC behavior towards AoE DoTs).  This skill is currently broken, and needs to be fixed.  There is no debating that the skill is broken without using terribly faulty logic and grasping at some very tiny straws.  --Mystisteel 14:24, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The skill and it's effects aren't really broken. It's just the AI behaviour. So yeah, we are agreeing here. It needs to be fixed so JQ may finally see more than only 1 elite skill. It's simply not right that a single cast from a single skill can capture a whole quarry.
 * Well, no - I'm afraid you're wrong. If they have an once of coding ability (I'm certain they do), then the NPC doesn't have a list of skills which makes them scatter, the SKILL ITSELF says "Hey, NPCs - in addition to taking this damage and this condition, scatter from me".  The skill is broken.  I appreciate your inquisitive assumptions about how the AI behavior may be broken, but I'm afraid you'd be dead wrong.  There would be WAY too much overhead for each NPC to maintain a list of scatter skills, it is much more sensical (I AM a programmer) to make the skill do it.  So, no - we're not in agreement at all - THE SKILL IS BROKEN.  --Mystisteel 20:40, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Err, dude, if you wanna play the "we disagree even though we completely agree" game, that's fine. Go ahead. But without me please, ok ? I said that the RoJ issue needs to be fixed. And the issue we are talking about is that NPCs don't scatter from it. That is part of the NPC behaviour. If NPCs have a list of AoE skills to scatter from or if the skills themselves tell the NPCs to scatter is completely unimportant here and only interesting from a coding point of view. It is not necessary to know how the NPCs get their commands to discuss and figure out the issue at hand. And you can toss and turn my words around like you want, it doesn't change the fact that I basically said the same thing. The AI doesn't scatter from RoJ and it needs to be fixed. And whether it's the skill code that is broken or some other part of the code doesn't change the meaning behind my words. --217.88.21.117 14:43, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * RoJ itself is pretty bad imho. Which actually might be the reason it hasn't been fixed yet. Fix the AI and it becomes more or less unusable in PvE. It's already pretty useless in PvP except when the AI is involved like in JQ/FA/AB. --217.88.44.162 14:52, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * If you count the burning, it does more damage than Savannah Heat at 16 Fire/Smiting, on a profession that actually has good heals/prots whatever in a line that's already overpowered in gimmicks. Savannah Heat, the skill that does 315 damage in 5 seconds to everything.  And, just in case you missed, this one actually does more.  On a shorter recharge.  That's a problem.  You're absolutely right in that's it's worthless against a human (well... unless you knock-lock them inside or catch them unaware or whatever...), but when NPCs are an important part of the fight, it's batshit.  --Jette  [[Image:User_Jette_awesome.png|19px]] 03:56, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Yeah, RoJ is damage-wise a top skill. Especially against higher armor. But, just like Savannah Heat, the fact that it's an AoE DoT makes it kinda useless against everything that runs out of its area fast enough. Of course you can create circumstances where its full damage is applied, but it's generally just easier to drop something like Invocation followed up by Searing Flames for the same or similiar effect. Often, RoJ and Savannah Heat don't even hit their target once. I don't know how often random monks drop RoJ on running players in JQ for absolutely 0 effect. That's why I said that imho RoJ is a pretty bad skill. However, those AoE DoTs shine against everything that just stands there. And in the case of the AI, RoJ deals its full damage since they just don't scatter, which makes it OP in PvE and in JQ/FA/AB. --217.88.21.117 14:43, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

They arnt changing it because it gives monks a viable second option to heal/proting all the time. If you wanted to run a smite build and still be taken into groups what would your elite be?

 * Smiting is a silly idea in the first place. It doesn't offer anything, as far as i can see. Signets and enchantments that deal damage, and though it harbors many holy damage skills, the elites are all useless, and recharge times make a lot of these skills incomparable to any serious damage dealing skill, in my opinion. Places with heavy reliance on NPCs are practically the only place you see 100% smiting prayer builds being used. Why even try to fix any of the elites if the profession is so sensitive to changes, and if you are, why not focus on stuff that makes a difference? Help some of the other healing prayer elites out, maybe. GoL has a ton of potential, even if no one notices it... Tearh 02:38, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Smiting prayers are strong in PvP because of two things: NPCs are too stupid to move out of RoJ, and heroes use gay skills like smite hex, smite condition, and reversal damage perfectly and instantly. It also ignores armor, which means gay skills like Holy Strike deal more damage than similar skills like Aftershock do.  --Jette  [[Image:User_Jette_awesome.png|19px]] 03:56, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * But on players, there are so many other options that are better. Smite hex is only "better" than remove hex because it deals damage to people next to you... how often does a mesmer get right up next to you. Same with smite condition. The point is, however, the only reason roj is perceived as good is that there is a shortage of healing monks. One good skill out of the entire catagory doesnt make for a good build. With GoL alone, the healing is 2.5x the amount of damage 2 roj beams deal over 11 seconds (140 hps*11(see "Ray's damage over time", above)=2.5*600). Though this would drain significant amount of energy, if there is a 20 second rechargeon their, your energy would be fully recharged by then. Tearh 04:38, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

