Talk:Unyielding Aura

.
i've written just about everything i can think of about this spell, and the only thing missing is the skill icon, which should be uploaded soon enough(many thanks to our uploaders). Nuble 16:58, 10 Jun 2005 (EST)

My what a good looking article :D 07:47, 6 Jul 2005 (EST)

oh yea, while we're at it, can someone do more tests on this skill? everything i wrote was true at time of writing, and that was some months ago. i'm afraid i haven't gotten much chance to get online lately, so some of the more obscure effects might've been changed or removed during recent updates. Nuble 04:36, 4 Aug 2005 (EST)

Hmm, I've heard that Divine Intervention will be able to stop the death from this (as well as from Vengeance). This may have been recently patched or something, so I will test this when I get the chance (unless someone gets to it first). Spectrus
 * Divine Intervention won't do a thing to prevent Unyielding Aura/Vengeance-related deaths. Read DI's description more carefully; it only prevents fatal damage, and neither UA or Vengeance cause damage, just outright kills the involved person when either spell is removed or fades. Xiu Kuro 17:39, 9 July 2006 (CDT)
 * That comment was from September of last year. DI used to prevent deaths due to UA and vengeance.  --68.142.14.86 18:16, 9 July 2006 (CDT)

Could this be useful for killing difficult bosses? Bring a Monk/Necro with this skill and send the person in to suicide, cast (Death Nova) before they die, rezz them using this, and repeat. Wuld this be effective? I was thinking, for 2 man Rotscale...Frvwfr2 12:14, 12 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Uhh, 100 damage every 15 seconds? There are much better ways of damaging stuff &mdash; Skuld  12:30, 12 July 2006 (CDT)
 * True, but a 2 man build not relying on enchantments to keep team members alive could work on Rotscale. You could throw Dwayna's sorrow on the kamikaze as well, or run a 2 man Minion Factory, and use Death nova on the minions from his corpse too. N/Mo could do that better. With no DP, a PBAOE ele would just unleash Flame Burst or whatever, then die and allow a Death nova spike.193.61.111.50 07:07, 4 September 2006 (CDT)

Is this mildly useful in PvP, where you don't have a morale boost? Even mildly? I mean, like, a GvG bonder could bring this and blessed signet and all that fun stuff. --Mgrinshpon 12:28, 15 October 2006 (CDT)

Gave this a try the other day in Thunderhead Keep with my Life Bonder. Honestly, this is incredibly underrated skill. The ability to rez to full life and in 3 second while protecting against further death penalty can't be understated. Basically allows a killed character to instantly rush into a potentially suicidal situation, possibly over and over, for a mere 5 energy every 15 seconds (and pip of regen which goes away when he dies). Of course, fully expect people to be freaked the hell out by your suicide rez :) --Infusco 13:22, 24 October 2006 (CDT)

This skill is great for Warriors at 60% DP. They have 12 (instead of 20) energy and can't hardly tank against Elemental damage (Less HP). While maintained, you could send in a Warrior to tank the 1st skills, if he/she dies just res again and repeat. Used with boon and blessed signet can help gain small amounts of energy.
 * It's even better to rez monks. Rez them at 100% energy, let them spam heals all they want, then when Unyielding Aura recharges, kill them, recast, and continue. Tycn 04:00, 10 January 2007 (CST)

"This skill is occasionally used by PvE monks to control disruptive members by literally controlling when they die. " Amazing. Baron 02:59, 28 December 2006 (CST)
 * ...sadistic monks... -Ichigo724 14:00, 4 January 2007 (CST)
 * I used to run a build based around the synergy between Unyielding and Death Nova with a Mo/N. I only used it for Alliance battles though, but its really fun to watch your entire team suicide into the enemies, and then come back to full health and energy with vengeance and unyielding!  The enemy never knew what hit them until the people started exploding...--Gigathrash 19:59, 20 May 2007 (CDT)

There's a scam around this, atleast someone showed me -- Sigm@  (talk|contribs) 14:04, 4 January 2007 (CST)

Scam Alert
I would like to know if this scam ever happened to any of you.

I was in Lion's Arch, trading, and a guy (who shall remain nameless) wanted to buy one of my green weapons. First he wanted to scam me by placing 50g intead of 50k in the trade window... of course, I'm not that new so I told him to find another sap. Then he claimed that he's in posession of the knowledge of duplicating items, and he wanted to show me, which is odd in itself, because even if such a secret existed, why would he want to tell the first stranger he meets. I just wanted to see where this is going so I agreed.

