Talk:Ray of Judgment

I've captured this from a random boss on the mission after the Enternal Grove. I don't remember the name of the boss so I won't add it... if I do the mission again and find him I'll write it down. Alxa 11:51, 1 May 2006 (CDT)

As far as I know, all the afflicted bosses of the same profession have the exacct same elite skill. So the Afflicted Monk boss in Unwaking Waters would definitely have this. --Kit Engel 11:19, 15 May 2006 (CDT)

Ray of Judgment vs Signet of Judgment
Ray of Judgment does about 25-30 more damage than Signet of Judgment depending on the number of points in Smiting (which is about 40% more damage), and it does extra burning damage against animated undead, but it disables non-smiting skills for 10 seconds. Signet of Judgment knocks down the target, costs 15 less energy, has a 5 second shorter recharge, can have it's recharge cut nearly in half using Mantra of Inscriptions, and is immune to energy-denial. Personally, I would rather take Signet of Judgment, unless I knew I was going up against a minion master. Am I the only one? --Tjoneil 23:41, 19 May 2006 (CDT)

In typical situations, signet is clearly the wiser choice. However, since Ray is a spell, it gains a slight advantage with a potential halved casting/recharge rate. With the influx of new anti-signet spells, like Icy Prism, ray of judgement might find itself in a sideboard. In general, it's more of a fun novelty skill than a cornerstone elite. It's effectiveness shows in alliance battles, which frequently feature minion masters. -- Sinborn 22:15. 19 May 19 2006 (CDT)

Ray of Judgment can be copied with Arcane Echo. If you Arcane Echo Ray of Judgment and cast both on a group of undead creatures (for example the awakened in Desolation in elona) you will most likely kill all of them. Not tested --- Arthas 14:27, 10 April 2007

That would be 15 energy from Arcane Echo, 15 energy from Ray of Judgment and another 15 energy from Ray of Judgment, so 45 energy for a Mo/Me or Me/Mo... Quite energy intensive, I wouldn;t use this actually... &mdash;Sig mA   08:21, 10 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Toss in Auspicious Incantation, even with low Inspiration, before the Arcane Echo for a free Arcane Echo (and extra energy if your pool wasn't full already. It won't increase the disable on anything (so long as you cast a spell after AE).  Anyway, I'd improve this idea by suggesting SoJ with Mantra of Signets---only 15E for your double punch. --69.237.68.225 02:10, 26 June 2007 (CDT)

Usage notes overly obvious.
Im sorry but do we really need to tell people that echoing the spell does double damage? Yes its true, but its also blindingly obvious. Ive always thought of usage notes as tips on use that arent quite so obvious or more complicated (like using an ally to inflict bleeding then casting fragility followed by virulence followed up by epidemic). Dont get me wrong tips are good but to me this is on par with saying that gash works better if you use sever artery first.--TypoNinja 00:25, 1 June 2006 (CDT)

Consider using with a group en masse as a spike, you'd only need 5 monks w/ 16 smiting to... drop someone dead, if timed right. And only with one skill (By all.), in comparison to blood spikes (Needs 8 people) and ranger spikes (...I lol'd!). This is a very powerful spike skill in my book, but echoing it doesn't seem a viable idea except perhaps in AB, where it'd drain 45 points of energy in a matter of seconds. Owwwww... Kamahl 10:05, 2 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Wasting 5 elite slots for 1 Spike/each 30 seconds? IMO it`s stupid, spike groups rely on spiking the fastest way possible (5-8 seconds/spike). And adjacent isn`t large area, so it won`t help much (except Oppresive Gaze for blood spike, as it can be cast each 7 seconds and may mislead Infuser). --Nivrax 11:42, 2 October 2006 (CDT)


 * You'll see. You'll all see the power this elite bears. What do blood spike groups do? Oh right waste 8 player slots to take down one foe. This only takes 5 players, and so long as your team doesn't suffer losses in HA, who cares about the recharge? You can keep up pressure with Banish, Smite, and Spear of Light while it's pouring back together. I think it's dumb to waste 8 slots when your defense becomes wretchedly horrid. Plus with the new 6 man HA, this'll only take 4 players and still almost always provide an instant-kill, with no additional spells needed. Let's see, 4 Smiting monks bringing heal area and karei's circle... ball build? 71.68.110.118 14:48, 11 October 2006 (CDT)


 * Except the smiters can't do anything but smite due to the recharge. Effectively anyway. Why not use a Moa Spike then? FYI Holy Strike does almost as much damage, has a duplicate, and is not an elite. Have a galer, and 4-5 spikers. AoD/shadowwalk/death's charge to the target, Holy Strike. They are dead. If they aren't Stone Soul Strike again. I don't think they can infuse 1100 damage in 2 seconds. And, ooo, look at the recharge. GG.--Silk Weaker 04:32, 3 November 2006 (CST)

Total damage maths
"This is particularly helpful in Alliance Battles where Minion Masters are very common. This could potentially do (at 16 Smiting Prayers) 220 damage + burning for 9 seconds (126 damage) = 346 damage to each minion."

