... ends if you use a skill ??? - Guild Wars Forums

Trying to figure out some skills I have aquired.
When I see skills with this in their description, as a warrior I don't see how they prove usefull to me.

I mean, Bonetti's Defense sounds awesome, but for the duration of the skill I cant use othe skills? How is this suspose to be usefull to a warrior who is trying to kill mobs using skills? (currnetly my tactics is 5, so the duration is 7 seconds ... 7 seconds and I would have a mob killed using sever artery and gash)

I hope I am just looking at this wrong and this (and other skills like it) are really great, and do have their place.

Thanks.

Some warrior builds involve surviving instead of dealing damage. So they can activate all the defensive skills and then Bonetti's to stay alive.

Skills like Bonetti's Defense are great when you're entering a battle to block incoming arrows, or to buy some time to use healing signet or rez signet. Or you can just soak up some damage while attacking without skills.

It also dawned on me after I posted this that I might be able to use it to get energy back to cast a heal on myself.

You got a revelation

Yeah, it's ok. I think the stances are best for fighting with groups and doing more aggro-drawing than offensive nuking. But, I'm still working on using Bonettis. Shield Stance (or def or whatever) seems pretty good in that it doesn't disallow skills, but it takes 5 energy.
