If this change would happen, Knights and Rangers should definately lose their protection against malleus, keening and veritas. Too much nerfing going on these days for rite users. Shouldn't forget that's pretty much what makes priests, rites. Without malleus and veritas priests become weak babas/knights. Where's the balance in that?

Anyway, nerfing these rites isn't only nerfing priests, it's also very severely nerfing monks. Even more monks than priests I'd say. And knights or rangers shouldn't even hope for ever casting keening/malleus again with their failrate and manapool.

If I was objective, I'd say **** religions, take stuff away from them to let people form their own guilds with unique characters from many classes and their own desired RP instead and still be able to compete with religions.

For I play a heightened Law monk, I selfishly vote no, since this would render me close to useless except as a full support.

Actually besides the 60 piety priests I am more worried about the Barbarians/Knights in PVP. And you all are still comparing this all to the higher piety priests, I think a 40 piety priest and a trained barb are on par, 30 and below struggle a bit more. As far as monks go the fail rate of Veritas makes it seem like the mana pool isnt the issue there, not sure about how hard malleus/keening is to cast.

Question to Law peeps saying this would make them useless, how much mana can you regenarate for each of you if theres 4 priests next to each other in 30 seconds?

It's not a deathblow to the rites, it should stop the SPAMMING that is the biggest problem and this would still be a smaller nerf than tuning down the damage.

Law aura doesn't regenerate mana for others, only for self. Hit points for all, mana only for self.
