It only buffs your straight heals. Only Heaven's Delight, Divine Healing and Blessed Light from the DF line get buffed. Only Dismiss Condition, Mend Condition, Mend Ailment, Extinguish, and RC from the Prot line are buffed by UA. All the non-enchantment heals from Healing Prayers are buffed with Patient Spirit being the only enchantment that gets buffed. I would expect that Empathic Removal would be the only no attribute spell to get buffed by UA.

If you want a spell that buffs any and all skills that make red bars go up, try Aura of Faith. It buffs prots like RoF and SBond, as well as enchantments like Vigourous Spirit, and stuff like Smiter's Boon as well.

Thanks for clarifying, I was wondering if it would work with RoF...shame it doesn't really.

I tried both a few res'es with it, as well playing a pug (consulate docks, l13 ele with same level heros) to see the healing effect.

Imo it's my new favourite (heal) elite. The fact that you can buff your heal bar and save a spot for an instant, infinite-range, full energy/hp res is the reason for that.

My res tests included radar range and of radar (being greyed out and literally on the other side of the area). I'm very suprised both worked. I can see how this can be useful for numberous things (altough i haven't come up with one yet). Also the fact that you just remove your ench and recast, and the next second the person is rezzed makes mid-battle rez much more viable.

The healing part is slightly inferior to HB, mostly because of the decreased cast time that HB offers, but the increased healing on a normal fullheal bar is the same.

Only problem is, is a full heal monk still used (together with a full prot) or is the dual hybrid better (using woh and for instance sod, rc or aof or just another woh).

I'd say generally yes, but situations differ. Still I'm happy with the new unyielding aura.

Yea, after a quick test of UAura last night I've had my mind completely changed. I tested it in Nahpui Quarter with a failPuG, and dear lord, did they fail hard. What with Kamikaze Jamei (one of the 2 AI players) and an Assassin with 5HP who Death Charged into groups of monsters I got a LOT of mileage out of UAura. The first 10 resses were quite fun, but after that it got old and pointless. If the group needs ressing that much then they need to learn to play the game better, and if the group doesn't need ressing then UAura is redundant.

It's an "ok" skill for Prophecies-only players I suppose.

You know what!?
I was in DEEP r3 using Unyielding
r2 was wiped as many pugs always do.
I pulled the whole r2 into r3 lmao.

And its extremely useful to rez poor tanks who tends to die pulling big group

If the group needs ressing that much then they need to learn to play the game better, and if the group doesn't need ressing then UAura is redundant.

So agree with you. I was in a pug group yesterday and I guess I double clicked that enchantment 40+ times.
Its still useful for big map like deep tho. As the tank has to be 50 miles away from the team. And the rebirth trick blah blah blah.

I actually like the change to UA as it will be good for really bad pugs just stand there and res them.

Hell yeah, I mean, If the game gets too easy on your own, just join some PUGs :P
