Shield Bash
It's not better. Shield Bash is great for countering sin chains, but Shield Stance makes you unkillable by any melee. The movement restriction is nothing in TA, you never have to push for an overextended warrior since there's nowhere to extend to. They both have their strong points.  —Ska Kid  16:16, 31 July 2008 (EDT)
 * Shield Bash disables Shattering Assault Sins (and melee's chains), but other than that, they're pretty much even. ــмıкε  нaшк  18:09, 31 July 2008 (EDT)
 * TBH, sins aren't too plentiful in TA anymore since I've been playing (more as of recently). RaO Axers and standard Warriors are all the rage. Shield Bash is a wrench in their gears, but I perfer tons of block instead. --[[Image:GoD Wario Sig.PNG]]<font color="Black"> * Wah <font color="DAA520">Wah  Wah! * 18:59, 31 July 2008 (EDT)

 * Shield stance still allows you to kite, and it's mainly for knockdowns anyway. Protector's defense means you are pretty much stuck in one spot for 9 seconds, and that's dumb. So basically people just ignore for 10 seconds, then they have 20 seconds all to themselves to kill you.[[image:lightningbolt_sig.jpg|19x19px]]<font color="#FDD017" face="blackadder itc">uɐɟ <font color="#FDD017" face="blackadder itc">ɐʞıd  <font color="#FF0033">o <font color="#000000">^_^ <font color="#FF0033">o  <font color="#996600">¸ <font color="#FFCC00">« <font color="#FFCC00">` 05:50, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * that's why you take shield stance and protector's defense imo. allows you to catch up on healing, plenty of blocking, recharges are almost never a problem. In fact, when i run it in RA, where ppl always just go straight for monk, i run disciplined, shield, and protectors, and spec 9 in tactics. and i drop guardian, no need. its as short as stances with a terrible cast. enchnt strips are meta. my bar in RA is WoH, Patient, Mend Condition (for the recharge and i have 3+1 specced in prot), cure hex, holy veil, disciplined, shield, protectors. i can almost maintain block stances. patient and WoH is more than enough healing. the quick recharge on mend cond means conditions arent a problem, unless they're on you, but conditions alone cant kill you, and no melee makes it tough. Daze is the worst condition monks face, but its not as if a monk with daze can use the 5/4s cast of dismiss to remove it anyway, just stance and cast, or wait. dual 12s recharge hex removal, both target other and one with precast takes care of hexes. i like it One Who Brings Soot 00:58, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't like it. Prots are huge in RA/TA, and not running Guardian is just unsmart. Sure, you can use three skills to semi-maintain 75% block, or use can use one for a perma-50% block, and have two slots open for more prots or simply self-defense. Cause not everyone in RA is stupid enough to keep on a monk who's chaining stances, and they'll just switch targets so you're stuck trying to heal through everything with Patient and Word. GG's. --Jaigoda 02:30, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Vig Spirit
I think it sucks balls, for RA at least. Heal over time is bad because often it's just going to overheal, and most of the time you'll want the big heal from Patient/Word anyway. Yeah, it's freaking awesome on paper, but to me it just saps your energy for less bang for your buck than your other heals. Maybe I just suck, but something like Sig Rejuv, SoA, or SB looks much more attractive to me. Also, no one runs dual stance nemoar. --Jaigoda 04:11, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I easily outheal LC with vig spirit and single hex removal(WoH). What makes you think it is bad?[[image:lightningbolt_sig.jpg|19x19px]]<font color="#FDD017" face="blackadder itc">uɐɟ <font color="#FDD017" face="blackadder itc">ɐʞıd  <font color="#FF0033">o <font color="#000000">^_^ <font color="#FF0033">o  <font color="#996600">¸ <font color="#FFCC00">« <font color="#FFCC00">` 04:14, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Because to me, it just doesn't have anough use to fit in an EXTREMELY cramped monk bar. Yeah, maybe it can handle LC or poison, but so can Sig Rejuv/Word/Patient for relatively similar energy, and they're actually useful outside of minor pressure. Again, I might just suck too hard to use it properly, but... --Jaigoda 04:28, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Vigorous Spirit heals an average of 150-200 at the least for a warrior; what 5 energy spell allows you to maintain itself on multiple members and eliminate so much pressure? Also, I don't think my bar is very cramped.[[image:lightningbolt_sig.jpg|19x19px]]<font color="#FDD017" face="blackadder itc">uɐɟ <font color="#FDD017" face="blackadder itc">ɐʞıd  <font color="#FF0033">o <font color="#000000">^_^ <font color="#FF0033">o  <font color="#996600">¸ <font color="#FFCC00">« <font color="#FFCC00">` 04:33, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Vig Spirit heals for an average of 150-200, but only on melee professions which save for 'Sins are pretty rarely targetted. So yeah, you might heal for that, but half will probably be overheal, and often you'll still need a Word/Patient. And I can heal for 142 with a no-cost skill that recharges every 8 seconds. I still don't see the benefits right now.. --Jaigoda 04:39, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Vig Spirit isn't a "direct" heal. It deals with degen, so dismiss is pretty much only used deep wound/blind/daze. It basically removes all pressure from the game, be it poison, bleeding, burning, LC, hexes, bla bla bla. If you have to constantly patient+woh vs 6+ degen on your entire party, your energy is going run out very fast. Vigorous Spirit does that job for you at a cheap cost.[[image:lightningbolt_sig.jpg|19x19px]]<font color="#FDD017" face="blackadder itc">uɐɟ <font color="#FDD017" face="blackadder itc">ɐʞıd  <font color="#FF0033">o <font color="#000000">^_^ <font color="#FF0033">o  <font color="#996600">¸ <font color="#FFCC00">« <font color="#FFCC00">` 04:46, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 20 energy every 30 seconds to keep it on each player (or 10 every 30 for 2 players) is 1-2 pips of energy right there. In the same 30 seconds, I could get off three FREE sigs and say, three Words/Patients, for plenty of anti-pressure. I could use the same argument for how Healing Breeze is bad: It overheals without your control, and won't heal when you really need it. Also, Sig Rejuv is still useful outside of degen pressure, while Vig Spirit has a pretty one-dimensional usage. Plus, if your RA team is balling up when there's an LC necro on the other team, you might as well just resign whether or not you have VS. --Jaigoda 04:52, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Enchanting spear* 20 every 36.  Life [[Image:WikiLOD7.gif]] 04:55, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * My bad, sorry. Even so, to me it's just another (still quite expensive) heal, where you could otherwise be bringing something more useful and/or powerful. --Jaigoda 05:02, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, maybe I'll just admit that it comes down to personal preference, because in my eyes VS is inferior, and in others' it's apparently one of the better skills in the game. Whatever. I'm going to add Signet of Rejuvenation to variants, though. --Jaigoda 05:25, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Vigorous Spirit is the best arena hex removal in the game. If you don't understand why, you are playing badly. You sure as hell don't have to maintain it on everyone at all times, but precasting it on every before the battle delays the pressure setting in.

