Heart of Fury vs Aura of Holy Flame

[skill]Heart of Fury[/skill] vs [skill]Aura of Holy Might[/skill]

So, i often find I only have room on by skill bar for one offensive enchant, and it usually comes down to these two. With nothing else, they both seem to give about the same damage boost. HoF is nice because any bonus damage from other sources will hit more often, but I cant upkeep it as much of the time, and if I'm using Ermite's and Mystic Sweep then its sort of being wasted a bit.

Any thoughts?

Edit: grr...the forum still doesnt recognize pve skills?

Heart of Fury. It's up 2/3 of the time which isn't bad, and i usually only use 1 of either mystic or eremites; so an IAS isn't wasted.

I'd say Heart of Fury because the IAS is really helpful in many cases. With 20% enchant mod, it can last for ~22 seconds out of the 30 so 8 sec cool down isn't so bad for an IAS that lasts that long. Unless your Kurzick rank is like 8+, then stick with Heart of Fury.

I've found Heart of Fury exceptionally useful when you have several "normal" attacks, as opposed to Mystic/Eremite's which break the cycle...

That and holy damage isn't usually a big deal anyway. If you don't have an avatar maybe there's some point as it stops damage getting reduced... but on Avatar of Lyssa (which I use for most PvE these days) the bonus damage is so huge you don't need it.

And of course, AoB + holy flame ... yeah. I would love to see a skill bar with both.

Edit: My bad, thought you meant Heart of Holy Flame, which is quite different from Aura of Holy Might.

woops, thats understandable. i had a typo in my title....fixed now!

Agree.. use both.
Lyssa does it better.

Yeah I mistakenly thought it was about HoHF. AoHM is actually very good... sadly I haven't done enough ABing/whatever to have it yet. :/ Need to get ASAP though, it looks like a non-elite Vow of Strength...

Aura of holy might is still pretty good even at rank 1.

Either way both enchantments have very different effects so trying to compare them isn't really possible. I agree with jesh run em both.

dwayna>>>>>>lyssa
melandru>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>lyssa

Did you just say Lyssa is bad?

How many mesmers have cast [card]Ignorance[/card] on you in the last 5 minutes? 70?

Lyssa isn't bad and its not niche, its something you can bring anywhere, people are goiong to cast skills...and when they do...theres lyssa saying "Cast a long spell and go to hell"
Lyssa + arcane conundrum = Fun!!!!

Melandru may be good >.> but its ugly!

Lyssa is possibly the ugliest avatar. But in general use it may have the best utility; extra damage on targets activating skills is hardly area-specific. Unlike Dwayna, Grenth and Balthazar...

re:lyssa:
doing extra(conditional) damage at the expense of a non maintainable elite(or in pve, doing extra damage when the monsters drop like flies) is not all that spectacular.
dwayna makes godly tanks, and melandru makes unkillable destruction machines

imo

*sigh* why do i hang out in the derv forum, i hate dervishes...

When it comes to those enchantments, Heart of the Holy Flame, Hands Down.
