Strength of Honor (skill) - Guild Wars Forums

Hi

I recently changed my Class from D/Mo to D/E since all I was using from the monk was Strength of Honor for some extra damage. D/E has proved more versatile and effective for what i am trying to do. I also figured that I could just get Dunkoro to cast Strength of Honor on me since when I cast it on myself it lasted until it was disenchanted (as you know it has no duration)

To my surprise, it does not work! The enchantment is immediately removed when he casts it on me. Whats going on?

Thanks!

Ahhhh it's because heroes won't keep enchantments on you, therefore you have to disable it with shift+click which stops them from casting/removing it then manually make him cast it on you, should stay on unless disenchanted by foes. Hope this helps

It worked!!

Thanks, how weird that he would remove it?? Where is the sense in that?

Oh well

The AI reasoning "Target isn't attacking I'm wasting energy on the upkeep".

The sense is that a maintained enchantment costs 1 pip of energy regen and it can help energy management to remove it when it isn't actually being used. If you leave it up to the AI, he will cast it on you during a fight and remove it when you're not fighting so that he can regen energy faster. If you make him cast it anyway without disabling it, he will immediately remove it because you aren't in battle. Unfortunately, the AI is too stupid to figure out a fight is about to happen, so it never pre-casts any kind of buff (maintained or not) but always waits until you're actually engaged, which is why you often have to micro-manage such things.

The reason is because AI drops it after fights so it thinks "it is no longer needed". The AI, however, will recast it when you engage in another battle.