I've never felt that Vigorous Spirit was ever better than a free heal. If you know who to heal at what time - depending on the amount of damage coming in over a certain period of time - you can learn to use WoH + Patient Spirit to greater effect. Pre-Veiling and Pre-Protting should take care of any large amounts of hexes and damage. I'm not sure about any of you, but I'd rather Pre-veil in anticipation of Lingering Curse and remove it than rely on Vigorous Spirit. 71.251.54.118 17:49, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Misery does have a point, tbh, but it's more suited for TA, where you have other people who know how to help mitigate damage (which means damage is coming in slower and VS is able to keep up). I've tried using Vig Spirit, but the nature of RA just prevents it from being useful. Most people don't bring much, if any defense, and VS just doesn't heal quickly enough in the damage-rampant RA of now, and you end up needing at least one more heal or prot. For me, I'd still take Shield of Absoption or Sig Rejuv any day (though TA is a very different story). --Jaigoda 21:27, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Dear x, you're very bad. Good monks will drop guardian for shielding hands and take either vig + bonettis or dolyak + bonetti's. Dolyak + shielding hands means you can just sit and tank damage, and you have bonetti's to fuel any powerhealing that manages to leak through (hardly any should though, with +10 from dolyak, a q8 shield, and shielding hands). Stop being a shitter and l2p--TahiriVeila 17:02, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

