it is in the right contex, like if u have a LB bonder and jsut bond every one then 2 monks to rotate this move its liek 30hp every attack or whatever for every one. but with no bonder PS is better in hard mode, it jsut depends on what ur running

Best words about HM/Monks tbh, can't really get much better unless your monk doesn't know how to use prot spirit or something

The sunspear/factions skills are generally much stronger than regular skills, so I wouldn't be surprised that seed of life is the best (or one of the best) monk skill out there.

Absolutely. I tried this in a shield of regeneration/aegis pure protection build, replacing shield of absorption with this skill, and its amazing. Even better when extended with a 20% enchanting mod and blessed aura.

It won't get nerfed until somebody makes a build that causes mass economic disruption

The same way Intensity, Necrosis and Elemental Lord weren't nerfed.

Seed of Life seems to only be worth it when used on a Bonder. For normal use, I find that Seed of Life works at it's prime when everything is attacking a singular target or tank, and when this is happening the need for a party wide heal drops majorly. The thing is that Seed operates best when it's needed the least.

Yeah, QFT. I don't know why everyone creams thier pants over a skill that's just 90% useless healing.

Seed Of Life is an awkward skill to use. Simply put, you will never get the maximum usage out of it, it's expensive, and it has a long recharge. It has all the qualities of what your monk doesn't want on its skillbar.

I like the idea of having another skill with Divine Favor roots, but it just doesn't do the right "thing" to be useful on my skillbar.

This is the only use for it.

QFT.

in NM the healing is a total waste as most party members should be pretty full of health
in HM the healing wont do much against a 200 damage sword swing

Use prot spirit on any target with an agro of 10+ monsters in HM and toss in 2 seeds of life (using 2 monks) with extend enchant weapons.
[email protected]+hp group heal.
Seed of life stacks.

It is pretty hard for anyone in your group to die with about 50-60 hp in heals per hit on a tank (roughly 500-800 hp heals for everyone per second with 10 monsters in HM).

Seed of life is great in HM and NM. Not the best (prot spirit is Elite grade, especially in HM), but I use it all the time on my prot bar. Prot spirit has a different use. Put SoL on the right target, it's a fountain of health. Note that the range is only the aggro range. It's still kick ass and saved my party numerous times. yes it's conditional, yes it's worth a slot. You do need a +20% enchantment to make the most of it, the duration is rather short.
