As someone who already abused selfless alot as is, I'm pretty annoyed with this update. All monk bars are soon going to devolve into ether renewal style builds. At least the sin's promise monks took a little awareness and timing to keep the engine going.

Not only Monk bars... probably even resto/channeling/weapon spell spam Ritualist bars will bring Selfless too, as it works with any spells, not just Monk spells. And possibly the E/Mo healers too, not sure if they even need the reduction in cost though.

ANet still would rather buff underpowered PvE skills than nerf the overpowered ones, it seems.

Boonprot, how I've missed you.

Selfless+Boon is the new PvE? ZB or LS for elite.

Used it yesterday, Aara of Faith as elite. Worked like a charm (dragon's lair hm, pugging, other monk with hb-healparty spam-something).

I like it ^.^

Selfless spirit makes Healer's Covenant worthless. You can basically combine with Self spirit UA or HB, with a bunch of cheap healing skills and you will never run out of energy.

Healer's Covenant has always been worthless.

Selfless Spirit opens up some interesting doors.

Actually, I've used it before HB, UA and now Selfless Spirit was nerfed.

Just because you used it doesn't mean it's not worthless. It's a terribly inferior skill to use compared to other elites. Also, UA bars are just awful in general. Bad monks are bad.

Not always, but now it is completely useless. A-net should really buff it now, although i doubt they will, as there are lots of PvE only skills that make other skills a joke.
