Best res?
Giga Strike
Which res is the best? i think the best one is "restore life" because it brings back and ally with more energy and hp than any other res while still being reusable, this allows them to get back to the fight asap.
Terra Xin
Res Sig is the best one in the game.
My second fav is Rebirth for PvE, especially in tight situations where you don't want to agro too many mobs
And then yeah, i'd probrably go with restore life.
In most PvE instances, having one guy with restore life and another few with rebirth will make ressing a little more efficient.

You forgot Unyielding Aura, which I think is the best rez.
Dead serious.
Compare it to the other reusable/permenent resses (res sig is basically the only worthwhile PvP res, and being not reusable, its not effective in PvE compared to the others)
Unyielding Aura has the best cast time
Unyielding Aura has the best energy cost
Unyielding Aura has the best health return
Unyielding Aura has the best energy return
Unyielding Aura has full range
Rebirth has the best recharge
Light of Dwayna, Restoration, and Lively was Naomei res the most allies
Wow. In addition, Unyielding has the added bonus of shielding oyu team from all dp, however this is countered by the fact that if the caster runs out of energy or its removed, everyone dies.

res chant, same health as you (at the end of the cast), and im liking flesh of my flesh too.
rebirth is handy for near wipeout...

Rebirth. Saved PUGS in countless missions. Nothing better then being the last guy standing taking off and resing from a safe spot. So yeah rebirth FTW
Terra Xin
Unyielding Aura is an elite that can only be used by monks... I'm certain there are more effective elites out there.
To make a correction: Rebirth, Resurrection Chant and Flesh of My Flesh have the same recharge.
Flesh of My Flesh and Unyielding Aura cost 5 energy
Unyielding Aura and Vengeance have equal Health and Energy replenishment
Unyielding Aura, Flesh of My Flesh, Resurrect, Rebirth and Vengeance have equal range.
Unyielding Aura and Resurrection Signet have equal cast time.

Rebirth is a nice res and all, but it irritates me when over half the team in PvE has it, specificly tombs B/P teams and such. When someone dies mid-fight, it's really good to have a way to get them up without the drawbacks of rebirth. I take res-chat whenever I play an E/Mo or Me/Mo in PvE, often on a monk as well (altough that sees rare use).

Flesh of my Flesh...
Poison Ivy
Ressurection Chant, normally my choice for high end pvp.

I call unyielding aura "pay for fake rez", or "zombinize"; not really a rez.
Flesh of my flesh is the best in my opinion. To get those health back is quite easy if your team is any good, while the cast time and energy return are both quite good. It is also harder to tell from normal rit spell in the casting animation aura comparing to ressurection chant.
glyph sac + rez chant got a few down side... one being it use 2 slots (which really isn't fair compare to other rez, when other rez only get to use 1 skill).
rebirth no doubt own PvE, but not in mid combat, and if you can rez in mid combat with FomF, then you wouldn't need rebirth. (with decent pulling too)
Restore life... meh
vengeance share the same fate with unyielding aura.
Pretty much all the AoE rez are not very controllable, most of the time you only get 1 extra rez; they need to give AoE rez an AoE buff. Do people tell others to die right next to each other?

I'd have to say Rebirth as it saves many hopeless and not so hopeless PuGs.
Skuld
Res signet or Glyph of Sacrifice + Chant.
PanGammon
Agreeing with the glyph chant combo. Has to be the ultimate PvP rez. Though for PvE I'd have to go with Rebirth to say those PUGs.
EPO Bot
Naomei is nice to cast at a safe distance and then drop on top of your dead henchies.
Giga Strike
personally i don't like rebirth that much. cuts off all ur skills and drains ur energy. not good for pvp.
it good for pve though, monsters are too stupid to chase you very far.

Pick Me
To me Rebirth. It takes parties out of aggro to heal up and regain energy.
Ressurection Chant is great for in-combat situations (where death is not an option).

