Mending is the best PvE skill in the game!

NOTE: This is NOT my opinion!

From the State of the Game— February 26, 2007.

I had no idea we all thought that - Anybody besides myself care to disagree?

I agree.....

very funny

it is great until my mesmer and or nec comes along -lol

Solo builds. Ever heard of those OP? :P

nah, you're on your own Haggard!

Oh dear, now I know what I have done wrong! Now I know how to become the uberleet and invulnerable goodlike megacharacter! I have to get mending for all my chars! I have to do it fast, before they nerf it out of the game!
Oh! Wait! I can combine it with heal area for even more power!

Seems like the editor hasen't played pve for quite some time, hum?
Or have I just been lucky not encountering the 90% of the pvepopulation using them outside of solobuilds or minions masters?

"Hailed by many" is accurate.

I agree with Adam Sunstrom.

Solo builds , anyone?

Well he ism probably right. The majority of players are ill-in formed with regards to skill and no-one suggests better skills so there is an endless mending chain throughout the wammo world.

Woah! How come noone ever told me about this skill before?


I can put this in a sweet build for my warrior

Was getting ready to protest until you mentioned MM in the bottom of your post...The only healI use less than Mending for my MM is Healing Breeze...

Hailed by too many.

If you use either mending or watchful spirit please uninstall, kthx.

there is nothing like seeing the FDS weilding, mending, wammo run right into ench. strippers and get spiked up....his counter-part the IDS weilder is fun to watch as well. (same goes for those mending dervs)

I must admit I haven't seen this spectacle in quite awhile, but neverless, ALWAYS entertaining.

Mending...that's one of those skills I never use..it's not bad but it's certainly not great.

I think I used it when I first started my Wammo...of course when I did some runs and got the mending blasted by some enchantment kill that did damage on top, it certainly was the last time I used it...call it a beginners mistake.

In reading the article where this was mentioned I suddenly understood the nerfing of skills...since it would appear we need to look at top teams to see which builds we should use (cause only a select group of builds will do), I guess the only variation you can get is by nerfing skills from time to time...nah still not interested in PvP.

Well, if you count numbers, I'm sure 55 monk bots use it, so yes, "many".

Solo builds - it works. It's an old known truth. Of course, 55 isn't really hot anymore, but it still has its uses.

Other than that, it's one of better and quite accessible skills for wammos in those starter areas.

But at least by level 10-15 you run into mobs with enchant removals, and that's a sign to find a nice replacement, or better yet, let your team handle the healing.

"Hailed by many"
Many play wammos ^^

Another Mending thread.... :sigh:

Here's the massive Mending thread, for anyone else who wants to debate this until their eyes bleed...

As I posted in that thread...

I use Mending quite often on my W/Mo, and do quite well with it (especially when I am soloing without henchmen).

Here are what I see the pros and cons of Mending:

CONS:

1. Monk healing is a much better use of energy than is Mending. No doubts about that.

2. Mending can be shattered/removed.

3. Mending causes warriors to take attribute points out of either their weapon, tactics or strength attributes.

4. Healing Signet is a much quicker and efficient way to self-heal, especially when not being targeted.

PROS:

1. Mending is a passive heal. That is, you gain the benefit from it without having to pause your current action.

2. Because Mending is a passive heal, it cannot be interrupted, unlike Healing Signet.

3. Mending also works while you're being targeted, unlike Healing Signet, whose -40 armor penalty may largely offset the healing benefit.

4. If you are running an adrenaline warrior build and rely very little on energy, the energy loss from Mending has very little impact to a warrior.

So, in short, Mending isn't "godly" by any stretch of the imagination. But, as I've said many times, it definitely has a use in PvE (other than running). To summarily dismiss its use as being "garbage" is a bit naive, IMO.