 * Dear bad players. A monk isn't suppose to be in the front line to begin with.  Furthermore when a monk is /W then it is assumed they have some anti melee.  Bonetti's or Wayward is good enough.  Limiting a monks movement is absolute garbage.  On a War sure but a monk NEEDS to be moblie unless you have a good team that dosen't split (but that NEVER happens).  So I am not a shitter and you are bad.  BTW popular = bad<font color="#b22222"> X  19:02, December 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * Look at the tags. AB/CM/RA. There is no such thing as a "frontline" in any of those arenas. And I'd rather lose movement for a few seconds and avoid a knocklock than run and then get knocklocked. <font color="Black" face="cambria">Karate [[File:KJ for sig.png]] <font color="Black" face="cambria">Jesus  <font face="Arial" color="gray" size="1">19:17, 4 December 2009
 * dolyak is great actually X. sitting there with vigorous and dolyak, you can just spear and vig will heal you for a shitload, doesn't matter that you aren't blocking because you have a godfuck of armor. and its just against KD's, where you would normally just guardian and kite, you can now just dolyak and keep wanding and casting, then vs daggers/axes just use bonettis. Gringo 19:20, December 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * I am not debating the skill but how it is used on a monk...so a war comes up and starts to KD lock. So you use Dolyak.  He laughs and runs to gang up on a team mate.  IF you are saying 1vs1 or even 2 vs monk I am fine with that.  It's when you use it as you see your team get taken apart casue there FUCKING MONK CAN't move.  @KJ min is 8sec....a little more than a few.  Teams....teams.

 * Like, have everyone stay in range of the monk like all good players should and not leeroy to the other side of the map, perhaps? Also, stop being bad, you aren't a good PvPer to begin with, so don't dispense advice that makes you look worse, especially when more experienced monks have told you that you are wrong.[[image:lightningbolt_sig.jpg|19x19px]]<font color="#FDD017" face="blackadder itc">uɐɟ <font color="#FDD017" face="blackadder itc">ɐʞıd  <font color="#FF0033">o <font color="#000000">^_^ <font color="#FF0033">o  <font color="#996600">¸ <font color="#FFCC00">« <font color="#FFCC00">` 20:10, December 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry I am not the pro that you are pika but how often do you see players stay around the monk...hardly ever. Don't give me this "you are bad", for you have never seen me play and never will.  My advice is fine...don't like it....don't use it.  Oh and you don't know my experience either so use Dolyak and fail.<font color="#b22222"> X  20:14, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

 * Don't give me your bullshit, your argument only applies for AB/CM where you actually need the mobility. For arenas, your team should never have to go to the other side of the map unless the other team is attempting to grief, which by then you don't need to heal. Nobody effing splits in RA, you should be right smack in the center of all your teammates 101% of the time, and if you have teammates who overextends for no particular reason, please tell them to stop being bad and learn how to switch targets, or /ragequit and find a better team. @KJ I am not a fantastic monk, I just know and apply the concept of "common sense", something which xtreme1ne has never come across in his entire lifetime, considering how stupid he was with his "new and revolutionary invincible monk" and the fact he never learnt from it.[[image:lightningbolt_sig.jpg|19x19px]]<font color="#FDD017" face="blackadder itc">uɐɟ <font color="#FDD017" face="blackadder itc">ɐʞıd  <font color="#FF0033">o <font color="#000000">^_^ <font color="#FF0033">o  <font color="#996600">¸ <font color="#FFCC00">« <font color="#FFCC00">` 20:21, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

The point that X's argument completely stopped being valid:
 * "Dear bad players. A monk isn't suppose to be in the front line to begin with.  Furthermore when a monk is /W then it is assumed they have some anti melee.  Bonetti's or Wayward is good enough.  Limiting a monks movement is absolute garbage.  On a War sure but a monk NEEDS to be moblie unless you have a good team that dosen't split (but that NEVER happens)."

Why discussion persisted beyond this point is completely beyond me. Someone should have just called him an autistic nigger and locked the page. ···  Danny  Pew   Pew  21:27, December 4, 2009 (UTC)
