That means you ran out of energy (the blue bar on the right side).

nope, read the skill. Most all enchantments can stay active as long as it doesnt exceed the amount of pips (little arrows) of regeneration you have in your energy bar. I.E. an elementalist has 4 pips so he can maintain 4 enchantments that require upkeep.

Protective bond ends because the skill says it would if you your energy drops to zero. Other enchantments usually dont work this same way however.

Here you go::

Quote:
While you maintain this enchantment, target ally cannot take more than 5% damage at one time. When Protective Bond prevents damage, you lose 6-3 energy or the spell ends. (Costs an arrow of energy regeneration)
that means it ends if you can no longer lose energy, your energy = zero.

It's easy to farm, it just takes intuitive thinking. Take some time to think about it and you'll come up with something.

Because Anet killed that build a good while ago.

Update – Thursday, August 25
Protective Bond: Energy lost per hit increased to 6..3
You lose 6 energy at Lv.1 Prot and you'll lose 3 energy at Lv.16 Prot.

Farming - specifically with Protective Bond, mind you - is the heart of GW now?

ah hes just a naive begging farmer. its kinda sad its been this way for 2 months and he just now insulting anet for it.

figure out other ways to farm man, its still even possible to solo UW, but if you cant do griffs, you wont have enough concentration for anything.

and if your bent on using prot bond, its still possible

I'm pretty sure the question has been answered now. If you still want to farm, try searching for "farming". Otherwise, stop griefing about a skill that was nerfed a couple of months ago. We've already seen it.
