Favorite Resurrection Skill?

In PvE, team members rarely die. If they do, you're doing something wrong - fix it.

Carrying a rez skill says "I expect this team to fail". There's so much info available on wiki, that there is no reason to go out unprepared and with the expectation of failing. And therefore no reason to take a rez skill.

If sh*t happens... run away, then come back when aggro gone and use a Rez scroll (only if the party is going to get kicked out of the area on a wipe)

Otherwise... just let the party wipe, rez at shrine... then either use DP-removal cons and carry on (but this time don't do the same stupid thing that got the party wiped)... or restart and change to builds more appropriate to the area.

Rez = wasted skill slot

But if I had to choose, it would be the Sunspear signet. As far as being a monk. Are you saying that if party members die it's the monks fault? all too often i've been in parties where the players and even the AI are being stupid and run to either a mob we don't have to kill (such as happened last night in the ring of fire mission) or the AI all of a sudden decides it has a mind of it's own. You can't help those people. And there are other times as a monk where the party has done an amazing job allowing me to monk very very well, the only death being me because i decided i wanted the gold and set off some traps in the UW =/ my bad . No one else died in that run. So if one or two people especially the monks carry the rez it should be one that is for that area. Either Rebirth on one monk for those far away rezzes and a different rez on the other monk. Flesh of my flesh on another character. I like renew life also.

I don't understand the "monks shouldn't have a res skill thing" since most monks are all heal and little or no protection/damage reduction. Silly to have 6-8 skills that all do the same basic thing. Well because that little rule doesn't come from monks that use HB, it comes from WoH/Prot monks that are actually good and need that extra slot, which in most cases, will save someone from dying in the 1st place

Also in PvP if a monk is rezing, hes not healing and someone else dies, so its pointless for pvp monks to have a rez

Monks never carry a res, ever. Unyielding Aura is a res best carried by Monks - and it's the best res in-game, too.

Second best hard res is Death Pact Signet. Casts fast, high health, high energy, is very unlikely to lead to a wipe and recharges pretty quickly as well.

Unyielding Aura is a res best carried by Monks - and it's the best res in-game, too. UA needs to die....

UA needs to die.... Explain why.

As far as being a monk. Are you saying that if party members die it's the monks fault? No, not at all. I don't really understand why you might have thought that.

I'm saying that a properly set up team is going to kill everything, and only die rarely. You can therefore ignore the occasional death, and rely on rez scrolls... don't waste a skill slot on rez.

I say this because at this stage of the game, when everything is known and available on wikis, there's no reason for parties to be taken by surprise at every turn, and killed/wiped.

Of course, teams can still have idiots (of any profession) that will screw everything up... educating them or kick-and-restart > rez skills.

UA needs to die.... I enjoy my 300-heal from Patient Spirit/Dkiss/Cure Hex, 150 from Heal Party, and spammable full health/energy rez.

Until it's nerfed though, there's no reason not to recommend it as the best hard res in the game. Yes there is, a good monk with a basic hybrid bar can keep people up better. And if you're a decent monk you shouldn't need a rez to begin with
