Light of Dwanya is my faviorte for my E/Mo. There's nothing like the satisfaction of ressing your whole team right before you die

(or the other team saying WTF was that?)

Me, I think it's fine. People don't take it because it's a one shot deal, and I'm quite convinced that most of those who complain about it don't take it.
Anything that is available to all can not impede strategy. Res with a res signet takes 3 secs, can be interrupted, happens once only, to bring back an entire squad it takes 9 secs, and is a one shot deal. If you get wasted after the others have ressed, then you either didn't think of a res strategy (your fault), or the other team was much much better than you and screwed the first time (your fault), or you were leveled and they got lucky (bad luck, shit happens).

My opinion.

I was fighting on the fort arena with the two small wood bridges (lion's Arch arena). I had a monk targetted on top of the bridge with my shortbow at max range and my side against a wall. I took the monk down and targetted the enemy that was closest to the downed monk. This target was beside me, no closer to the monk than me. He didn't revive the monk; didn't even try. No it was someone else even farther away from the monk, about half the range again of my bow.

It just seems silly that you can be about 1/3 of that map away from someone and still res them with the signet.

am i reading this right? are you complaining that you killed someone at the max range of your bow and then with you still standing where you were someone behind the monk ressed him? From your own statement if you had been standing on the monks bosy you would have been in range of the resser, but you attacked the monk at your max range and someone outside of that range managed to rez him. Plus you said you were using a shortbow

I'm sorta failing to see how this makes it have more range than a longbow

You have 8 skill slots.
you use up 1 for a one time full rez per battle.

if you don't bring it you're stronger in either defence or dealing damage buffing or healing.
but hey if 1 full team wouldn't bring res signets they'd have stronger 1 on 1 chars because they have a useful extra skillslot.
but the other team just has a second chance against them in a battle since they can all rez once, but only have 7 other skills.

if the other team has stronger 1 on 1 chars cuz of their extra skill then I totally agree with the creators that the rez signet has more range, since they took it with them to have that extra second chance, thus they need to be able to have quite the chance to properly use it.

I think it's fine as it is.

You are a ranger. What are you complaining about? Bring frozen soil.

Doesn't Res Signet have the same range as every single spell in the game, 80ft? If you're worried about not having enough range on your Short Bow (60ft), then use something else.
