Yeah, uh... most people don't use wind prayers actually. That'd be one of the better skills to take if you were going to though.

The enchantment rend isn't a cost. You can use Pious Assault without any enchantments up, and it'll still inflict bonus damage and the Deep Wound.

...yeah, but that only works if you have a build that doesn't use enchantments. Replacing Heart of Fury isn't always that easy - though I suppose you could do it if you had to (Flail?).

It's an expensive skill without the energy return from a rend though.

If you're already running without enchantments, you might be able to get by with Pious Fury.. its uptime/downtime ratio kinda sucks, but its a stance at least.

last i checked, its uptime/downtime ratio is better than HoF (without eternal aura). and i dont thing there have been any updates to either skill sense then...

Pious Fury is only 5 seconds at 12 mysticism (it hits 6 at 14). It has a 10 second recharge.

Unfortunately, that means it isn't better. It's something, though.

Could combine it with Dwarven Stability. That would make it last the entire 10 seconds at max rank I believe.

Aura of Thorns works nicely with Pious Assault. Cripple, Deep wound and bleeding. Costs 15 energey but is still fun in PvE.Heart of Holy Flame could also be ended with it to do some burning damage.

Uh... yeah... the problem is it's also earth prayers, which is a bit annoying. But if you're running a build that is just intended to spam conditions, it might be an idea actually.

Mirage Cloak + Pious Assault? Mini-spike ftw.

I know, I know, nothing special.

I think that all of Dervish rending skills should only rend Dervish enchantments...would make it a whole lot easier to run.