 * I never said I didn't think it was a problem, did I? The problem is that its used at all, and that it takes valuable monks away from JQ, because they think they can help more by capturing shrines and using dwayna's kiss. And i don't know how often my sin is hexed, but its not very. The only problems i have in JQ with hexes is against shrines, and I don't bother with those. And i'm talking about helping game balance in JQ, as I said before. I don't see how any of my comments could've been aimed at HA, i don't believe they have too many shrines in there, or if they are the problem. I actually took a roj build and a healing build into JQ, and though this can't really be a valid test with skill levels differing so much, I would say that I helped my team more by healing the yellow than using roj on it over and over again. Granted, that was my first time using a roj build, but still, this just shows me even more that healing the shrines helps more than letting them get captured. Tearh 19:32, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Buff smiting, ban heroes from pvp.
 * I agree that Smiting Prayers should be buffed. If certain skills become overpowered in PvP, just split the skill and nerf the PvP version from orbit, just like the 25/90. PvE smiting is what's been crying for help for a long time. --Teisei 「ページ」 「会話」 09:54, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

June update coming soon
Dear A.Net...

Please fix this issue in the coming patch.

Thank you. -.- --217.88.27.91 08:48, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * They don't read most of the wiki. Even if they did, they're not allowed to use any suggestions given on it, legally.  Even then, they don't care, and what's worse, you didn't specify the issue.  Anyone with half a brain could see it deals too much damage to NPCs, but ANet has proven time and again in the past that they don't.  --Jette  [[Image:User_Jette_awesome.png|19px]] 08:50, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Officially fix't. In HM anyway. They only begin to scatter after about 6s in NM, y'know... at halfway through the echo'd Jesus Beam. Haven't seen how friendly AI handles it yet. 118.208.125.214 08:31, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * For normal mode it's ummm... normal that they don't scatter fast. But it's important for HM. Good thing they finally dealt with it. I haven't been able to test it myself yet, but if it works like it should, then JQ and other PvP areas as well as HM will be more fun to play again. --217.88.18.105 09:17, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Still works in JQ almost as good as before :/ The NPCs do scatter now, but a little too late and they bump into each other and still die from 1 RoJ. No change to JQ, sad sad.
 * In addition to JQ, I've taken it into several HM missions now, and there's no sign of any change in NPC behavior. -- Hong 17:03, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

shrine "bug"
Upon a resurrection timer reaching zero, all living henchmen (and heroes) will move to the shrine without any healing, without effect removals, and without losing instance information, such as what they're targeting and what's targeting them. As is the case with shadow stepping, any monsters that were casting on a hero or henchman will complete the cast, at which point the effects of the skill will be applied. This is not a "bug," and it is not specific to RoJ. This is common for all skills with activation times. ~Shard  05:32, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * There was this one time I almost got killed by a terrorweb dryder in hard mode because it cast Meteor Shower on me while I was AFK.

