A must have for all assasins. I'm an Assasin/mesmer so i constantly spam this skill in order to keep my health up in the case that i might be the temporary tank. This can also be used with Golden Lotus strike (all newbie skills) for an extra energy boost.

I'm dissapointed in this, actually. 4 sec. is pretty short, and while you can cast it pretty often, you need your time and energy in battle for many other things. I don't want to be standing there taking hits, even if it is just for 1 sec. plus aftercast. I find way of perfection to be much more useful.

Way of Perfection is in a way like Mending...it isn't a strong-enough heal IMO. You would need to Critical-hit pretty often and only then do you get healed. Sort of heals a bit every now-and-then.

I remember when Shadow Refuge lets you take 1/2 damage or have 50% to evade attacks and you get an unconditional heal at the end. That was better than it is now...now the skill sort of sucks. The duration is too short and the heal requires you to be attacking. IMO if you are healing yourself it would mean that you are taking damage and therefore should not be attacking.

For me this is the warrior's healing sig. It is incredible for a self heal and it is so versitile.

The fact its an enchantment makes it suck. In PvE you try and cast it, its either shattered instantly or interrupted. Been a spell you get a nice penalty from it.
