And if your whole party members are standing in AoE, you should rage at them or flag them if they are heros. Seriously if your whole team suddenly is getting pressuried that hard in PvE then you are doing something wrong. I never find myself in a situation where half my team is going down.
have you monked in DoA with an ursan team? generally teams take out monks first. you have 3-6 people all standing adjacent to each other spiking down one enemy. 1 or 2 of the eles in the city cast chain lightning. AoE damage. it's not uncommon. i've monked in DoA for a while now and it happens once or twice each run. am i the only one that's ever experienced this??? i would like you to show me where i said SoL is the only skill i use. it's situational, so no, while it's down i don't just twiddle my thumbs. i monk.

like most non-elite skills it's a useful very useful skill in certain situations. i will say again that i have seen half of my teams' bars go from half full to completely full just from this skill. it can be a 300 point party heal when used effectively. i will admit that i don't use it very often anywhere other than elite areas and upper level HM areas. and even then i still only use it when i'm with a group of ursans...usually. don't give me any ursan is for noobs who can't play crap, because i happen to feel the same way. the problem is that ursans rule the PvE world right now and getting a balanced team who coordinate properly, outside of your own guildmates, is nearly impossible.

so while playing PvE, with a pug or H/H, you've never experienced a party wipe?? you've never been in a situation where 3 or 4 group members are dead?? that's a little hard to believe.

SoR i'm assuming is shield of regeneration as opposed to sig of rejuvenation. i can't think of many situations where i would choose this skill as my elite and it doesn't even do the same thing as SoL so you can't really compare them. as you said earlier SoA or prot spirit can do this just about as well. Dwayna's Sorrow is a very good skill now that it was fixed but as i said earlier, Ursan rules PvE now and there aren't many MMs in an Ursan team, but if i am going with a balanced team i would most likely use this on my hero or ask the MM to use it but i would never carry this myself. Heal Party cannot give you 300 health for every party member with only 5E and 1/4sec cast. you use heal party 3 times for a 300 point party-wide heal and you just cost yourself at least 30 E in most cases. (GoLE-5E, HP-5E, HP-5E, HP15E)
SoL is very situational. you will never hear me say it isn't. you said "and for the record there are no pve skills which are of use to a monk" and i say there are times where this one, at least, is useful. i don't need to use it very often, so the 25s recharge isn't that big of a deal. there have been many times where it didn't necessarily save my party, but did save me a ton of energy. and there are times when it did probably save my party. yes i have a high E set, but if i never have to use it again, i'll be a happy camper. |
