I haven't had access to Guild Wars, but was able to see the updates. I was curious as to how a boon protector might do with [Lyssas Aura] & [Waste Not Want Not] with [inspired enchantment] I am not able to get online to check it out myself.

Any thoughts?

Heroes might be able to utilize it well. But i find it hard to effectively monk and target through enemies to cast spells on at the same time.

tab cast spell

Chances are higher for him NOT to be casting or attacking rather than he will

I haven't played around with Lyssa's yet, but it's on my list of things to do. I envision some really nice uses in AB, particularly for a Mesmer that might want to utilize high-cost skills like Conjure Nightmare instead of Conjure Phantasm, etc.

I noticed the npc mesmers use Lyssa's in AB, though they don't appear to be any more of a threat than they did before the buff.

[Waste Not Want Not] has 5 sec more rc than Lyssas' effect, how will you fix that against un-enchanted foes? Plus, is [Lyssas Aura] even worth a monk elite?

It would only have a six second downtime with only Waste Not, Want Not, using an enchanting mod...

lol, i tried the exact same thing the second after the skill update and rolled a char called boon prot returns xD, it doesnt work well at all though... you can keep lyssa's up with inspired enchant but only if you use it on foe with no enchants and it's 10e to renew every 10 seconds... so no, no boon prot ;(

I was just playing around with it in RA (got a glad point

)... it works to some extent, but it isnt the greatest, maybe there is something in smiting that is low cost to keep it up.

I was thinking "return of the boon prot" too, but triggered on the other buffed elite
[power drain][remove hex][dismiss condition][guardian][reversal of fortune][spirit bond][divine boon][unyielding aura]
The +50% effects the divine boon bonus. I was casting straight through the new visions of regret and was getting healed thanks to spirit bond*1.5.
Energy is still a bit tight, but I can't see anything to drop and of course its pve only

If I had to choose a filler to maintain it, it'd be Wastrel's Worry. Quick cast & recharge.

Id consider power retrun as a sick option, its downside sucks but its more useful then a worry that doesnt trigger.

Epic Monkey Battle · Aug 11, 2008, 03:35 AM // 03:35

wastrels seems like a viable option, i may have to try that.

This is PvE... the enemy is never sitting around.
