Talk:Conviction

This makes me so happy. Continuous, unconditional protection or regen, depending on how you manipulate it. A truly wonderful skill. Arshay Duskbrow 07:46, 26 September 2006 (CDT)

SUPERMENDING!!!!11

where can you obtain this skill? anyone know?

Just unlock it at a Priest of Balthazar and buy it at any town in nightfall. That's how I get all of my skills when I'm not far enough to buy them from the first skills trainer.

One of the best skills ever for enchantment users
Being its a stance, it just makes it that much more effective on casters. -- &middot;&middot;&middot;&raquo; Life Infusion &middot;&middot;&middot; 10:15, 24 December 2006 (CST)

This skill is great. I now use it when I mm. AotL will keep me lovin the extra armor when enchanted :D P A R A S I T I C 01:20, 29 December 2006 (CST)

Screw enchantments... is that a self-heal stance I see here? Granted, not a big regen bonus, but very hard to remove and impossible to stop. Me likey. Jioruji Derako 03:48, 30 December 2006 (CST)
 * Wild Blow, Wild Strike, Wild Throw. Granted that is about 3 skills out of over a 1000. -- &middot;&middot;&middot;&raquo; Life Infusion &middot;&middot;&middot; 23:03, 13 January 2007 (CST)
 * Yep, three skills. There aren't many ways to end it.  But the instant use, +3 regen lasting for 23 seconds at 8 earth is quite tempting.  Also, I'd like to point out that there are other stances that can make this one not as useful in combat.

Hero Behaviour
I'm not sure if it has been mentioned already; or whether it's common knowledge; but I thought I should point out that, currently, hero AI doesn't quite use this skill as the perpetual stance it's mostly used as by players. It seems they simply seem to trigger it when health is low, like any other defensive stance. Kind of disappointing: I was hoping for a constant stance to use those 15%(Stance) weapons and attacks such as standing slash on heroes. --203.121.196.175 09:57, 14 March 2007 (CDT)

Another point to make: They'll *only* use it when they're enchanted. Perhaps obvious, but nevertheless, it also had a use without enchants --203.121.196.175 09:44, 22 March 2007 (CDT)

Enchantment Removal
If you have one Enchantment, then it gets removed (or ends), but the stands is still active, does it change from +24 Armor to +1..3 Health regen? How about the other way around, you use the stance then Enchant yourself.. Would you lost the Health regen and instead gain armor? Someone please clarify. :: MagickElf666 19:01, 25 March 2007 (CDT) ::
 * Exactly as you described. In that manner, it works the same way as Melandru's Resilience. --220.233.103.77 19:15, 25 March 2007 (CDT)

Kamadan?
When I went about acquiring this skill, I did not have it unlocked, and it did not appear on the list of skills offered by Tohn. Count Coolio 19:26, 28 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Yeah, people keep adding skills they've already unlocked, so it gets to be quite a chore in reverting their work. Looks like this one was added recently too. --Kale Ironfist 19:54, 28 April 2007 (CDT)

Teh Name
Doesn't make a whole lot of sense. What does "conviction" have to do with extra armor/regen. Seb2net 20:48, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Conviction can grant a person the strength to do that which they normally would find difficult or impossible. I guess extra armor and life regeneration are a way of reflecting that.

In my opinion, this is the most overated skill in the entire world, +24 armor? what is that gonna do, its just a waste of a skill. Ranger Hasy 17:48, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * The difference between casters and warriors plus 4? &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png]] Warw/Wick 17:51, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * The armor boost is not devided among all armor pieces, to grant an Caster an armor boost similar to a Warrior one would need +100 armor (armor without insignias) -- Oremir
 * All pieces of the armor gain +24 with this... --Shadowcrest  18:05, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * It sounds like you contradicted yourself there... Bonus armor from skills is applied to all damage the character takes (except armor-ignoring damage, of course), so the single +24 from Conviction is as if you had a "Rune of Kevlar" on every armor piece that gave +24 armor.  A monk wearing 60 AR armor that uses Conviction would have a total of 84 AR, which is 4 more than the 80 AR on warrior armor, as Warwick pointed out.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 18:11, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