With me (and only me) in his party, he left through the gates into North Kryta Province. He then asked me to aggro the nearby tengu mobs away a bit and die. So did I. He then resurrected me using Unyielding Aura, and asked me to talk to Lionguard Riddik, the guard who stands near the gate. I did. Then he asked me to move to a spot about half radar range away. I did. Then he talked to Riddik himself, and dropped his own green weapon. He asked me to drop mine, and this is where I stopped obeying him. He then asked me nicely, and dropped more green weapons, and even 100k, but I still didn't budge. We departed peacefully, and I agreed not to report him as a scammer (though he did not admit he was trying to scam me).

So, what I *think* he wanted to do if I dropped my green is to immediately stop maintaining Unyielding Aura on me, which results in me dying. This would leave him the chance to pick up his own greens/money/armor pieces/whatever else he dropped, and even pick up *my* green weapon. This is one very effective scam against newbies, as it uses distracting actions, like talking to Riddik.

 * Not worth mentioning as a scam, if you ever fall for the "duplicating items" trick then that's just sad. Granted you were just "curious" but average player can avoid this altogether by reading the Common Scams article. 24.6.147.36 08:29, 8 January 2007 (CST)
 * I say report him. There's too many ppl around who don't know about scam articles at all. --Ineluki [[Image:"Coward!".jpg|19px]] 08:33, 8 January 2007 (CST)


 * In reply to 24.6.147.36. Just to make this clear, I did not fall for this scam, and this article is not a result of my bitterness or whatever, it's just a warn. So I totally disagree with you, i believe it worths mentioning. In fact, I think it would be appropiate to mention in the notes of the skill page that some scammers use this skill to trick your items away from you. -Adul 09:57, 8 January 2007 (CST)
 * Don't you folks customize your green weapons? I'm kind of wondering what the point in stealing a customized weapon is other than just to be mean.--216.79.146.130 15:31, 18 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I don't, for one. And that is because I might not need them, due to pwetty skins, and if they are customized, I won't even get 2k without being reported for scamming. --[[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]] -- (s)talkpage 16:29, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

 * I don't know if this should be posted here as Unyielding Aura was not used, but someone tried to scam me in a very similar way. He was in Asacalon advertising to 'double' weapons.  Curious, but expecting a scam, I agreed to follow him outside.  He walked a distance away, then told me to drop my item.  I did, knowing that I could pick it back up at any time.  Then he told me to press Alt + F4.  This was pretty much the giveaway.  I picked up my items, left, and promptly reported him to anet as a scammer.  I have not seen him since. VegaObscura 00:26, 23 January 2007 (CST)
 * meh, that ones not even bad. Bad one: assassin tells you to go outside and drop a green or item.  Assassin is aggro circle away, you think "whats the worst that can happen?" You drop green, assassin shadow steps to your location, picks up the item and disappears.  You feel bad. :[ 71.104.139.76 00:20, 2 March 2007 (CST)
 * I've had some monk do that to an entire party while in a mission. He said pay 2K or else he'll just keep taking off the aura. We just left, but we were so close to finishing the mission. I was pissed :( 69.14.230.205 13:32, 26 August 2007 (CDT)

 * Hah my sister's a scam fighter, this one time when she was doing some minipet trading for me she got the typical scam where an assassin claimed he could duplicate her minipet, she didn't believe hime for a second but went outside anyway to see what the latest 'duplication method' was anyway. So he tells her to drop it while he stands about radar range away and she literally drops it... then picks it straight back up again, she knew it was coming and just as she picked it back up the assassin had (true to form) shadow stepped to her only to find nothing to pick up, confused he rapidly logged out as my sister happily filled out the report form.

I got alt f4 scammed oce but that was back when I was a total noob. It was during wintersday a few years ago and someone said that all of the presents assigned to you would be shown if you alt f4'd. i think he was doing it to be mean and not for personal gain.

Dear GWiki Friends
Recently this skill found its major use in the form of a Rez monk in RA. Simply put, between Shield stance and blessed signet she was single handedly able to beat my team (with admittedly more DPS) through attrition. For future reference, I like Shattering Assault.
 * Dude, I played the same monk! (I think) I am bobo 02:08, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

New research proves, Monks are more evil than Assassins and Necromancers combined
So basically, you die and someone resses you with this skill... now they own your soul? What's up with that? (refering of course to their new-found ability to kill you on a whim.) I'm going to go cap this skill for all my characters now. Especially for my assassin. Minion Master, meet Puppet Master.

