Skills - Mending
Makkert
I'll be honest. I came to visit this thread expecting it would put a smirk on my face somewhere. I didn't expect it to cause the riot of laughter it does now.

Worst, you speak as a really snobbish arrogant selfish bossing Monk (but's there's already another thread about it). Wow. Just wow. That is really....loud. Thanks for the laugh. As for comment on this content, I'll simply point to the previous posters, that will do fine. vvh
Whoa, I don't understand how can people not see the light here. Just because you can farm griffons and trolls with mending in PvE doesn't mean it's a UBER 1337 skill in PvP. Plain and simple. Frog devourer is trying to be positive and polite here but people just don't seem to get it. All I can say is, if people want to use a bad skill, let them use it.
While all you mending warrior were farming griffons, I was busy farming your people in CA for factions. 6000 more factions and I am done with unlocking skillz. Divinus Stella

mending has saved my life in balanced stand offs with W/E or W/N in the past.
At that point you just lost the argument. |
1.5mil exp and you still go into wammo paladin duel mode in pvp with mending on. yesitsrob
I'm having a really awful day here at uni - so I decided to read this thread, it has put a real smile on my face, thank you.
And on FrogDevourer - he is an extremely friendly person and not one bit arrogant. Not only that, he's very correct Just look at the maths behind it, it doesn't take Einstein to see it's not a good skill. Pros: i - it can be useful for running - though I'd watch out for the mesmers who will happily shatter it for about 100 damage. ii - you're crap and incapable of switching your vampiriic weapon off - I'll be honest - I do this.. a lot, or I forget to switch it back on, but I don't triple my embarrestment by switching mending on and waste a valuable skill slot. iii - 55 monk builds, I can see why it's useful because it heals a decent percentage of your energy then and loses it's negative of being a slow healer. I've not actually tried one of these monks for pve tanking I can think of better ways of preventing damage - pretty much any stance with evasion, watch yourself, or for the case of W/E armor of earth - or hell, just a monk to back you up like Alessia - but in pve it doesn't really matter what you use anyway.

Do any of you even play the game as a W/Mo using a vamp wep and also need a constant enchantment for the -2damage and 45+hp from a shield?
Im sorry I just cant concede that using a vamp mod without some sort of counter is using it like a pro...infact I would say opposite...its just not good sense to have -1 hp degen no matter in PvE or PvP and its not skill being having to switch them constantly its just stupid. Of course and I said this before that I do switch between a vamp and zealous sword during battle etc depending on my needs and I dont think this is a difficult consept for people to grasp so why go on about it....its just your opinion that you dont need to use a healing enchantment to counter the health degen....because maybe you dont have one?? I see alot of avitars that look as if you come from the same guild or something so naturaly you will stick together...and yep from frogs reply I dont think he was being arrogant..... it just came across that way... so sorry to the Frog simple fact is Ive heard all your arguments before and I havent stopped using mending for another enchantment.....why?...because none of you have told me a better one to use and the reasons why? Lastly and here is more important.... Im not a pro but no noob either and I come to these forums to learn and I have changed a few peoples minds about these klinds of things in the past.... do you know I was called a noob by some pretty experienced people for being one of the first to notice that chests in Sorrows drop all gold or all purple items but never a mix?... I mean cmon there are always people who think they know what makes a good player or not and dont agree with something based on their experience, but maybe it was because they didnt use the skill correctly or to the best use.... or they just think they know it all.

Why some people only think that W/Mo's use mending for farming in PVE.
I use mending in PVE for teamwork, just as I explained....... Mending to stay alive lot longer so when I use healing breeze it doesnt matter that im under attack, but I still can ressurect my party members... Bonettis defense keep my energy full, so even in PVE its a good teamwork skill. In PVP I think for a warrior using mending with -1 energy degen its totally useless. Maybe PVP mending is good to use as you are a monk, but I hate the -1 energy degen..... Makkert

Its written by FrogDevourer, and one of the reasons that this made me laugh so much. Frog knows a thing or two on this matter .
As you can see, the vamp on its own should be enough to offset a -
hp/sec, because all warrior max vamp weapons are above 2hp/sec. With IAS this becomes better. But vampiric is not a mod to gain life. Its a mod to dish out damage (to be precise: lifesteal). The natural counter when you are blinded is switching to a secondary non-vampiric weapon. Putting points in healing to keep a vampiric weapon is strange reasoning. As for the shield: there are other shields (stance i.e.) as well. So it is your choice to have such a shield. The combination you describe is great for a runner though. If you read the comments carefully, you'll see we that we see mending as skill with a limited spectrum of use, but some use it has.

Quote: Of course and I said this before that I do switch between a vamp and zealous sword during battle etc depending on my needs and I dont think this is a difficult consept for people to grasp so why go on about it.... hmm. that will keep you on either - 1 energy or -1 hpregen if you are hindered in your attack. recommend a non-zealous, non-vamp weapon also.

Yeah, well it was just to big of a contrast. He never did anything but trying to explain things, and was called arogant for it. That also made me laugh. Since when is making sensible argumentation arrogant? Make a counterargument and discuss intelligently, calling him arrogant is a very weak argument to your opinion. As for 'backing up': if one of my guildmates makes an argument i don't agree with, I have yet not been afraid to let him know that. And that works vice versa as well. Quote:
