 * no, you ! XD84.192.144.207 09:56, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Pretty much one of the most useless skills in guild wars
 * Not useless but less worthy designed. It would've been better as a weapon spell to buff your Paragon and Warrior team mates. Noctarch 23:56, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

this+incomingx2=2ppl can keep up incoming stead of 4


 * Sogolon only provides 50% prolongation not 100%. Noctarch 18:08, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Sogolon + "For Great Justice!" before Dragon Slashing = win. 68.227.186.157 19:27, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Or just use Enduring Harmony which is better--75.94.77.148 19:29, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

2 things 1. Was Sogolon is not the henchman in the early nightfall campaign, its a hero of older times, he refers to him in his i shall protect you like the sogolon of old times line. 2. This skill does not suck, it can very well be used with save yourselves or other short-duration shoutsfor party protection VALAR
 * So... you cast Vocal was Sogolon in-between your attacks, throw up Save Yourselves, then drop the pot to attack again? Or use some kind of ridiculously bad Rage of the Ntouka build to power out the adrenaline?  There are better things to do with a char slot.  Paragons have no problems powering out Save Yourselves constantly for the whole party, which also fuels their own energy, in addition to other strong defensive or offensive effects.
 * Vocal was Sogolon is a potentially overpowered combo skill that has nothing worth comboing with. MA Anathe 14:46, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Stack?
Can this effect stack with that of Enduring Harmony? &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.248.237.207 (talk) at 16:52, 21 February (UTC).
 * Just tested, it stacks. poke | talk 17:15, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Drop Effect
Needs one, and It might see play with Rt/P Flaggers ...Hex Removal would be nice :) --124.182.221.238 09:40, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Concise description
"Item Spell. For 60 seconds, if you're using Command, you may win. If you're using useless attributes, you are kicked out of the game. You still lose since you can't wield the second most broken weapon in the game. Attribute: Which idiot decided that this should be a ritualist item spell?"
 * This would be nice as a weapon spell. Resonant Weapon  "Weapon Spell.  For 5 seconds, the next Shout or Chant applied to target other ally lasts % longer and Resonant Weapon ends."  --  euphoracle  |  talk  22:45, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * On the other hand, this is still useless... I'll figure this out eventually  --  euphoracle  |  talk  22:50, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Doesn't that do essentially the same thing as Enduring Harmony, but a lot worse? The only redeeming quality that this skill has is that it's party-wide. Green Arrow 13:10, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * What if the weapon spell is on the caster and the effect is party wide? Resonant Weapon  "Weapon Spell.  ( seconds) Shouts and Chants you use last 3% longer for every rank of Spawning Power." --  euphoracle  |  talk  18:20, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Maybe if that changed the attribute to Spawning Power, but then it couldn't be used by paragons. Just remember when trying to change a skill, A-net will not change the skill name or icon. Here's my try:
 * Item Spell. ( seconds.) Shouts and chants you use last twice as long.
 * Acts more like Extend Enchantments this way. Almost useless for adrenal or quick ending shouts and chants. Not sure if this would be overpowered, but it would have very narrow useage. <>Sparky, the Tainted 18:50, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * So maybe... **moved to communing** .  ( seconds) Shouts and chants you use cost % of their adrenal cost in energy or % their energy cost.
 * Numbers might need some tweaking. The idea here is to bypass the adrenal requirement which limits this skill so much and rather than extend durations, let us use shouts before combat starts.  Overpowered?  Maybe a little, but consider that to get the full effect, you have to spec a good amount in both communing (a less useful line than restoration) and the shout/chant attribute.  I can't see secondary Rts abusing this unless they are really bad at GW.  Just throwing out ideas :> --  euphoracle  |  talk  18:56, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm guessing this does, but making sure...
does this work for ranger shouts?I'm guessing it does, but wanna make sure.(and before you say rangers don't have shouts, look in beast mastery.) 24.233.254.51 18:49, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, it does. The only time I have ever used it is to maintain Predatory Bond indefinitely. <>Sparky, the Tainted 19:09, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Offensive Shouts too?
Does this skill increase the length of an offensive shout, like "Finish Him!" or "You're All Alone!"? By increasing the length, I mean does it make the effects of Deep Wound or Cripple given by those shouts last longer? 99.241.34.49 18:54, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think so, because the shout won't be on your target, the condition will. The Hackslasher 14:55, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Despite the lateness, I feel compelled to say that no, it would no increase the conditions. VwS modifies the duration of Shouts and Chants - no member of either of these, when targeting a foe, possess durations also. If ever in doubt, applying your question strictly to the skill description at hand typically will yield a satisfactory answer. 141.165.170.90 16:53, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

One of the worst examples of terrible skill design
This is the most poorly designed skill in the game:


 * A ritualist with only ritualist skills has no use for this skill. Absolutely none. No other skill in the game is as useless to its profession.
 * A primary ritualist must pick one of two possible secondary professions in PvP, three if they want to be a beastmaster Rt/R (lol). In PvE, most PvE-only shouts require being able to attack or don't benefit much from a longer duration.
 * The two professions that use shouts (three counting beastmaster shouts) are dependent on making physical attacks. This skill disables attacking.
 * Really weak effect anyway without heavy attribute investment.

I hope whoever created this skill was fired, or at least not working on GW2. This skill was created in 2007, and it looks like the people creating skills at ANet are a lot better at it now. Hopefully they do an update similar to the dervish update, fixing all the "worst of the worst" skills in the game. --97.94.189.3 03:24, 27 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Don't you mean "best example"? Anyway, I'm not sure why you'd not count beast masters, considering they are the only thing that can actually benefit from this skill, like you said. They can maintain Otyugh's Cry and Predatory Bond with VWS, which is more than a paragon or warrior can do. –~=Ϛρѧякγ User Sparky, the Tainted guided sig.png (τѧιк)  &larr;&hearts;– 04:16, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
 * You can get that from Enduring Harmony with 0 spec. MA Anathe 02:46, 13 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Does this skill extend "By Ural's Hammer!"? If so then it may acually have SOME minor worth to a support ritualist Avatar of Grenth 17:49, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
 * No. See anomalies. User Judas Sig.pngudas 22:09, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
