Not really. It lasts longer than Guardian. Plus, it's a NF skill. That expansion is really enchantment stuffed, because Dervs and whatnot. 72.209.41.202 22:11, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

They should increase the duration of this skill imo.--207.172.193.204 03:53, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Buff?

When Guardian was changed to a solid 50%, this skill lost the only appeal it had over that. This recharges slower and has an unreliable block. This should get buffed to compete with Guardian.
pensive [ˈpensiv] adjective - thinking deeply (about something)
Pensive requiring an enchantment could be "...while that ally is not using a skill or attacking." because they're "daydreaming". Just do something, this skill hardly had any use before Guardian was buffed, but now it's almost as worthless as Wastrel's Collapse. RitualDoll 07:47, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

while that ally is not using a skill or attacking.Who the heck does that? pure idiocy imo. how about "hexed"? BaineTheBotter 13:25, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Buff to 75% while ally is not attacking or casting a spell? --Link4all 22:12, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

While this is months too late, to answer your stupid statement (you didn't phrase it as a question) - the block would be applied while someone is kiting. Since most monk spells are less than a second to cast, a lot of your time is spent kiting AKA not attacking or casting. And being hexed has the same problem as your foe being enchanted - you have absolutely no control over it. 173.67.9.113 08:46, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Meta

This is a great counter to the current meta. All the frontliners have SoH, and many carry Conjure as well. The A/Ds have WotM, AR, etc. So, all in all, fairly good in this meta. ~~ frvwfr2 (talk · contributions) 02:31, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

That is a really astute observation sir. kudos71.203.181.122 19:47, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Meh, was spamming to try and get enough conts to vote for DE so meh. ~~ frvwfr2 (talk · contributions) 21:21, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] this skill

is new or smthing? i have never seen or heard of it o.O - which monsters use this?--88.16.232.238 18:53, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

I don't think there is a single monster in the game that uses this skill. No players use it, either. Vili 点 Expression error: Unexpected < operator

Lifeweavers use it. Kurtan 19:00, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Oh, that's a nice catch. They are in EotN, though, not NF. :\ Vili 点 Expression error: Unexpected < operator

Also Banor Greenbranch and Stone Summit Contaminators. :P – Emmett 19:12, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Also User:FleshAndFaith uses it. FleshAndFaith 00:48, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

I use it when I know I'll be facing bad players, which is always. This has virtually replaced Guardian on my bar except in high-end PvP, which is never. –Jette 09:03, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

I agree. I'm surprised how reliable this block is. It has found a place on my bar for quite a while in lower-end PvP. =) -Curin Derwin 02:53, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