On a more serious note, I really do like this skill... in mid-battle, this has got to be one of the more useful resurrection skills you can get. Brings them back as fast as a res sig, full health and energy, and no worries about DP, and after the fight, you can kill them and use a normal res. On a bonder, this serves a double purpose... if your bonded teammate starts taking more damage then you can handle, whoopsie! How'd he die? I dunno! {Jioruji Derako} 05:09, 3 March 2007 (CST)

Rage quit...-- SigmA 05:46, 3 March 2007 (CST)


 * I want to see the Monk that brings this skill along as his only means of ressurection (nothing wrong with not bringing a res, but bringing just this? That's pure evil). {Jioruji Derako} 05:48, 3 March 2007 (CST)


 * I was with a monk in THK who did that once, and due to poor healing pretty soon everyone was tied to them. The genius didn't think what would happen when we met the groups of Stone Summit Heretics. RossMM 15:36, 3 March 2007 (CST)


 * Lol, now that's something I'm sorry I missed out on. {Jioruji Derako} 19:35, 3 March 2007 (CST)
 * I would most definitely bring this skill in an AB XD Cast it before the rez shrine rez...I control when that pesky MM whos attempting a solo mob dies! XD (I hate dem inexperienced ABing MM's!!!) - -S ora267 [[Image:Spiteful_Spirit.jpg|19px]] 20:01, 23 March 2007 (CDT)
 * As it is, it's useful on it's own in AB... I forget where I was reading it, but resurrections from this don't reset the respawn counter in AB... so as soon as you stop maintaining it, they res back at base. It's useful to keep a teammate in the fight, especially when you need every last man for capping a shrine... --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Jioruji Derako.> 01:36, 25 March 2007 (CDT)

Griefing
Sometimes for kicks, I'll bring a monk with this skill and find some jerk in a mission town who is all "No noobs, I am a Pro, Blah Blah" join his group, not heal anyone then res everyone and kill the whole team with like 1 minute left. I'll also bring Nature's Renewal if someone else is relying on enchantments or hexes. I know, I'm an asshole.

DP
It says full health and energy... does that mean DP is ignored? I mean.. full health technically is 100% health, not 85%, 70%, 55%, or 40%. Someone please confirm. --ChristopherRodrigues 15:30, 10 May 2007 (CDT)
 * No. All skills that refer to a percentage of health or energy respect DP.  --Fyren 15:41, 10 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Think of it as their current energy or health bar being brought to full, with any limits put on it (DP in this case) still in effect. RossMM 18:52, 11 May 2007 (CDT)

Does dp progress positively on chars who are ressed and currently acted upon by UA? eg I have 60dp when I die, get ressed with UA, continue fighting and boss dies, morale boost, do I now have 45dp? For that matter does candy change the dp in a similar manor? -C_E

Ideas
Why do I feel an urge to play a "Noob Bomber" build, similar to a minion bomber? Res them with this, put on Death Nova, then blow them up. Repeatedly. Better yet, have them take

You can be free to play a full monk using this as your Elite and they can blow themselves and their Golem up for 231 + 8 degen per Golem and 288 + 4 degen for each of their own deaths. Energy cost is easily paid for by taking two +15/-1 mods, as all energy will be regained due to Unyielding Aura. Anybody like it? --   16:40, 14 May 2007 (CDT)

 * Btw, that was me, jsut forgetting to sign. I wouldn't randomly link to someones build that I found, well I probably would...--Gigathrash 05:32, 29 June 2007 (CDT)

Bugged?
This is starting to really annoy me, as it killed my Unyielding Aura build... I believe when it resses you, you only get 25% energy, even though your energy bar *appears* to be full. Anybody wanna double check this and go smack A-Net around till they fix it? It's about the 10th Unyielding Aura bug... --   19:45, 20 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Yeah, after some tests (unintentionally, lolz), we figured that even though your energy bar is full, you couldn't cast a 10 energy spell when you had 35 energy. I'm way to lazy to go tell Anet about it, so i nominate him to do it for me!&mdash;[[Image:Cheese.jpg|50x19px]] Cheese Slaya  ( Talk ) 20:15, 20 May 2007 (CDT)


 * Notice I have 30 energy and I happen to be trying to cast a 10 energy spell, but I can't. --[[image:rollerzerris.jpg|50x19px]]   20:25, 20 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Doesn't seem as simple as coming up with 25%. With 25e max, I sacced myself to death, had a hero use UY, came up with 22e, and was able to cancel casting a 10e spell twice, so I had at least 20e.  --Fyren 00:31, 21 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Our monk said the same thing. but it happened to both us Rits.  Perhaps it only counts if you actually cast the spells? --[[image:rollerzerris.jpg|50x19px]]    00:40, 21 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Spells cost energy up front. You get the message about not enough energy as soon as you try to cast.  --Fyren 00:51, 21 May 2007 (CDT)
 * I'm aware of that. Just trying to think of some explanation, however strange, for this circumstance. --[[image:rollerzerris.jpg|50x19px]]    00:55, 21 May 2007 (CDT)

