Resurrecting glyph useful for anything?
You can use it to quickly resurrect Detha in the Ascalonian Catacombs to make her repair the traps at the end of her path faster.
Other than that I don’t know what the point of this skill is. That counts for most of the revival skills except for the Warbanner though.
I guess a niche use would be WvW Lord resurrection but I don’t even know if they fixed that already and there it’s also usually Warriors because of the AoE res.
I have used it in a few different fractals or harder-type content when I PUG and recognize that I am grouped with people who need a little more help. In those cases, my utility bar is mostly for them.
In pvp, the glyph has been used at times for the fire self-res, although its not really relevant anymore with everyone farting out cc passively.
It’s great for anything involving keeping npcs alive. I used it today in the 78 Urban Battleground fractal. That fractal isn’t nice since the constant arrow cart rain supplies a ton of random conditions, and the boss is a really heavy hitter that can one shot most builds. The fight became who can stay alive long enough for the rest to run back so my sudden thought of changing spells saved the day as we had some lovely agro sponges to finish the boss off.
So the glyph of renewal’s gigantic cast time and cool down make it pretty useless on people though. There’s the occasional idea and success of rebounding then glyph of renewaling those that fell in a raid. However, when you think about how you’re not using an entire spell slot for a situation that could end up not happening at all it becomes a waste.
So personally I love and hate it. One thing I really hate about it is that the spell gives no information to new players that it doesn’t work on fully downed players. After playing the game for a long time it out course makes sense, but when you first start you think you just missed. So you end up waiting for a huge spell, and may end up putting yourself in danger with the long cast time again.
I like it. I usually equip it for silverwastes pre-breach for quickly revive fallen warmaster to full health (water attunement). Very useful when there’s only few players defending and dead warmaster is surrounded by 30 mobs.
Works also great on fallen dolyaks.
Earth attunement is also great for mass-recurrect NPC’s but is used mostly for saving time.
Water attunement-res also might be useful in fractals/dungeons but it’s very situational and most of the time I don’t use it since range of skill is too short. There has been few times when air attunement has saved some of my fellow party members from poison area/aoe of sudden death when it’s too dangerous to go there and res, but this is very rare.
I would increase range of this skill greatly and lower cool down to be 150 sec. Cast time is fine.
Like all the other resurrect spells of other classes you can use it to revive dead NPC’s and heal downed PC’s. Other than that there’s not much use for most of the resurrect skils, those that are in the form of segils have of course a passive effect, but I never use them on any of my characters, just do not see the need for them. They are pretty much useless in my mind.
Attuned to air to revive your commander in wvw before enemy finisz him.
Attuned to fire is self rally. You don’t need to revive anyone, you always get that 15s buff that will revive you if you die during it time.
