I played my rit again today after a long absence, and i looked at the new NF skills and i came across this one:
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Weapon_of_Remedy

Anyone else think this skill might rule the Farming in NF?

Its a good skill but its most likely to get nerfed because you could keep recasting it over and over again. However it says "ally" which i think means that you can only cast it on your buddies, still good but not soloable (yes i made a word)

Yeah this skil is gonna be nerfed bad. You can cast spells that says ally on you just not spells that say other ally. Aparently you consider yourself an ally.

The skill looks fine as is since it is an Elite. I don't see anything to compelling to make me want to drop VwK.

Arkantos · Oct 24, 2006, 07:51 PM // 19:51

This skill will not replace VwK.

It does 2x as much damage, and allows for a larger energy pool, plus it drops conditions, which isnt a make or break bonus, but very helpful

I also do not see this replacing VwK. The reason being is that it has a 3 second recharge. This would remove the ability to face mass melee creatures as you will most likely get hit for far more dmg in those 3 seconds than the 79 health that you will steal off one foe.

Figure with VwK when you are being attacked you are stealing 37 life from all creatures attacking you, which is a big bonus.

That is at least my view on this, others might vary.

From reading the skill it just seems to be a slightly beefed up version of Vengeful Weapon. It steals a little more heal and you lose a condition. So it will act like Vengeful Weapon from my understanding and only effect 1 attack.

Racthoh · Oct 24, 2006, 08:47 PM // 20:47

VwK has crowd control, Weapon of Remedy doesn't. You use VwK and you're god for 10~ seconds, along with the ability to arcane echo to double that. A farming build is going to be a lot more effective if you can drop a large group of enemies quickly, not slowly wither one down every 3 seconds.

And even 1vs.1, I'd rather use Vengeful Weapon and leave my elite slot open. The remove condition part of Weapon of Remedy IMO is a very strong counter to adreno-spikes where you'd expect a deep wound. But, there aren't any farming locations where this would be an issue.

Saider maul · Oct 24, 2006, 09:16 PM // 21:16

its vengful weapon in steroids. nothing special. touch of a waste for an elite IMO.

Toxic RD · Oct 24, 2006, 09:37 PM // 21:37

Sorry, i misread it, i thought it would steal 63 during the duration of the weapon spell, i overlooked the fact it only works on the next attack

-.- · Oct 24, 2006, 10:43 PM // 22:43

Yes, it's like Reversal of Fortune.

I can't believe the posts here. VWK is crap besides solo-farming.

VWK only triggers on attack damage can can only affect the caster. Weapon of Remedy triggers on all damage and can affect anyone.

Easy choice for PvP and PvE.

"The next time"
Lets see you solo any group of even 3 monsters? 3 second recharge you can't keep up even close to as much as you can with one cast of VWK. What kinda build would you place around it to do damage and keep yourself from taking too much damage is what I'd like to see.

There was a post awhile back on soloing Jade Brothers with VWK. If you used just one skill (this one) you could not keep up with the jade brothers even if you had unlimited energy and archane echo.
Not for solo farming.

I'm sorry we are in a thread called "Weapon of Remedy: The newest farming skill???" which is posted in the Farming board of the Forum...And only talking about how good it is for farming.

Shame on us :\

You are aware the discussion is about solo farming, right?

Dahnel · Oct 25, 2006, 09:20 AM // 09:20

RA type skill if you ask me

no.
RoF negates damage, WoR doesn't.
RoF isn't lifestealing, WoR is.
RoF has a variable lifegaining, WoR has a (basically) fixed lifegaining.

Sorry, just bashing some misconceptions here.