I realize it says' potentially', but I think an important distinction is that most often, it will deal far, far less burning damage: Minions are typically running at quite high degen, and with Verata's Sacrifice nerfed, most of the time, you won't add much, if any, damage at all through burning degen, making that effect largely useless. Merengue 17:06, 16 October 2006 (CDT)


 * Acutally Merengue, given the rapid rebirth of minions in Alliance Battles, I'd say that the burning adds quite a bit of

damage.--Ryudo 02:38, 5 December 2006 (CST)

why is this elite ?
 * because it deals the highest damage(unconditionally) of any smiting skill.--Coloneh RIP[[Image:Coloneh.png]] 02:11, 1 January 2007 (CST)

Why does someone post to bring epidemic? It disables epidemic for 10 seconds and burning lasts 10 secs max....

There are 7 other party members, I'm sure somebody could bring Epidemic. The Hobo 18:15, 2 March 2007 (CST)

Needs buff, fast.
Light of Deldrimor so pwn's Ray of Judgment and it's not elite. Yes, I know, it is "hard" to raise your Deldrimor Title Track compared to raising points in Smiting Prayers. But srsly, this needs a buff. Something like: burning for 1...3 seconds unconditional, and an additional 3...8 seconds if it hits an Undead or minion or whatever. Basically, change it to be like the new Spirit Burn, but AoE and Holy damage. (T/C) 15:05, 9 September 2007 (CDT)
 * Light of Deldrimor requires you to be in the middle of the fight, cannot be powered by runes - and cannot be used in PvP. However, I would say, SoJ pwns both of them :) --Jorx 01:03, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes Ray of Judgment needs buffed. But comparing it to any PvE only skill is useless as these skills are generally overpowered (even without the poorly conceived title potency).  --Mooseyfate 13:02, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

I seriously agree, this skill needs a huuuge buff, but then if they buff it too much or in some odd way, they risk making it too good, and making a new type of spike for PvP teams... But yea, it needs a buff of some type. Perhaps, also KD minions/spirits. (IDEA!) Perhaps blind! I mean, you are sending a ray of light at someone. If you shine a flashlight into someone's eyes they usually cant see for at least a second, same thing here, just on a Much bigger scale.--71.67.243.230 05:41, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

 * The developer notes refer to this skill as an elite Holy Wrath, but it is important to note that Ray of Judgment requires an enemy target and manifests itself at the foe's location, not at the caster's, thereby mimicking skills like Fire Storm more rigidly than Holy Wrath.

 * It seems to be true in easy mode, but then again, scatter in easy mode is erratic at best. I'll try it in normal mode for 600/Smite/Feel the pain sometime. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 09:34, 14 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I have done this in both easy and hardmode and it doesn't cause scatter. So, it is interesting but I think the relatively small amount of damage will keep it from becoming huge with farming. I wonder how it might do with things like glowing gaze to restore energy though. Edit, still being wiki I will provide proof. Was so busy trying to get screen shots I ended up dieing.

 * If the mob doesn't scatter from RoJ, then multiple players can use this skill at the same time for a huge spike...if that doesn't scatter the mob away, then this might work in DoA or other farming areas. Smiteway. Light out 09:32, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees! The result I was hoping for!! Shards of Orr HM, anyone? I'll be right back... King Neoterikos 10:22, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
 * That's ironic, since this was already used in SoO before the change to cause a huge spike and basically zap the Undead in one blow. Now you'll need a Perma or something to tank and gather all the mobs for you. Anyway, EBSoH and Intensity and "By Ural's Hammer!" would give more damage.

I'm using Ray of Judgment on the big Skale mob in Fahranur, the First City, and they definitely scatter. Smaller groups do not, however. It's similar to the behavior with Shield of Judgment. 08:40, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Well I didn't fake that picture. True I never had more than 7 or so in a group at once, but the ones that were there all just stood around and took it. Could it have been a stealth nerf?

