Never will understand why this skill isn't used more...its pretty much the ulimate survival skill (save a monk) for random pvp like RA and FA..--Ryudo 19:16, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
- I've had this discussion with you before. Because damage is good. Lord of all tyria 19:17, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
- Damage is indeed good. But absorbing damage in FA is even better (when your kurz)--Ryudo 19:18, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
- Because there are good alternatives (natural healing, shadow refuge, troll unguent, healing signet) which allow you to keep your elite slot. I can't justify spending my elite on a defensive skill when there are powerful offensive skills like moebius strike, dragon slash, avatar of melandru, burning arrow etc. — Skuld 19:21, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
- Depending on the way you look at it, this will give you more damage. For one, under most circumstances you deal more damage alive than dead, and this can help keep you alive by decreasing the degen from hexes and conditions. Secondly, it gives you energy regen, which you can use to fuel more attacks/spells. It's conditional though, and can be removed by attacks like Wild Blow. - Elder Angelus 20:38, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- It's useless for a monk in PvP because your foes will stop applying conditions and hexes to you. Since you are forced to use Divine Boon to provide sufficient healing output no matter what, you will usually either run out of energy very fast or fail to heal your team (while not maintaining DB). But there is a small renaissance of this skill, I've seen many Assassins and Warriors carry this skill with some success during the last months. --Xer 21:48, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

On a side note, doesn't it look like the guy has a huge freaken magnet behind his back? - Byakko

[edit] Love this skill.
I run a R/A in the RA that uses Pioson bleeding, sprints and daggers for degen and bursts of damage. I remember bringing along this skill eacuse at the time I didn't have any other elites worth bringing along. Well I'm gald I did because now I bring it all the time. I previously found myself jumping in and out of combat to let my energy regenerate or to use troll unguent to heal. It's a rare fight in RA I don't find myself targeted by either a hex or a condition, and with this up they can generaly be more of a help then a hinderance. Against condition, hexing builds I have limitless energy and thanks to the small recharges on my dagger skills can pour out that energy into masses of spike damage.