Needs a PvP nerf
This thing is ridiculously overpowered in PvP. One cast will solo cap any shrine in AB/JQ/AW. What really makes it ridiculous is that the monks running it still have access to healing and support skills. A Single Mo/P in JQ can do everything: Solo cap quarries and shrines, hold the quarries and shrines with their heals, and speed up the turtles/juggernauts. It needs to be made as useless as Smiter's Boon. (Japanties 07:59, 25 July 2009 (UTC))
 * I take it you do not have the ability to play RoJ monk yourself? RoJ was Smiter's Booned to begin with, they only buffed it to compensate for that. Paddymew 09:19, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * No, I've actually had to resort to using RoJ monk bars just to keep up in JQ; that's why I want it nerfed. When a single skill dominates all use on every bar in an aspect of PvP simply because of faulty AI programming, something is stupidly wrong. (Japanties 16:40, 28 July 2009 (UTC))
 * what the hell are you talking about? when was roj ever smiter's booned? - Auron 09:56, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I think he means ROJ was about as useful when it debuted as SB is now, which is actually quite accurate. @Japan: RoJ is not overpowered, NPCs are just fucking stupid.  If they would make NPCs flee when it starts shining on them (i.e., take one hit at most, most good players take 0), it would be fine.  But since they don't even have time to fix things that are critically wrong with the game that can be fixed in an extremely easy fashion, like Wail of Doom, they can't be bothered to reprogram the AI to now suck.  With any luck, they'll revert it to it original useless form soon enough.  --Jette  [[Image:User_Jette_awesome.png|19px]] 10:10, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I remember looking at RoJ for the first time and seriously wanting to know what ANet hated so much about monks being able to deal damage. Now they just need to fix the AI so that people can't "sneak" a RoJ in on a cap point. Paddymew 22:27, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I would like to amend my prior post and point out that RoJ is overpowered if all five pulses hit. But so are Savannah Heat and most other AoE spells, really.  Meteor Shower could win games if it didn't get interrupted and/or fled from.  NPCs are dumb.  --Jette  [[Image:User_Jette_awesome.png|19px]] 01:07, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * This doesn't need a nerf. It needs a buff. should be 1e instant cast instant recharge. for 25 seconds this spell does 100 holy damage per second to target, and applies all conditions on this target. /joke post, if you can't tell. 24.233.254.51 01:47, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

 * A temporary fix could be, while waiting for some decent nerf for it, moving the npc's further apart. Especially in JQ where they are so close they all get hit. This would effectively change it so necro bombers cannot bomb shrines ( they usually aim for middle npc but since thier so far apart npc's have better chance to survive a bomb) and would require rojs to take more trips to take out a shrine.The Emmisary 02:24, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Moving NPCs is more work than hitting the "revert" button for the skill, actually. It was useless before, yeah, but it needs to be useless because it's smiting prayers.  --Jette  [[Image:User_Jette_awesome.png|19px]] 02:31, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Monks specced solely for damage should be able to do damage. The problem with balance is monks specced for damage that can also remove conditions, hexes, throw prots around, and heal for a decent amount. If a smite monk wants to be full damage, he should be able to take RoJ and blow stuff up - but GW needs something like this to prevent monks from abusing the healing and prot skills while they do a bunch of damage. - Auron 03:28, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Pretty much, yeah. Same problem with ritualists.  P&H had a mechanic like that, now if only they would put it on all spells.  Of course, that would mean smite monks only get 1 attribute to pick from, but this man did fine with that (imba lolpve skills aside).  --Jette  [[Image:User_Jette_awesome.png|19px]] 03:43, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I think a simpler solution to the RoJ controversy would be making a pve version of it that would essentially keep it as is, and make the PvP version maybe the old version, or hell, something original. Moo Kitty 03:50, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Or maybe something new entirely. But please keep the PvE version as it is. Paddymew 06:23, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * My ranger enjoys all these RoJers v much thank you. There is always a counter, nothing need be 'nerfed'--Tong2 01:13, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Bad reasoning. If there were an instant-kill spell, you can not justify it by saying "Diversion is a counter because it disables the skill." Something needs to change with RoJ, regardless of whether or not counters exist. – Emmett  01:29, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Exactly. Nerfing doesn't happen when a skill becomes uncounterable, it happens when a skill is overused because it is harder to counter than most other skills. Paddymew 05:32, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, Healing Seed with sufficent healing prayers can save an entire quarry if you're just facing a roj :)72.199.117.151 07:32, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Bah, just make it a laser like spell that emminates from you to the target foe and hits anything inbetween. 10e|1sec cast|10sec recharge|25|70|100 dmg. Oh and the ever important: Disables all non-smiting prayer skills for 10seconds. You can still use RoD and divine favor boost, just not skills from that line ;-) Justice 23:24, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Still no update to nerf this for PvP. I was very disappointed to see unnecessary nerfs like Power Block and leaving this cheap, overpowered nuke to continue to lay waste in JQ. Either bump it up to 25e and 30sec recharge or nerf the damage; it's ridiculous. And before anyone re-states counters, remember that Monks are support class, and RoJ alone is 3 times the power of a full AoE Fire/Earth nuker. Xiaquin 20:10, 7 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I can't believe you people actually think RoJ is overpowered. take a few steps to the left or right, can't do that? rupt it-it's got an insane cast time. if your talking about NPC's you're still wrong, since you can wand all but the monk shrine to death if you really wanted, assuming you either have a self heal or brought one with you. That doesn't mean wands are OP. the only way this does half ok damage is if you echo it and stand in two rojs for the entire time. I could care less if it get's nerfed, I just want people to see the counters. Roflmaomgz 21:50, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not players that are the problem, it's the AI. I easily step out of a RoJ. NPCs do not. RoJ needs to be fixed. I run a heavy interrupt mesmer build in JQ to stop RoJ monks cause I know there will always be at least 1. But if they use Mantra of Resolve, they can RoJ away without penalty. There's a problem if one skill on one person can dominate an entire map. You have no idea how many times I see monks suicide past 4-5 players just to get a RoJ off cause they know it will cap or kill most of the NPCs, even if they die.