I'm confused. Maybe it has something to do witht he ashes, the server could just be confused :O&mdash; Cheese Slaya  ( Talk ) 15:17, 21 May 2007 (CDT)
 * I have had this problem quite often actually when using an item spell, with no dying involved, I sometimes try to cast a spell costing 5-10 energy while I have 15 or so, and I still get the message stating that I don't have enough energy. I wonder if it's simply a sync issue with the server, or an actual bug in the way max energy relates to current when an item spell is applied. 75.119.1.11 03:44, 19 August 2007 (CDT)

Survivor
I know it's a funny question to ask - whether you might lose your survivor title after being resurrected XD

But I'm curious about how this interacts with some very unique scenarios. If s survivor character is killed by a crusher, sulphurous fumes and other bizarre phenomena, they will not be classed as "dead" and retain their survivor title. So:

A) If they are rezzed after a "false" death with this spell do they lose their survivor title when it is deactivated and they "die" again?

B) If they are rezzed with this spell, and then beaten to death by a monster, does THAT count as a true death still?
 * Well, I see three scenarios.
 * 1) They use exclusions, thus naming specific things "non deaths". In this case, both would count, as neither is likely to be excluded.
 * 2) They do it by how you died. In this situation, dieing from the enchant removal likely wouldn't count, but dieing by monsters while enchanted would.
 * 3) They do it by whether or not it gave you DP. Since neither gives you DP, neither would count.
 * And yes, I realize I just answered nothing and still said a lot. But it would give some insight into how A-Net programs the game, which might be of some use elsewhere.  (Like for Hari-Kari Ritual) --[[image:rollerzerris.jpg|50x19px]]    13:09, 17 June 2007 (CDT)


 * This sounds fairly testable. Bring someone, have them killed, and have them check their death counter. Then let them die in whatever scenario you're testing. If their death counter goes up, that's a potential loss of Survivor right there.


 * I just tested it. I didn't bother to take screen shots, though if you need proof I can go and do it again.  I went to the crushers in Fahranur near Jokanur Diggings.  I had 71 deaths before being crushed, and 71 deaths after being crushed.  I then had Tahlkora rez me with UA.  When I made her cancel it, I still only had 71 deaths.  Then I got naked and went and let the low-level scale beat me up for a while.  When I died to them I *still* only had 71 deaths.  This suggests to me that the method of determining the /deaths count (and thus the Survivor title) is whether or not a death causes death penalty, not how the death was caused.  This could be potentially good news (albeit very situational in use) for Survivors. Kami No Kei! 21:49, 21 June 2007 (CDT)
 * That makes sense, but there's stilll a problem for survivors... how do you get this on them in the first place? they have to die first, and that already kills the survivor title, so even if UA deaths aren't really "deaths", you still lose your survivor title by dying in the first place. Tell me if I'm missing something here though.&mdash;[[Image:Cheese.jpg|50x19px]] Cheese Slaya  ( Talk ) 13:45, 22 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Answer: Instant kill deaths.  Killing them with sulfer or crushers doesn't count as a death.  Res them with unyielding aura only, and they can be as crazy as they want to be. --[[image:rollerzerris.jpg|50x19px]]    17:35, 23 June 2007 (CDT)
 * It can't just be a check for DP being applied, since deaths in Pre-Searing cause no DP but most certainly do get counted as a real death. Unless there's a second mechanic in place there that then stops DP from being applied. -Gildan Bladeborn 11:50, 29 August 2007 (CDT)
 * One way might be bringing two heroes, one saccer and one resser, and bring Death Pact Signet for yourself.. Make the saccer kill himself, and res him with DPS. Then make him sac again(so DPS kills you), and make the resser resurrect you with UA. Can someone test if this works, and if it's even worth spending two heroes.. 193.90.59.204 20:50, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Slight problem with that, though - in order to get a Ritualist primary with heroes, you'd need to get to Kaineng Center, so a fair chance of losing Survivor before then. On the other hand, in Prophs or NF to get a Rit secondary you'd have to have Ascended, thus posing the same problem of how far you'd have to play first. Other than that I'd guess it would work. Captain Yimuru 22:05, 9 November 2007 (UTC) Captain Yimuru
 * I just tested this out and it does in deed work. I figure if I pick rit as my secondary and use a tome to get death pact signet, as long as I can convince a guildie or something to come with and bring a BiPer and a monk with UA I can be as reckless as I like, provided I can keep everyone else from rezzing me.  76.217.103.115 14:37, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

It's like the old Healer's Boon, but with all monk spells and no cast speed increase. And that effect- exactly how does it resurrect that ally? Full health/energy? Unlikely. 25% health, no energy? Likely. Someone go find out! 02:41, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

 * I'm thinking rather using this skill to jump to the end of a mission, rather then back to the start. Have a runner charge through a dungeon, perhaps, or run a long area to a boss; the other party members then just need to get themselves killed (not hard to do), and bam, instantly at the end of the mission/dungeon/area. It's a pretty nasty idea; just wait until someone figures out where exactly to put it to use. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> .cнаt^  04:10, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Easy enough. Dwarven Stability, Dark Escape, Dash equals a three-skill, non-elite permanent speed boost, and half-damage for most of it as well.

