Selfless Spirit 5|1/4|60 Enchantment Spell.
Let's admit I have Allegiance rank 6 (1.200.000 faction, 30 hours in fff), so:
For 15 seconds, spells you cast that target an ally cost 5 less energy. This enchantment ends if you cast a spell on yourself.
Great? Hmmm. Compare with GoLE 5|1|30. At 0 Energy Storage: For the next 15 seconds, your next 2 Spells cost 10 less Energy to cast.
At 60s GoLE: +30 energy.
That Selfless Spirit has made as much, for 15 seconds it is necessary to make 6 spells. So much?! Thus to watch, that any has not been directed on itself. That is, no "Heal Party" or LoD.
After about 5 days farming faction, we have piece of shit, but good spell. Where is my mistake?

First question, how do you manage to hit 1.2mil faction in 30 hours? Very curious because that would mean 3000 lut runs / jade arena in 30 hours, or 100 per hour (2 runs a min?). If that's possible, I'll definitely be up for getting those ranks to 7+.

Also, it's meant to be a spell you can cast while not taking damage. That way, you can spam RoF, guardian, and WoH on the targets taking damage, and getting in about 9-10 casts during that 18 (with ench mod) second timeframe. I've tried it but didn't like it, but I'd imagine in a good scenario (along with 8+ ranks in luxon/kurzick), it can save 50+ energy every minute easily.

About farming: I use fff, about 16k faction/hour (with getting in Guild Hall), that is 32k faction transfer, so Faction allegiance title track 6 may make for 1200000/32000~37 hours. It's possible more faster, less 30 hours, I know some tricks.
I'm pure healer, that is LoD or more often, healer's boon: Healer's boon - Ethereal Light - DKiss - Cure Hex - Heal Party - Seed of Life (I have 10 sunspear rank, preferably for minions) - anything for ressurection. I dislike hybrid monk (healer/prot) and very seldom play as prot. And as prot I cannot use Aegis, because from divine favor triggering.
So, as healer or prot I cannot use any party spells. It's very bad!
I understand, that 12 allegiance rank (20 sek selfless spirit) is great. But more than 300 hours for farming this rank is full crazy, IMHO.

[wiki]Selfless Spirit[/wiki] is ja much better version of [skill]Divine Spirit[/skill] although it doesn't power Deny Hexes.

It works pretty well in combination with [skill]Glyph Of Renewal[/skill] since it makes [skill]Reversal Of Fortune[/skill], [skill]Mend Condition[/skill] and [skill]Dwayna's Kiss[/skill] free while allowing you to use stuff like [skill]Spirit Bond[/skill] and [skill]Heal Other[/skill] liberally. It's one of the better options for a red-barring monk but overall doesn't do as well as a WoH hybrid.
