Do heroes use this skill effectively? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Samcobra (talk).

Define "effectively". If you are using this it should be the only heal skill on your bar. - User HeWhoIsPale sig.PNG HeWhoIsPale 20:18, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
As in, I've noticed that they don't use the skill at all. Of course it is the only healing skill on their bar. However, I heard that the hero AI didn't use Gift. Please confirm/deny Samcobra 00:37, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

The majority of players probably already know about this, but just to clear this up a few players in game ask why to use this skill on a protection bar when it will disable it for another six seconds while actually this skill will not be disable for another six seconds just; your other healing prayer skills will (just throwing that in for those who haven't notice or did not understand the wording of this skill).William Wallace 21:56, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

I understood the skill perfectly by reading it...you managed to confuse me. =P 71.127.159.233 00:28, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Heroes can't use this skill[edit]

Tried it on my Tahlk. She never touches it. 122.106.48.7 10:35, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

I realize this note is pretty old but heroes do use this effectively now. I have it set on Ogden and he uses it very regularly. Pjwned 17:25, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Notes[edit]

There is currently a discussion about whether the note about whether this skill is: "An effective heal with low attribute points in Healing Prayers. Often seen as a heal in Protection Prayers monk builds." I think it should stay because it does heal for a fair amount (96+df @ 9 healing). --JonTheMon 14:45, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Patient Spirit; 84+df(@9) spammable 5e heal that can't be interrupted. Asides from that, in the current meta prots are way more important then heals. That's why you always see healers bringing prots and never see prots briging heals. 217.120.229.47 14:52, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
If they're going prot, they won't be spamming heal spells. So, you'd want healing efficiency. And while we list things that happen in the meta, that shouldn't be the end-all-be-all for skill combinations. --JonTheMon 15:00, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
The note under discussion does not specify usage (i.e., "in the current meta" or in any certain format). What it claims is correct, as it is "*An effective heal with low attribute points in Healing Prayers" in terms of energy/healing relative to other monk options. Your comment that "in the current meta prots are more important than heals" is ridiculous. First, the primacy of prot isn't really a meta trend, as it has almost always been that way. Secondly, healing up damage received is just as vital to ensuring that ones team doesn't die as is attempting to prevent that damage from being received. The only thing I do agree with you on is that you don't see this skill much anymore in any competitive formats; however that is not what the note you deleted refers to.

k, then scrap my part about prots because that wasn't relevant at all ;o But you Should Add that note on different pages aswell then. 20:38, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

UA + This = Good[edit]

Is it worth noting that using this and Unyielding Aura can result in 200 health heals? It's almost as powerful as WoH. Lolwho 02:49, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

No, because you can say that about many healing skills, and there's nothing that make THIS one more suited for use with UA.95.144.125.105 19:54, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
About that, using Aura_of_Faith with Dismiss_Condition is a better idea, 200hp heals, condition removal, all for 10e total isn't that bad. Harrier C. Goodman talk 22:39, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
Dismiss Condition also benefits from Unyielding Aura. Besides, Aura of Faith can't me maintained, can't be spammed (if you want to jump between targets) and doesn't provide res either. --Teisei 「ページ」 「会話」 07:21, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
But AoF can save a target from a spike, and it can do it for four seconds straight for only 5 energy, which UA can't do. 172.58.228.95 04:51, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