 * You loose out on Shadow Form or Spell Breaker, so you probably can't run caster-heavy areas too well. But it's only fair there be a downside to the ability to teleport a party anywhere you like.
 * Right, forgot about Veil. And I was just naming a random condition removal, hehe.
 * Hell, the skills I mentioned are nearly all Shadow Arts... spec the rest into Healing Prayers and bring along Restful Breeze, maybe Spotless Soul as another condition-removal option?

With CoP it's a 1/4 sec rez with unlimited range... pretty awsomeBig Bow 05:17, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Or you could just dismiss it for an instantaneous rez with unlimited range. Actually, there is a slight delay between the end of the enchantment and the resurrection- about 3 seconds, I'd say. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 05:19, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Rebirth also has a delay between the end of the cast and the actual resurrection, so it probably uses the same mechanic. 206.132.51.139 23:16, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

idea
What happens if you cast this and then you die? The enchantment ends; do you suddenly resurrect? ...what if the entire party cast this on themselves and walked under a Crusher? (T/C) 05:22, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Indirect Healing

 * Testing on the Isle of the Nameless reveals that this skill affects the healing from Patient Spirit, so I imagine it works on other 'indirect' healing spells as well. 69.159.167.131 00:16, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Not as good as HB
Imo, its not taht great, you heal for 51% with 12 divine, have -1 pip of energy regen, and on the res note? whooo, you get to res 1 person within any range, i would rater have the extra healing and cast time so that they dont die. personaly i liked it better the other way, worked wonders with a bonding build i had. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.235.145.254 (contribs) 00:49, 9 August 2008 (UTC).

Frozen Soil
If both the player who uses Unyielding Aura and the dead party member are in the range of Frozen Soil, will it stop the casting of this skill or the resurrect effect? ــѕт. мıкε  14:08, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Probably only the res effect Razami 14:32, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Frozen Soil will not stop the resurrect effect regardless of whether the monk or the dead ally or both are in the range of the spirit. But Frozen Soil won't allow you to cast Unyielding Aura. So you have to pre-cast Unyielding Aura before coming into range of the spirit. If you decide to strip the enchantment during a battle while in range of Frozen Soil, it will resurrect a dead ally but you won't be able to cast it again until Frozen Soil dies or you move outside its range, which means your healing power will be reduced. - Joe

On a side note, it doesn't matter where the dead person is. Only the caster is affected by Frozen Soil. As with all res spells, you can res someone in FS range if you can stand far enough away from them. 75.33.219.182 18:39, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Range
Well, Ive tried getting something killed and running really really really far away. Cant seem to find a maximum range yet. As far as I can tell. It just rezes someone on your party list that is dead. Doesnt matter how far the person is from you.
 * That makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside, tbh. Unyielding Aura, even as an Elite, was one of, if not the, worst resurrects in the game, but now, it's doubtlessly the best. ــѕт.  мıкε  03:19, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * An elite res? I can't think of any situation where you can't use Rebirth or Scroll of Resurrection to get out of a bind, that justifies taking this just for res...I think it's useful for its rangelessness, but that is for abuse purposes.

 * Mo/E is a dead concept, but yeah, combine with any spell that works nicely with HB. Healing Ribbon comes to mind. And don't forget, since this is a maintained, try Holy Haste too. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 03:37, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Holy Haste would work well with it, but then you lose the bar compression of Unyielding Aura (because you can drop Rez on your bar). Just don't use Ethereal Light and get used to Dwayna's Kiss being a 1 second cast, tbh. ــѕт.  мıкε  14:21, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

 * But what would happen to PvP betrayals? :( ــѕт.  мıкε  03:34, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

well. with infinite range it becomes slightly over powered for a lot of quests. and elite dungeons. for example. u just have 1 or 2 runners run to the end of a dungeon or mission and unyield ppl back to life. also, since it rezes someone dead when u die and have it on, 2 runners can effectively infinite run through something with ease since they just die and rez at each others location. anyways, just to keep it on you is good. its not as good as the only hb, but works very similarly to the old hb enough that its probably a bit broken. also, abuse in elite dungeons like the deep, where everyone is divided, you can scrunch everyone into room 1 now and just laugh.Nibelhim 03:35, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

The ultimate self running tool?
Put this on a hero with a few speed buffs. Send them off radar and then get yourself killed. View the game through the hero's eyes and navigate to the next portal. Be careful not to step through the portal which will return the hero to your own location.

