Faithful Intervention?

I find it a good enchant to run when using the dagger skills that like you to be enchanted to hit. Lyssa ftw. If neither is stripped, watchful will be more reliant because it is less likely to trigger. Watchful is a neat skill to take into arenas as you can pre-cast it on all 4 of your team before the game starts. (RA especially as the game is usually over in 1 minute).

If your talking PvE wise, i'd rather just get my monk to keep PS on me (as the mob should be attacking the frontliner). Again, that's saving me a skill slot.

...Watchful is a neat skill to take into arenas as you can pre-cast it on all 4 of your team before the game starts. (RA especially as the game is usually over in 1 minute)... How can you precast watchful on 4 team members with its 15 second recharge ?_?

You can atleast get it on 2 chars who will be stomped (monk for example) and then cast it on yourself + other as you go in.

I can usually get it cast on all 3 before hand and then cast on myself just before the fighting starts.

I can usually get it cast on all 3 before hand and then cast on myself just before the fighting starts. But...by the time it's recharged for the 3rd time so you can use it on yourself, the 60 seconds is up for the 1st person, so the 1st person loses it...

Or do you use an enchanting weapon affect that?

Even so, there seem very little point really.

Still, i wouldn't go into arenas without wathful or imbue - they'll save the monk's life more than enough times. (if he can't save his own)

But please people, be honest, it is a complete fail if you think casting it on others is useful... Eh???
If you actually watch what's going on, you can slap it on your monk just before he's spiked and save his life.

If you actually watch what's going on, you can slap it on your monk just before he's spiked and save his life. The biggest reason for my argument against this skill's use on others in battle::
Its a 1 second cast, not 1/4. not 3/4. Meaning it is yet another liability for mid battle usage on others. It won't be fast enough to catch damage spikes (both pve and pvp applicative), and its long enough to detract from actions for your own survivability putting you at further risk or lessoning the amount of dmg/confusion you could be pushing on your foes. Continuation of dmg and/or spreading conditions is in essence a method of pre-protting your backline; meaning when foes break through the front line and come for your casters they have already suffered dmg and conditions enough to weaken them for faster take down or simply wont be as effective vs your team... which is a good thing. This is first and foremost, therefore delaying any of these actions (for spell casting on others) for a possibility to catch someone from dying is counter intuitive.

Also, a small point, it is 10e. Your spamming other skills to simply survive or attack that also range 5-10 energy, so right away you suffer from proper energy to use yet another 10e spell, at will, on anyone but yourself. Sure i can bring other emanagement spells, but that will only detract from a dervishes role, as most of their bar is already aimed at self buffs...

It remains a descent self defense spell for its pre casting and between target switching. If the above roles are applied well enough, "catching" someone with Watchful should simply not be necessary nor is it even effective as explained. If this had a faster caste time/slower recharge then it could possibly be used as an effective party support spell.

My opinion remains, its a descent self defense/heal, but it remains inefficient and ineffective as a mid battle support spell on others. My point was just that arguing for Watchful being better then Faithful because it can be used on others is a moot point. Simply a silly reason...

I'm just explaining my reasoning here, since u asked.

cheers.
