Don Knowall's Discussion

What's the problem with this being in Channeling Magic? You get access to Bloodsong and energy management such as Essence Strike or Signet of Spirits/Offering of Spirit if you've got a free elite. Sure, you can't go in to Restoration for a self heal, but this skill opens synergy between the two attributes. I like it the way it is. RitualDoll 09:04, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Don, for the record, Painful Bond was never in Channeling Magic (at least not since the release of Factions). -- Gordon Ecker 02:36, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

You mean communing, I guess? -- NUKLEAR ^IIV 08:40, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, Communing, it's been in Channeling Magic at least as far back as the Factions release. -- Gordon Ecker 05:20, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

So we can all agree there are no issues. This hex is ownage in PvE, and current setup prevents abuse when used with 3 or more spirits. A key skill that gives Rits armor ignoring spiking ability. (Can we say Squad Automatic Weapon?) --Falconeye 04:59, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Akirai's Discussion

See Yullive's Restoration Suggestion & PvXwiki's Mobile Spirits. Average 1,000 damage per 5 seconds, nearly half due to Painful Bond. --Falconeye 06:44, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
