Curse

I've been running a typical hybrid bar for a few months now, and consider myself an "OK" monk (make red bars go down slower when possible, make red bars go up otherwise.) I've been making some minor tweaks here and there, and thought maybe "Save Yourselves!" would be a fun addition to the bar. Here's what I've come up with while sitting here bored at work... I'm worried about energy management (I'm used to running GoLE for aegis/heal party).

Save Yourselves! + [skill]Word of Healing[/skill][skill]Dismiss Condition[/skill]Cure Hex[skill]Shielding Hands[/skill][skill]Heal Party[/skill][skill]Aegis[/skill][skill]Rebirth[/skill]

Is Save Yourselves a worthwhile addition, or just a waste of time you think?

P.S. I'm a spear monk and am usually pinging a long, so I'll get 8 Adrenaline once and a while

Waste of time - you should be casting.
Stick with GoLE and leave the SY'ing to the Paragons/Warriors

You won't be getting 8 adrenaline much, because you'll be busy healing others. It's not worth it imo.

Ya I agree with Arky. Even though in PvE you don't always having to be running around healing, to sit there and try to build 8 adrenaline just isn't worth it.

Furious spear imo.
(Not a good idea to run SY! on a Monk, Paragons do the whole thing a lot better)

Use GoLE. Aside from the fact that you will be casting and not have enough spare time to use it effectively, but by using SY you will give everyone else +100 armor and all the monsters will be more likely to aggro onto you with the lowest AL.

Dang it :P posted before me.

Yeah, while save yourselves will definitely be an enormous boost to making the red bars go down slower, it will leave you with BY FAR the least AL in the group. Being a monk and already only having 60AL, you will probably attract the aggro of every single enemy attacking, who will collapse on you and. well, cause your death.

You don't need GoLE except for heal party but with Aegis you you don't just don't chain it after it has recharged only using it sparingly.I did a Mo/W use heal party but only sparingly there as well not draining my energy.I wouldn't use SY it is much like using Shields UP and it is on you almost similar to Aegis but piercing.

As he said, he's used to GoLE.

I see all your points about adrenaline and aggro.

About GoLE, I use it with Aegis and HP just to make sure I have plenty of energy to go around "in case sh!-hits-the-fan".

SY! isn't a good skill to run in a monk build, I can only see Para's & Warrior's running it effectively.

I didn't read what was in the brackets and for that bar I would agree although Aegis doesn't need GoLE even prenerf .It is like I said don't chain it same can be said for heal party.Rangers can use SY as well.

True....but GoLE is some extremely nice emanagement skill!

It might be nice but there are other secondaries to consider other than /E and GoLE is much better used an Ele now.

how about a 600hp monk 'tank' using it in conjunction with balthazars spirit?
