Selfless Spirit 5|1/4|60 Enchantment Spell.
Let's admit I have Allegiance rank 6 (1.200.000 faction, 30 hours in fff), so:
For 15 seconds, spells you cast that target an ally cost 5 less energy. This enchantment ends if you cast a spell on yourself.
Great? Hmmm. Compare with GoLE 5|1|30. At 0 Energy Storage: For the next 15 seconds, your next 2 Spells cost 10 less Energy to cast.
At 60s GoLE: +30 energy.
That Selfless Spirit has made as much, for 15 seconds it is necessary to make 6 spells. So much?! Thus to watch, that any has not been directed on itself. That is, no "Heal Party" or LoD.
After about 5 days farming faction, we have piece of shit, but good spell. Where is my mistake?

Very curious because that would mean 3000 lut runs / jade arena in 30 hours, or 100 per hour (2 runs a min?). If that's possible, I'll definitely be up for getting those ranks to 7+.

Also, it's meant to be a spell you can cast while not taking damage. That way, you can spam RoF, guardian, and WoH on the targets taking damage, and getting in about 9-10 casts during that 18 (with ench mod) second timeframe. I've tried it but didn't like it, but I'd imagine in a good scenario (along with 8+ ranks in luxon/kurzick), it can save 50+ energy every minute easily.

About farming: I use fff, about 16k faction/hour (with getting in Guild Hall), that is 32k faction transfer, so Faction allegiance title track 6 may make for 1200000/32000~37 hours. It's possible more faster, less 30 hours, I know some tricks.
I'm pure healer, that is LoD or more often, healer's boon: Healer's boon - Ethereal Light - DKiss - Cure Hex - Heal Party - Seed of Life (I have 10 sunspear rank, preferably for minions) - anything for ressurection. I dislike hybrid monk (healer/prot) and very seldom play as prot. And as prot I cannot use Aegis, because from divine favor triggering.
So, as healer or prot I cannot use any party spells. It's very bad!
I understand, that 12 allegiance rank (20 sek selfless spirit) is great. But more than 300 hours for farming this rank is full crazy, IMHO.

[wiki]Selfless Spirit[/wiki] is ja much better version of [skill]Divine Spirit[/skill] although it doesn't power Deny Hexes.

It works pretty well in combination with [skill]Glyph Of Renewal[/skill] since it makes [skill]Reversal Of Fortune[/skill], [skill]Mend Condition[/skill] and [skill]Dwayna's Kiss[/skill] free while allowing you to use stuff like [skill]Spirit Bond[/skill] and [skill]Heal Other[/skill] liberally. It's one of the better options for a red-barring monk but overall doesn't do as well as a WoH hybrid.
