It's a very boring skill, and I don't use it.

Ursan Blessing is good, but there are better builds

Not for me.
I rather trade in Kamadan than use Ursan to farm.

I primarily use Ursan on my monk. Up until recently, I only used my Monk for 55 farming, because it's boring to heal heros & henches through the game.

Ursan gives me a way to easily switch between offense and defense. In hard mode, my monk build consists of prot spirit, pain inverter, and ursan. Prot spirit is used primarily as self-protection when Ursan is recharging. The remaining 5 spells will be another pve spell suitable for the area (sometimes I use finish him!, sometimes I use an asura summon, if going against destroyers, I use Alkar's Acid spell, etc.) plus normal Monk defense spells. I like to go Mo/W, throw some points in tactics and use a long-lasting stance like Balanced Stance since UB doesn't cancel stances like it does enchants.

I've also been working on the exploration titles in Normal mode for my Monk using Ursan. In that case, I drop pain inverter and throw in a cap sig. PI doesn't do much in normal mode, and exploring often reveals bosses I've never seen before. UB has made playing my Monk a lot more fun, although I don't typically use it for the other character classes.

I don't need to use it. My own builds work far better. I mean, I can defeat Magni with Searing Flames...

It helps me find all the people wanting to play charging Wammos without actually playing a charging Wammo.

Zhack · Jan 02, 2008, 12:38 PM // 12:38

The part i like the most in GW is the planning of builds, trying to make them synergize etc.
So i never use things like ursan, except when it is absolutely necessary for the mission.

Don't use it. Rather play my profession properly.

Havre Fras · Jan 02, 2008, 01:04 PM // 13:04

I used it once or twice. Overall I thought it sucks. It still does, IMO. I prefer using normal and other PvE skills.

Besides, for some reason I prefered the wolf blessing.

makosi · Jan 02, 2008, 01:08 PM // 13:08

It's mindless button mashing but effective for those of us who dislike using brain power. All you need is 3 Monks, 4 Ursan followers and an Ursan caller and it steamrolls anything.

I use it occasionally if I want something done without having to use effort.

Exploiting the overpowered aspects is the key to winning anything in GW.

Magikarp · Jan 02, 2008, 01:08 PM // 13:08

I don't.

Used it in UW 1/2 times, and that's about it.

Don't really like using it that much, but don't have a problem with people that like to use it.

RTSFirebat · Jan 02, 2008, 01:20 PM // 13:20

I used fairly often these days, UB does have a number of uses:

- Makes Elite areas easier and faster - Time is not something I have a lot of so its great.

- Provides an additional extra amount of damage and tanking to a group - sometimes if we don't have a warrior available or lacking damage going UB can make up for it.

- VQing H+H - I always use UB if I'm VQing with just hero and hench, since it makes things go a lot quicker.

I diagree, you can use it if you don't want to. Which makes it fine.

UB is not godmode, you can still get smacked down while using it. Also if you team needs 3 MONKS, then you must all suck at PvE

But it is a boring button bashing build, but hey it does the trick.

boxterduke · Jan 02, 2008, 01:22 PM // 13:22

Used it in DoA clears and just on my Monk when questing with h/h since I don't like to heal/prot all the much with a h/h team.

If you are bad enough to die with UB, then you are not qualified to be in the elite areas.

HayesA · Jan 02, 2008, 01:28 PM // 13:28

I used it to clear UW, and FoW to get my bloody statues. Although, been thinking to use it, now, to get my statue for DoA. But besides that, I hate the bloody spell; it's boring. Just another fad build/skill, that will fade out when a better one surfaces. Or when Anet nerfs it into the dirt.

I perfer my usual nuking, and damage dealing builds which tend to have higher DPS. Especially Pain Inverter.

Can I do it for you?

press c
press 1

there you go, Ursan Guide in detail.

I would like to talk to a person that designed this "skill" and ask him/her how does it feel to turn this wonderful and complicated game into a c-space fest. I obviously don't use it and you could say that I shouldn't care what other people do. But I do care. Why? cause it makes me sad how many people will never see how deep could this game be cause they will never ever need to think about their builds, about the synergy with heroes or other players, about countering specific monsters... no they only need this one skill nothing more. It's just sad.
