 * Issue

Needs a slight balance to be useful, especially with ZB and WoH out there.
 * Suggestion

Make it affect all party members within earshot, reduce damage prevented to, increase recharge to 15, decrease duration to , increase energy cost to 10. It would be like a LoD version prot, but only useful for partywide damage and useless against degen.

Discussion

I've been debating some anti spike play here with low duration and low cast. Izzy @  -' 02:26, 28 February 2008 (UTC)


 * We debated lower duration and lower cast on the talk page, but pretty much almost everyone thinks it will make it too brainless to use, as it would just be a fire and forget skill. Antiarchangel 12:31, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Do you even know what lower duration means? It's current form IS fire and forget because of it's long duration.  A shorter duration makes it less fire and forget because you have to actually land it so the damage comes in your shorter timeframe. Pluto 19:29, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Why dont we just rename this skill song of restoration or make song of restoration good again
 * Because monks don't have infinite energy like Paragons do. 76.89.81.150 23:20, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Underused elite.
 * Suggestion

5e, 3/4s cast, 8 recharge. Elite enchantment spell. For 8 seconds, the next time target ally would take damage, that damage is negated and all party members gain that amount of damage as health instead (maximum ) Like a combination of RoF and LoD: it negates damage like RoF does but it doesn't surpass LoD because the amount of healing is conditional (you can heal 100, but also 15). 3/4 cast to make it balanced (not slow but it can still be interrupted, this must be used like an active prot, so 1s cast will make it underpowered. And a party heal cant be 1/4 for obvious reasons)

One of the worst monk elites ever.
 * Suggestion

Reduce casting time to 1/4. Increase damage prevented to, decrease duration to 5. It would make it useful against spikes...

Lancy's Proposal

 * Issue
 * -One word. Terrible.


 * Suggestion
 * - - (Protection Prayers) - Elite Enchantment Spell. "For 5 seconds, target ally absorbs the next  damage and cannot be interrupted."
