It had its day on smite monks. Esp when it reduced cost to 0. --BlueNovember 22:45, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
this skill isnt good at all-90.227.105.24 22:56, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
I like it because it makes the healing spell Patient Spirit practically free, let alone the spammable Protection spells like Reversal of Fortune, nice for some dervish builds too. And since this is cheap and 8 second recharge, you don't have to feel the pain of somebody casting Shield of Regeneration for a lot of energy and having it immediately stripped.

Love this skill, it offers wonderful energy management for lots of people. Throw it on a dervish and their energy pool will love you. Carry it as a support class, and the other monk's energy pools will love you. Hell, this baby lasts its recharge, so you could renew it for 1 energy a pop. You can even go Boon Prot with this.

Just to elaborate the old smite/snare build using this in gvg was pretty much bunny thumper, air of enchant, kd, balth aura, rof with zealots fire on, explodeComfortOsprey 03:53, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Why did it had its days? I use it and rarely run out of energy. Especially with Castigation Signet. Noctarch 23:21, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

"enchantments cast on target other ally"[edit]

does this mean enchnatments YOU cast on them or ANYONE casts on them? the wording seems to make it seem like anyone casting enchants on them gains this effect.74.186.169.130 17:29, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Dude, this skills description is the most complicated one imo. It means, You cast Air of enchantment on Target other Ally, any enchantments cast on that target costs less. So, yeah any enchants cast on him are reduced. Halogod35 21:34, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
What about self-enchantments? Like if I cast this on a dervish, will that dervish's self-enchantments and flash enchantments have reduced energy cost? --Supernick530 16:25, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

"serenity"[edit]

Prefer that name to Air of Enchantment tbh... --86.154.6.204 20:51, 6 April 2008 (UTC)


Concise description[edit]

Concise description misses doesn't say that it can only be used on target other ally. but the normal description does. Can anyone comfirm wich is correct and add an anormaly to the the article about the other ?

Reference to Firefly[edit]

Very disputable: Serenity is a common word. I'd be careful with stating reference to Firefly untill confirmation. --User Karasu sig.png Karasu (talk) 12:37, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Jayne is the name of a character on the show, and his hammer drop, Vera, is the name of said character's favorite gun. Trust me; it's a reference. --Jette 13:01, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
Unless confirmed by a Dev, I would agree with Karasu. But regardless of what it WAS called, it is called Air of Enchantment now, so any trivia from the Serenity name is irrelevant. Otherwise every skill that had any name change gets stuck with notes from its original name and its new one. Guildwarsrunner 18:15, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Interesting Skill Behavior[edit]

Went and did some testing in GToB. Reached some conclusions:

  • Air of Enchant reduces the energy cast of self-targetting enchantments. I used it on an Elementalist hero and a Dervish hero; their self-targetting enchantments saw a reduced energy cost. I didn't think the skill would work that way; figured only enchantments that could target an ally would see a cost reduction.
  • Enchantments that affect all party members, like Aegis, also see an energy cost reduction so long as the person casting them is under the effects of Air of Enchantment.

There's probably some more stuff to test. 73.148.97.93 19:00, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

I don't know how to explain this concisely, but if you cast Air of Enchantment on an Elementalist and he then uses a doublecast skill on an ally, the energy cost of that skill will not be reduced even though the Elementalist ends up being enchanted himself. However, if you cast Air of Enchantment on an ally and an Elementalist then uses a doublecast skill on that same ally, the energy cost of the doublecast skill will be reduced, as is expected. 73.148.97.93 19:13, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