In this way, no mobs will spawn and the hero just needs to res you at the other end. I've noticed that I cannot cancel the enchantment unless I return to my own body, but other than that, there does not seem to be any issues. Phineas 21:01, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

 * I ran Jora through Talmark Wilderness where there should have been a lot of fire imps but as I never went near that area the mobs never spawned. As an addendum to what I said up there, this could also work well with boss running. I agree that heroes have a shorter range of vision though. Phineas 21:13, 11 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I have to say it's kinda game breaking... I have been able to run my warrior to most places in Eye of the North now, bypassing blockades that would prevent a player from progressing. Phineas 23:16, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

 * I'd use it, Earshot Ranged or Explorable Area Ranged. XD Besides, Healer's Boon+Glyph of Lesser Energy+Heal Party < Unyielding Aura+Divine Healing+Heaven's Delight as long as everyone is in Earshot (could be a Protection Prayers bar instead of a Healing Prayers bar). It even frees up your secondary for combinations like Mesmer interrupts (Heroes) or Serpent's Quickness+Dwarven Stability.

 * Not profitable? You can rush most dungeons in HM now and reach the end chest much faster, same with other locations (Deep). So it is very profitable and I know that because I've been doing that and get more drops in much shorter time with less hassle. Smiter+600er or standard SF Assa or Ele +the average UA rush-hero and there you go. --Birchwooda Treehug 23:17, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Question abut running
If there is aggro within the range of where you start, is it still possible to self-run yourself through the area?Killaruna<font color="Red">LEET <font color="Red">  19:41, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Most likely, your hero just has to survive until they break aggro of whatever groups have already spawned.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]] Entrea   [Talk]  19:59, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * If you begin in a heavily infested, high level area then I would suggest considering the use of an A/Me or Me/A hero equipped with Arcane Mimicry and put UA on your own bar. Arcane Echo Shadow Form and that should be plenty to get you on your way. However, if you die, even though the hero is maintaining UA, it seems that once the UA skill disappears from the hero bar the game decides that you need to res at a shrine (or in the case of DoA, wipe). I don't think this is intended behaviour as the game has never had to check for a maintained res skill until now so I think it has been overlooked.
 * My idea. Anyway, if you put Rez Sig on their bar or bring another hero with a rez skill, you won't wipe.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]] Entrea   [Talk]  20:23, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, i can put a use to the stupid mesmer and sin heroes Killaruna<font color="Red">LEET <font color="Red">  00:13, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * The Mes heroes are some of the best uses of Heroes :\ but in any case I think the problem is Arcane Mimicry + maintained enchant...because the Hero has no rez on their bar, and you have a rez but died, it's as if no one has a res on their bar at death and you wipe/shrine res. It would be the same as if you stole a Res Sig with Simple Thievery or such. If Arcane Mimicry did not revert it would be fine, though. So perhaps you should do A/Mo hero instead? ... one Shadow Form ought to last long enough to get one radar length away, when combined with speed buffs. Superior Shadow Arts isn't expensive anymore these days either.
 * ...although thinking about it, usually you won't wipe/shrine res the first time until every player has died once, regardless who has rez. So it is strange. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 09:44, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Just a note about self-running:popups will still popup, so don't count on an easy run. A heck of a lot easier, sure, but don't try it in areas with lots of nasty popups.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]] Entrea   [Talk]  23:22, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Oddly enough, heroes fought better without me after I've died. I was playing an Earth Elementalist tank in the area with loads of Mursaat and Jade, and of course, I never had my armor Infused (just too lazy) so when I would play alongside my heroes and henchmen, we would wipe, but if I was already dead, they'd perform better without me. We all had 60% Death Penalty, and I was trying to cap Aura of Faith. I managed it in the end by letting my heroes clear the area without me. =/ ــѕт.  мıкε  02:04, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Recently I've use an R/Mo hero as my runner from Rankor to Warcamp. My hero would have UA.  When I would first zone, I would sac myself, then just guide/run my hero to almost the portal. The only enemies I would encounter were the one's within about a compass range of me. So, past that, nobody.  Then UA rez me and voila! --JonTheMon 12:48, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

actually you could use it to get survivor with Death Pact Signet (let one hero die, res it with ur DpS, let him die again other hero resses you with UA and now you could do whatever you wanted and still not lose your survivor...) so might be a sensible reason for changing this skill.88.113.135.202 11:43, 19 August 2008 (UTC)