 * The scatter you're talking about is not actually AoE scatter. It's what I like to call the "retreat tactic", which is only present in Hard Mode (they removed it from NM when they introduced loot-scaling). Whenever a foe takes too much damage (be it AoE or otherwise) and there's 3 or more foes attacking you, that foe runs out to regenerate. If more than one foe is taking a lot of damage, they take turns regenerating, but there's always 3 monsters attacking you. This only goes for melee mobs, casters have other tactics and rangers have none. AoE scatter on the other hand is caused by AoE skills (duh) and is present in both NM and HM. You can see it's different because the foes don't actually run away to regenerate, they just run away from the AoE source and return when the AoE is gone (which happens within a few seconds as opposed to the time it takes to regenerate). Also, unlike the "retreat tactic", ALL of them run away. I've tested this in NM and HM on trolls outside droks and raptors outside rata sum using various AoE skills (Symbol of Wrath, Snow Storm and Lava Font). All of these skills cause AoE scatter in both NM and HM. Ray of Judgment, however, doesn't cause AoE scatter in either NM or HM, but it still triggers the "retreat tactic" in HM, which resembles AoE scatter but is not the same. I think they forgot to flag this skill as AoE. 195.169.206.211 22:15, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I am just hoping that instead of a bug, they decided that smiters should be something more than a joke. I think that by adding this they have made it so monks are more than just lifeless healing machines. If it is a bug, well it won't be the first or last.

Well not really, but I wish real monks would return to AB. It's gotten to the point where I assume a PUG monk is carrying ROJ. Lazuli 17:32, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * It does get rather tiring not being able to ever get a real monk anymore. Even outside of AB, it seems like every PUG monk is a smiter now. :\ Although of course there it don't bother me so much since I've got handy monk hero/hench always available, but still... Someday, if they ever gave Warriors a skill that let them be effective healers, like "Strength's Boon" or something, you can bet that's suddenly all you'd see for a long time. I hope the novelty wears off soon and people realize it's kind of important to the success of the team to have those redbars going up. :\ (The main problem is that RoJ is just a good skill period, especially with the AoE bug, there is no real reason to replace it or not use it...heck, have you seen the RoJ Wammos? 12 smiting, 12 swords or whatever...) [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 02:39, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm also not a fan of how Elementalists are now obsolete. Ok, that's an exaggeration because ROJ is a tiny aoe and quite easy to spot.  But this skill could do with a slightly higher energy cost and recharge.  Energy should be tight on Monks, after all. Lazuli  02:56, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Energy is pretty tight if you're using Arcane Echo - that's 35 energy, and most normal Monk have an energy max of 35 anyway. Castigation Signet gives back enough for one RoJ. Other than that you'd be relying on stuff like Inspiration Magic for pdrain or something - but that's not really related to RoJ.
 * I also beg to differ that eles are obsolete - the AoE difference is very important, not for the shrine NPCs necessarily but just in general. Meteor Shower is also a useful thing. RoJ monks don't usually have much spec left over for self-defensive or healing skills either, while an ele has plenty of possible points for some type of defense, or speedbuff, or whatever. And that's just talking about Fire Magic. :) [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 03:25, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * You're right, of course. I still rock out with my Ele in AB, largely for the reasons you detailed.  I'm mainly just QQing, as the expression goes.  And as far as PVE goes, Elementalists have been obsolete for a while (HM).  Lazuli  04:19, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * You need to start smacking the Monks you find then o_O. Or bring some of your own. I guess I just haven't noticed it because I have exactly zero faith in a PuG regardless of what it is I'm setting out to do. (Though I will admit, I RoJ, but only in PvE, and it's not the main thing my monk does. Gogo Healer's Boon!) Skippster 05:55, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

I agree, this should have some level of restraint. With every Monk in ABs and CMs running RoJ instead of healing or protting (or both), everything is just which team can killwipe the others plus NPCs faster. Although if I were Anet, this wouldn't get nerfed one bit; everything else would be buffed!Konradishes 06:47, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * If every monk is running RoJ, why don't you fake them out and bring... a healer! *gasp* Since the other team has an RoJ instead of a normal monk, you'll kill them while your team stays alive. The only way a normal monk wouldn't be able to outheal 2 RoJ's (by way of echoing) is if your teammate doesn't see that massive bright blue column of light and moves out of it. All Anet needs to do is make it cause AoE scatter for the AI. --Macros 07:41, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
