Mending Touch vs. Antidote Signet

[marthaurion]

Why is [[mending touch] preferred over [[antidote signet]?

[Epic Monkey Battle]

cause I can use it on other players

[MagmaRed]

1) It can be used on other players. (i.e. the Monk who is Dazed)
2) It provides a small heal (even small heals help)
3) It can remove 2 conditions that Antidote Sig would take 2 uses top remove (Deep Wound+Cripple)

For PvE, it doesn't make much sense for a Ranger to use Mending Touch unless you want to help out the Monks. In PvP, it has some significant advantages.

The above is all my personal opinion, most of which comes from listening to others, as I rarely take a self heal or condition removal skill on my Ranger.

^pretty much

the 3/4s cast time is also an added bonus

Also, it is very cheap and as a touch skill, it can profit from Expertise.

Signets arent THAT expensive either.

antidote sig has a chance to remove upto 4 conditions at once though ;-) plus it costs nothing

Finally. I was wondering when this topic would be posted.

Poison and Disease are incredibly easy to reapply. Removing it often has little meaning.

Crippled, DW are much more potent and needs to be removed immediately. Besides you can remove conditions of other ppl. That's awesome and fulfills the ranger's duty of being a utility character.

Use [[Antidote Signet] if you absolutely cannot go /Mo for [[Mending Touch]. Such cases include Scythe Rangers, Thumpers, and RaO Spearchuckers.

When I'm going Melandru's Shot, I use Mending touch.

If I'm say...R/Rt for Splinter Barrage or Triple Nightmare (triple shot + nightmare weapon) I use antidote sig.

[Rak Orgon of Beowulf]

i just like [antidote signet] because of the guranteed blind removal. no matter how many conditions are stacked on it though. and because it is unlinked to any attribute.

Icon is better.

No but, it can be used on others, expertise helps it, heals too.
