Talk:Mark of Protection

[edit] Uselessness

This skill is useless. It has an enormous amount of downtime, disables your skills, and has a long cast time that prevents it from being used in the only way that seems to make sense, spike prevention. If this skill was made more on par with skills like Shield of Regeneration or Shield of Deflection, albeit with a longer recharge time, it might be runnable. As long as this cannot be kept on multiple targets and has some downtime (though not nearly what it is now), it would not be completely overpowered (no more so than any other skill actually used). If the duration were lowered to 8 seconds, the recharge brought down to 15~20 seconds, the cost upped to 15, and the blackout effect was removed or at least made much less severe, the skill would be runnable. As it stands now, the only reason anyone would bring this skill is because it is the first monk elite available in the Prophecies Campaign. Elu 19:48, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Edge Bomb!

I can see this kinda-sorta-maybe being useful in a last-resort sort of way in a monk secondary build that doesn't use many protection prayers, but that's still iffy. Tried it on my Rt/Mo, it didn't work. KrelusDerian 02:22, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

It was used in that dark aura/contagion gimmick, which lasted for about a day. But yeah, it's still terrible. -Auron 02:25, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Buff please. Lower recharge time to 25 or 20. That would make for great buff and still not be over powered.

i use it for when they get low health and make it spike up and stay up in higher lvls of PvE. king 21:43, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

If there is a buff, what would happen when Scourge Healing is on the target? Aro 00:17, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

It looks like its intended to be used with a healing prayers build. >.>--Media Control 23:55, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

You know that kinda gave me an idea. xD Like how prot monks use Gift of health.. Halogod35 00:25, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Exactly. Essentially, to me anyway, its a better version of Healing Hands, with a long recharge. --Media Control 01:20, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

same effects of reversal of firtune,OMG! 85.146.249.89

Equip it as a tank in "assault on the stronghold" to make sure the Saurian gets through... Noctarch 21:27, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Wow I bet that works great! That's the exact niche for this skill: cast it on an ally with high health taking a large amount of damage over a short time. The problem is, how often do you have an ally with 2000+ health taking 20 hits per second? --Doodle01 00:26, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

I use this in my shitty excuse for a boonprot build. 66.91.223.207 11:32, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Echo

If you use Arcane Echo before casting this spell, is the echo disabled? --Elijah 13:44, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
