• Issue:

Old static Armor Rating was strong for non-elite.

Please allow scaling to reward for 15+ specialization.

• Suggestion:

Change Functionality to:

• Protective Was Kaolai -

10 1 15 - (Restoration Magic) - Item Spell. "Hold Kaolai's ashes for up to 15...51...60 seconds. While you hold his ashes, you have +5...21...25 armor. When you drop his ashes, all party members are healed for 10...70...85.

• Protective Was Kaolai -

10 1 15 - (Restoration Magic) - Item Spell. "Hold Kaolai's ashes for up to 15...51...60 seconds. While you hold his ashes, party members in the area have +10 armor if holding a bundle item. When you drop his ashes, all party members are healed for 10...70...85.

Issue

The last couple of changes were beneficial to PvP gameplay but have severely crippled the efficiency of Ritualist healers in PvE. The skill used to be a key spell when playing in elite areas but now both cripples you when carrying the ashes (the armor bonus is negligable compared to equipment bonuses) as well as takes too long to recharge to be used often enough in the midst of battle.

Suggestion

Split the skill and revert the PvE variant to one of its previous states.