 * No. Why would they care Survivor is easy? They made Fronis' Lair, too, which is the best method to obtain Survivor. Besides, PvE monsters are predictable and thus easy. It's not hard to not die --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  11:48, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Survivor is easy I know but you might lose it at Fronis Irontoes due lag or something similiar (happened to me when i had less than 10k for legendary)but if you used this method you couldn't lose it at all because deaths under its effect didn't count towards survivor so I think its just good that it was changed (better for other Pve also).

ghost running
since the ghost running build is getting more popular. i can see 3 possible nerfs in the future.

1)unyielding aura will heal less and rez for less

2)unyielding aura gets a range

3)heroes cause monsters to spawn

 * Causing heroes to spawn mobs would be a fundamental change to the game code (since H/H have never spawned mobs - taming Salke Fur Friend's pet, iirc, is an old example of abusing that) so that is unlikely - it's much easier to fix the problem by giving it a range or something.

 * What? Why? Or is that sarcasm? Anyway, chances are much better they'll just change it to have limited range, since that would be relatively simple. Hopefully they leave it at compass or spirit range if they do, but even at earshot this would be a great skill.

 * Skill description wasn't changed. :\ [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 00:24, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Why would it be? It still does exactly what it says, but it's limited to radar range now. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 00:25, 11 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Nope, tested with Tahlkora and BiP. Casting range --Gimmethegepgun 00:26, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * May as well revert to PvP (aka original) version now. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 00:33, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Dang, I was really hoping they'd leave it at radar. Still good as an HB replacement, though.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]] Entrea   [Talk]  00:34, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Spellcasting range is supposed to refer to radar, the length at which enchants can be maintained. Earshot is not spellcasting range. D: [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 00:36, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Damn it, only minutes after I captured this skill, they change it. I know it was kind of over powered, but why now? Arcdash 00:42, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Because of Ghost Running. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 00:43, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Who the fuck cares about Ghost Running? We needed it for UW. Now, it's just ANOTHER useless skill in this game. 72.161.12.154 00:45, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * It's actually slightly more limited than Rebirth now, cuz you can never be totally sure the range is right unless the body is clearly within your aggro bubble, and if you drop it when no targets are in range, it's wasted. Needs a buff to spirit range asap. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 00:48, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Even with the limited rez range, I'm gonna keep using this instead of Healer's Boon. UA and Holy Haste are much better than HB with any other rez.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]] Entrea   [Talk]  00:49, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The problem is that it's gone from amazing utility to just another res in the blink of an eye. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 00:54, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

It's still the best and fastest rez in the game. I'm still going to use it. ــѕт. мıкε  01:22, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * He's right though, although casting range= about 1.2x aggro circle, so rezzing from a wipe may be difficult.--Dark Paladin X 01:58, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * It's only slightly outside the aggro circle, dunno how much 1.2 is. Btw, 72.161.12.154, you do because that's half the reason it was nerfed. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 01:59, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * It's the same as Rebirth and Sunspear Rebirth Signet, just a little harder to position yourself during a wipe. It still serves as a dual purpose rez; for mid-battle AND wipes, with a hella short casting time. I still prefer it over Healer's Boon, because you don't have to take GoLE+Heal Party as UA still increases the gain from Divine Healing/Heaven's Delight. ــѕт.  мıкε  11:06, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 1.2x of aggro bubble=casting range, see Range.--Dark Paladin X 14:22, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

NO!!!!!
NO!!!!!!!!! its still great... just all the pvx builds based on this though....Nibelhim 01:02, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Ursan nerf... I don't care - UA fix.... aaaarrrgghhh noooooo I didn't rush all my chars yet :( And dungeon farming was fun like that too *sniff* So what new content do they offer now in replace? Can't be the golem quests XD Once done and you know it all. --Birchwooda Treehug 11:19, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo~ 12:16, 11 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Ohhh, yes. I like this. Izzy cared about PvE balance *sniff* He even nerfed VS runs, and they barely dropped in price. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  12:49, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

New feature after "nerf"
When you've two dead party members, one is within aggro range, the other one is far far away - which one will be rezzed? The one within aggro range? Maybe, maybe not. If it rezzes the other one then you've wasted the skill as the other one can't come back after the nerf but the skill triggers as if it is possible... means you cancel the enchantment and nothing happens. A fail try and you've to try again until you manage to get the one within range -.- Does anyone test think before skills get (mindlessly) changed? --Birchwooda Treehug 12:01, 16 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Not just that! 2 bugs for the price of 1 update! Heroes dont know what the range of ua is.... they will keep attempting to rez someone who is within 1.5-2 earshots away... therefore wasating energy like crazy....