That new No Attribute Signet for Ritualists looks kind of neat; The Death Pact Signet.
It ressurects target ally with your current health and mana, 2 seconds of cast and 8 recharge. However, if they die, so do you!

i think we can all agree that rebirth is one of the best for pve when monsters dont care about u if ur outside of thier aggro.
the best for pvp would be either res chant or restore life, since they bring the ally back with a fair amount and dont kill u or ur effectiveness.

CrispyCritter
Actually I prefer Ressurect for PvP, since Res Chant and Restore Life just take too long to cast unless you have stupidly high Fast Casting.
Former Ruling
Rez Sig.
For Hard Rezes:
Rebirth in PvE
Rez Chant on a Mesmer
Rez Chant with Glyph of Sac on an Ele
Ressurect if you have to put it on anything else.
This is generally what is used.

You forgot Unyiwelding Aura is a elite.
You forgot Unyiewlding Aura is a enchantment and if its removed the person dies.
And I forgot how to spell UA lol.
Vladmir Mironov
I think it depends on what 'role' you're playing in the group and what build you're using.

ua is just like a neco minion- ur not really alive or dead, your just able to move around and attack. Your existence is not guarenteed

pvp:
- res sig
pve:
- res sig (it's so easy to get a moral boost - thus new res sig - in canthia)
you can even use it mid-battle. there is alway a boss somewhere near.
i hate it when ppl dont res even when they're 2 vs 10 mobs...whatever.
- Rebirth
for a well trained team that can survive 1 bad aggro...
in tyria it's better to have a hard res.

I'm really liking Signet of Return + "We Shall Return" for the Paragon. Depending on how many allies are in the shout area, I can rez somone with about 3/4 health and half of their energy. If someone gets their signet off before me (or if I get interrupted), "We shall Return" gives much more extra energy than any of the other resurrections, which is something rez skills lack.
mega_jamie
I think its impossible to judge...
Rebirth is a must imo for FoW/UW teams
Flesh of My Flesh will rez a 55er in duos if you can handle being say N/Rt instead of N/Me
and then other spells have a use in other times.
Personally my most used is Rebirth, since it offers better surviveability for the rez'd member

Resurrection Chant in PvE (100% life rezz, 0 recharge time!), takes long to cast but still better than anything else

Yeah, Signet of Return + "We Shall Return" was an incredibly useful combo for the arenas for me during the preview. But "We Shall Return" with any resurrect is fine for me.
"We Shall Return!" + Fast Cast ~3.5 second Resurrect is probably going to become the hard rez of choice. It's quick, it's easy, your ally comes back with a huge chunk of health and energy, and they're ready for action in no time at all, and you can do it from a distance. (Particularly because only 1 paragon needs to have it to make use of it, spreading the skill slot burden around.)

Yes, its brilliant to resurrect a bunch of people who just died to several enemies (who, by some strange co-incidence, are still standing there) with no energy and barely enough life to run away! Try Vengeance instead next time.

for PvP res sig is the only worthwhile res, in PvE res chant+20/20 wand+offhand is the best combo as it brings ally back with your life and decent mana and thus can be ressed in mid combat... rebirth can come in handy if someone rushes off and dies or something but it drains your energy and blacks you out and your ally comes back with only 25% health and no energy at all...

I am pretty sure their face are " (-.-) " as in "whatever, just die again, I got nothing better to do anyway".

Wow. In addition, Unyielding has the added bonus of shielding oyu team from all dp, however this is countered by the fact that if the caster runs out of energy or its removed, everyone dies. Dont forget, UA gives NO DEATH PENALTY! Plus the fact that it can be removed and reapplied on a friendly Elementalist, when his energy is low and his exhaustion is high. UA can remove exhaustion on demand....
Neway, my opinion is there is no BEST ress, just different ones in different situations. For defeating Shiro for instance, best ress is a Sig, cos it recharges every time you kill his summons.
On the other hand, Rebirth can be used very succesfully to teleport party members to locations, as used in Dunes Bonus.
On my fastcasting Ressmer, i like to pack normal Resurrect spell, she singlehandedly kept the team alive (well they died and ressed again) during a flood attack in the Eternal Grove mission. I think every party member had died over 20 times, save for my Ressmer, which continuously revived them. The Juggernauts took care of the mobs. ^^
