Temporarily increases party members' resistance to attacks by earth. Continuous dancing consumes additional MP. An equipped dual-sword weapon is required to use this skill.
My question: what are earth attacks? What mobs use those?
Mobs in the plunderous plains spoil you.. at least when you level your academy toons there with your high level sws you can have "some"protection from their spoil... hahaha
protection is not used, there's no dance less important. Poison and demonc are both verynice though landrates aren't great. Both do damage and while poison is a lame DoT demonic has a very nice debuff. Generally they are only useful when you have large groups of mobs or people and even then it's not a big thing. As with most BD skills their use hinges on you having an excess of mp.
1 - Dance of Protection is good for one thing. When you are with a party that is out and you need to get somewhere fast and jumping off a cliff is needed. Dance that, less damage, and less heals from healers and/or less sit and regen time. Helpful in gank squads where there are no healers and you can hold the extra dance.
i.e. Mystic + Con + Protection
But other than that POINTLESS imo.
2 - Does anyone have a complete list of Earth Attacks, or a more complete list. This dance to me seems like it has some potential (like aqua guard) if used properly. Thanks in advance :)
Earth Guard is very usefull in a particular hunting spot where all the mobs do Earth damage. But I'll let you try and work out which one, thats half the fun :p

Tell that to the SD lvl 78 who danced that in my party in VoS, when we were doing the Angel RB. He danced that and said we're good now for the drop, we dropped we all took massive damage (all but 1 HP remaing) and he got one shotted by a bright blue mob.
That dance does nothing, a BD danced that when we were going to Forbidden Path Cata (we jumped off the cliff out of HV) tookl massive amounts of damage.
Well, if you take 60k of damage, and then with dance you take 30k you still have 0 HP (though you live) ;)
Really, I used to have some picture when I took 62k damage ...
Yup I do too .. i took like 65K of Damage one time. But if it doesnt helpwhen you drop from the HV cliff to the FP Cata .. What is it good for?? I only take like 30K damage:eek: form that one.
