Not thought of that one, yeah it is a pretty terrible skill the block rate is only against missiles and it's only at 50%. It's not 100% maintainable, I guess the long recharge makes it usable with master of magic, although magnetic aura is much better for that purpose. I think this is on par with the usefulness of Protective Bond.

Restoration can be useful in bad groups, where dying is common. I've also found a use for it in AB by teleporting with recall to close to dead party members then ressurrecting them, then teleporting out of danger. Okay it's not really that useful, but it was fun There's plenty of bad, yet funny uses for Restoration.

Also thinking about Lacerating Chop I'm not really sure why anyone would really use this. I assume it's main purpose is to serve as a cover condition for deep wound after a bull strike/shock spike but you may as well use axe rake to cause cripple instead. One would be better off using Penetrating chop imo (and that's not very good)

It's not a bad skill if you bring signets!

Resurrection signet, Healing signet + Purge signet. With just those 3 useful signets, means you have a +30 damage 4 adrenaline non-elite attack skill.

With 4 signets, it's +40 damage, which is the same amount as [skill]Quivering Blade[/skill]

<- "Coward!" fails.

Don't get me started on or because if you use Burning Speed over Flame Djiin's you need a slap.

Well it's certainly a 'gimmicky' build but it's also pretty fun, I don't think there's something wrong as long as you realize it's only for fun

Light of Dwayna was a crucial skill in EoE spike. Farmed many an Iway nub with it on a ranger bar

Maybe not the worst skill in the world, but it's the hallmark of Ranger noobness.