Post AI fix, Still a massive problem.
So, I didnt sleep all night long, and couldnt think straight, so i decided to not play WoW and instead play GW since i couldnt focus and needed to do something mindless and repetitive, So i hop on my ele and head to JQ. Load up my favorite cap bar, the fire nuker, of course, And i have a grand total of 6 skills on my bar completely devoted to doing damage. when played correctly it caps every time without fail. Monks or no. But after about 5 hours of playing (and only about 4 games actually played) i got really sick and tired of being outshined by a MONK. The ONE class designed SPECIFICALLY for support, has now become a primary, and truely dominant damage dealer in JQ, FA, and AB. (probably not so much AB, i dont know i havent looked recently). Is no one else going "WTF? Monks=Nukers?" This skill needs to be beaten to a bloody pulp with the Nerf Stick. Like now. It is absolutely stupid and fucked up that a monk is doing just as much, if not more damage, than an elementalist, with a SINGLE SKILL. Either fix the AI to move at the first sign of damage from this skill or subtract the burning. Either way this skill should not be able to cap shrines on its own. 71.193.48.146 21:11, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Then don't play JQ. Play FA. It's more fun and 1 Nuke skill from an ele (SH or Sandstorm) can wipe NPC's just as easily as RoJ. That is...if you know how to use them and there aren't bonders around. <font color="Black" face="cambria">Karate [[File:User Karate Jesus KJ for sig.png]] <font color="Black" face="cambria">Jesus  <font face="Arial" color="gray" size="1">21:18, 13 January 2010  (UTC)
 * Of course nukers can still nuke. And you saying "Dont play there cause blah blah blah" doesnt solve the problem that this skill is stupidly broken. Nukers ability to nuke is not being called into question here. Whats being called into question is the fact that it has some how become acceptable for MONKS to be ELEMENTALISTS. this skill is stupidly broken. Btw im kurzick. Not luxon. So your idea bout playing FA is just as bad a suggestion 71.193.48.146 21:23, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
 * JQ has been broken since the day it was put into the game. Tbh, necrobombing is still more effective in JQ than RoJ anyway. Your complaint is a 3 year old problem, and Anet has promised to address it at least 10 times.

Came back after a year out of the game, and this skill still isn't toned down, and the feedback page for it is locked. Sorry for everyone who uses it now, but when you can cap a shrine with ONE SKILL and dedicate the rest of your bar to whatever you feel like, this definitely needs a pvp split with a weaker version.

It may be argued that they should change the AI to scatter from it, but that would most likely alter the AI for all 5-second AoEDoT spells and make for another season of nerfed-nuke complaints, like back when the 55 rose to prominence in PvE. Guildwarsrunner 17:00, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
 * What you're saying is true. One can run JQ with only RoJ in the skill bar (Smiting Prayers 16) while still being very powerful. The rest of the skill bar can be filled with whatever you feel like (heals, running skills, Arcane Echo, or other more or less useful utility skills). The problem isn't in the skill. It's just that the AI in JQ is dumb enough to allow such abuse. The shrines don't have healer NPC's, and the shrine NPC's don't have self heals. In JQ, shrine NPC's usually scatter on 4th tick of RoJ, which is too late, as the fleeing NPC's will still take the 5th tick before they get out of the AOE. Anyway, I love smiting, and I'd like to see a big rework (read: buff) on the Smiting Prayers line. --Teisei 「ページ」 「会話」 23:32, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
 * They're not going to change a skill for only JQ. It's a small part of a single campaign, and not worth trying to rebalance taking in to consideration all campaigns.  Also, if you're bad enough not to bring a single interrupt on your bar (as W,D,A,P,R,Me, primary or secondary) in JQ full well knowing that there's going to be at least 2 RoJ monks on each team, there's something wrong.

RoJ buff actually brought something back to the idea of using smiting monks.. now really other than signet smiters which mesmers do better anyway. Then it was nerfed and HM = we dont want RoJ monks they cause scatter.

I mean it can be used now, evidently i see monks using it in JQ and NM pve. But its just not useful in HM pve unless the foes are snared well or blocked in...
