Talk:Song of Restoration

nice if it wasn't elite. Aria of Restoration is better in the sense that it isn't elite, though if nonspell skills are used, allies aren't healed. --Life Infusion 22:51, 28 September 2006 (CDT)

Plus, redundancy ftw. This lets you stack the two, and heal for twice the amount, not to mention the nicer looking stats :-) Xenopia Impellus 16:16, 19 October 2006 (CDT)

Order of Pain+this=Order of Vampire on crack. --Mgrinshpon 12:37, 21 October 2006 (CDT)
 * See Build: N/P Ordergon for an example of this application.

This also has a net cost of 0 or less and a shorter recharge than most other chants. A decent all-purpose support elite. Shido 00:15, 27 October 2006 (CDT)

Found a boss with this in the Garden of Sebowhatever explorable, north of the SW corner. --Fyren 21:33, 28 October 2006 (CDT)
 * And also just NE of the entrance. --Fyren 22:00, 28 October 2006 (CDT)

Another boss is in west part of Vehjin Mines. --Spura 12:31, 30 October 2006 (CST)
 * Sadly that one has Song of Purification, not Song of Restoration. --Parabellum

Alternative capture location?
Is there any way to capture this skill after the Garden of Seborhin has become the Garden of Darkness? --Parabellum 05:44, 5 November 2006 (CST)
 * Finish the missions, and the Garden is restored. --Gaspard 04:07, 7 November 2006 (CST)
 * Alternatively, you could party with someone who can get into the normal garden and have him enter it instead. Consider helping a new player or two with their missions, I'm sure they won't mind running to kill a boss in return. Orcao 00:26, 28 May 2007 (CDT)

OW, I broke my wrist, good thing my next attack skill will fix it! --Lann 14:15, 31 August 2007 (CDT)

Stop nerfing
Stop a-net stop! Lost-Blue 01:24, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * So was the increased recharge to 30 seconds really necessary? I play mostly PvE, so was this being overused in PvP?  I'm sad to see this change.  It makes me think about switching Hayda's elite to Cautery Signet instead.  Shadowlance 01:26, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * GG. Fire up the LAME tag cuz The entire Motivation attribute is officially dead now. --ilr
 * Woot. It's now conditional elite heal party that has recarge 30 seconds... Thats uber-cool skill now.XMarkOS 13:45, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Why are you still playing a Paragon? They have been utterly useless in PvE for a long time now. Imbagon is a BS myth, and even if it wasn't it isn't fun to play. Paragons are really only good for PvP teams that have more than 2 paragons in them. Try a ranger or a dervish or something, paragons are unable to contribute enough to justify a spot in any pve party. Sucks ....... but thats what Izzy apparently feels we want.


 * "They have been utterly useless in PvE for a long time now." -- I'm sorry, but what game are you playing? Also, Paragons dont need the PvE skills to be powerful, just a player who doesn't suck. --Milkflopance 06:44, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The Imbagon is still one of the best defensive builds out there, but just about every other supportive Paragon build has been nerfed all to hell. -Mike 11:15, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

9 Legendary Guardians, 9 Legendary Skill Hunters, 7 Legendary Cartographers 4 Legendary Vanquishers,4 People Know Me, 3 I'm Very Important 1 Guild Hall Stinking with Mahagony and 1 God Walking Among Mortals say I don't suck, and I say Paragons do. Name one class that can't easily outdamage them. If you are going to try to tell me that they are better or as good at support as monks rits or necros, that says more about you than me. Paragons are not worthwhile unless there are more than 2 in a team, unless you play in Normal Mode, where anything is just fine. Paragons simply are not equal to the other classes when not accompanied by more paragons.
 * That's too bad. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 13:01, 18 April 2008 (UTC)


 * A title doesnt say you dont suck. Such titles only tell you you should have People Rarely See Me, rather than People Know Me (my apologies if this offended you). That aside, Paragons have the greatest defense, party wide, known to me. They have good DPS, and spiking capabilities (not solo, but coordinated). A single Para in a team might very well be replacable, but 2 Paras cooperating is just plain awesome. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage 13:04, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * That reminds me of the time I defeated an entire RA team on my paragon. WoH Monk, Ranger, Necro, Mesmer, vs. me and a Healer's Covenant monk. By utilizing Stunning Strike I killed the monk until their res sigs were gone, then took the rest of them out. We went on to win 17 games.

 * Titles dont make you a good player, Mr Unsigned. And judging by your comments i'd guess you're one of those Paragons that runs all defense builds, which are bad. --Milkflopance 15:56, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

So back to my original question - anyone have theories as to why Izzy thought this skill needed a nerf? Was it being overused/abused in PvP or something? With a 30 second recharge I'm thinking that borderline this skill barely qualifies for elite status. Sure it's better than Ballad or Aria of restoration, but that much better to take up your elite slot with a 30s recharge? Shadowlance 16:08, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I just now saw the note on the updates page explaining that these changes are temporary for the tournament and they'll be reverted on May 1. Guess that explains their reasoning somewhat.  Shadowlance 16:37, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
