Curse

Why not just alter the skill to make it seem somewhat like a prot skill. Heals 5-40 hp for each enchantment or hex on the target. energy gain remain the same.

It is just stupid the way it is on Prot. Makes no sense, completely throws the limitation of Prot (lack of serious healing) out of whack. It is SUPPOSED to have that limitation. Why not just put it in Smiting, or sword mastery. Yeah, sword mastery doesn't have any good healing skills either.

I think ZB was put in the game just to make up for the loss of Boon/Prot viability.

The warrior is an offensive class. The monk is a class made up of 3 1/2 lines of defense.

The skill you mention is [skill]Dwayna's Kiss[/skill], a healing prayers spell.

First of all, the sword mastery thing was a joke.

Second of all, I knew there was another skill out there like the one I said, just didn't feel like looking it up. I'm amused that it ended up being a skill in the Healing line.

My point is the same though, keep the healing, keep the energy gain, keep it in protection, but make it SOMEHOW fit with the protection line.

One difference: Dwaynas kiss is better then the skill flapper suggest and its not even elite.

About being overpowered and free , it is free in the correct conditions, like any skill is goood in the correct conditions, stop looking at the skill from a RA point of view in real pvp GVG the other monk lots of times messes up the ZB monk cause he also heals, the only time the heal is almost always free is when the ZB infuses then uses ZB to get hp back up.

Look at the recent move of Bloodsong from Communing to Channeling. Does that make sense from a reality point of view? No. However, they changed it to make the channeling magic attribute have an attack spirit.

Now, from what you're saying, they should move [wiki]Divine Intervention[/wiki] to Protection Prayers, since it's an enchantment that protects your target. Would this bode well for game mechanics? No.

I think ZB was put in protection so protection monks or classes that go /mo would have one good healing spell.

Arkantos · Mar 02, 2007, 09:14 PM // 21:14

Let's move [wiki]Soldier's Strike[/wiki] to Strength while we're at it, it doesn't match the description of Tactics.

Vermilion · Mar 02, 2007, 09:24 PM // 21:24

Since its been brought up a couple times, I have to ask.

Do people consider ZB being in prot okay due to the possibility of it being used a heal for /mos? It just sounds like a retarded idea to me..I would assume thats not considered in the reasons for Anet to put it ZB in prot.

Xenex Xclame · Mar 02, 2007, 09:40 PM // 21:40

If people want to waste their Elite on this healing skill let them do it, but then we go again to do example i gave, nobody in real pvp will go /mo just to use ZB.

I really don't agree on this as a protection Monks could use it in combination with infuse heath or to heal up a healing infuser Monk.It is also good against any type of spike damage.Leave it where it is.