barriers
I was browsing through some my old screenshots and I found a pair where I was ghost running through Riven Earth to Rata Sum. A bit in front of the portal and to the south (ie. approach through the dinosaur groups) there is massive wall of trees, logs, rocks, etc. which you can see while dead and viewing Hero's perspective. But once you res there with UA it is gone. I've also noticed similar occurrence in Shards of Orr while heading for the portal to Gadd's Encampment. There is a certain point where a wall is missing and it looks like you can run straight through to the portal, but an invisible barrier blocks you. When you res you can see that it's actually a wall. No secret passage from Light of Deldrimor either. (T/C) 05:30, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I've noticed the same thing once, too, and I've only done one ghost run. I think it was from Gunnar's Hold to Longeye's Ledge, and my Hero ran right through the "barrier". I'm not sure which of the two explorable areas it was in, though. =/ ــѕт.  мıкε  01:34, 4 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Bjora Marches. I've done thesame :P --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  17:01, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Revert!
So Anet buffs a skill to make it on par with other monk elites, and then nerfs it back into oblivion. Personally I think they should revert this back to the pre-buff as it was useful for survivors. It happened to Order of Undeath, and it can happen here. Who's with me? --GW-Seventh 16:27, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * It was not "nerfed back into oblivion". It is still a quarter-second cast, 10-second recharge resurrection skill that brings them back with full health and energy, and boosts healing to boot. It just doesn't have infinite range, so you can't ghost run with it anymore.  &not; Wizårdbõÿ777  ( talk ) 16:56, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * It's still better than Healer's Boon on a Hero, imo. You'd drop Heal Party and GoLE for Divine Healing and Heaven's Delight, and fit in some Mesmer Inspiration Magic skills so that the Hero can manage its energy better than a traditional HB while healing more efficiently (mostly because Divine Healing+Heaven's Delight+UA>GoLE+Heal Party+HB). It's also still the best rez, so you can basically drop rezzes from your and your allies'/heroes' bars for additional utility/moar domoge. ــѕт.  мıкε  19:55, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hero and player should never be carrying res anyways, other than just one reusable one if you expect a total wipe. Divine Healing/Heaven's Delight is earshot range and has long recharge. Channeling is gud. Heroes dismiss UA whenever someone dies, even if you disable it. (or so I heard) HB works better in smaller parties. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 03:46, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

By the way, OoU is at its best right now, so that is bad comparison. (T/C) 03:48, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * He's saying OoU got nerfed then rebuffed, so UA should too. --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="Steelblue">Shadowcrest  03:52, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Arguable about OoU getting nerfed, as the "new" version could be used for some interesting things of its own. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 04:30, 18 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Rebirth is a good resurrection in PvE, because you can pull corpses out of mobs; this is a much better version of it. Resurrection at full health and energy, Rebirth-range, and tacked-on HB effect (even if it's not as amazing as HB, yes). No matter how you look at it, IMO, it's still a better skill then the original version, which really shone when scamming users, and not in many other situations. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  04:10, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Reaching exact Rebirth range is a delicate process, and I don't think it's worth my Elite slot as the Monk. Rather give it to Koss or something. Full health and Energy is good for an in-battle rez. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 04:30, 18 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Vegeance is shatterbait, even Monsters know that. Also, getting in rezrange for UA is easy. Just put the corpse on the edge of your bubble, and cancel. Done.
 * On rez a bit further upwards: Some sigs are awesome to take along when you don't take a shatload of defense (i.e., 2 Monks, 5 damage dealers and a hybrid). 3sec rez > 4-6 sec rez. Or, in UA's case: doubleclick cast >>>>> any other rez by far, and it's recharge is good. Div Healing and dupe are great party heals; almost everyone should be in Earshot of your monks or closer by and with UA they heal for a good amount, quick cast, low cost. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  09:09, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * And because they don't cost 15 energy like Heal Party, you can use them without GoLE and twice as often (without draining your Energy by using Heal Party without GoLE), while still getting a boost in healing, so that makes UA more efficient, and that pip of energy lost to upkeep is regained with Power Drain and Leech Signet/Drain Enchantment/Waste Not, Want Not which you wouldn't be able to take if you were to use Heal Party and/or GoLE. I also don't miss the halved casting time of HB, because you aren't running anything over a 1 second cast, anyway.


 * Imo, the benefits of using UA outweigh those of HB on a Hero; the Inspiration Magic line would be too hard/unreliable for a player Monk to use effectively. ــѕт.  мıкε  12:16, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
