I have come across this skill mention in the forums but no real details. Supposedly it is a great skill. Can someone give me a detailed description of it. I don't yet have the sp for it, but I am thinking of getting it next. Does it buff whole party? Under what conditions or circumstances would you use it? Against what kind of opponents is it good against? Does it compliment any other skills or buffs? Thank you for any information.

I'm not an elf or Palading, but as far as I've heared the skill is the best so far. The Elven Knight can whitstand Antharas atacks when under this skill (with little help from cardinal). Hp regen is insane as far as I've heared....
Skill details:
Its a 1 target skill

a)Drops your own HP first by a fixed amount of 1215HP. Therefore you have to have at least that amount to use the skill.
b)Heals your target by 50% of its current max HP. If your target has 2.000/10.000HP (including buffs), it get healed by 5.000 and has 7.000/10.000 HP then.
If used on yourself: 3.215/12.000 -> 2.000/12.000(for a few ms) -> 8.000/12.000

following effects gets added for 2 minutes to the target:
c)+100% buff cancel resist (if your basic resist was 10%, its now 20%)
d)+30% de-buff resistance
e)+30% heal amount received (an incoming heal of 1.000 will heal for 1.300)
f)+50 HP regen per second (practically ~170 per tick)

current reuse time, unbuffed: 5 min

Overall a pretty awesome skill. Can save any partymembers live or your own.
Since Gracia Final you can have it up 40% of the time. Before it was like 16 min reuse.

1 downside: range of 40 = melee range

I use it a lot, eg. when the healer gets the famous screen-freeze-lag.

Gives a holy blessing by sacrificing oneself. Restores HP by 50%, and for 2 minutes, increases resistance to buff cancel attacks by 100%, resistance to de-buff attacks by 30%, and the power of received HP recovery magic by 30%. Restores 50 HP every second.

Range: 40

I just got mine and I love it and i'm sure if the 83 Party ToL works just like this then your party might be thankful for it.

I would love to get it OE'd for time atm. Ichy trigger fingure atm
Basically it has 2 uses:

1. as a protective buff: debuff resistance, buff cancel+increased heals and hp regen
2. as an emergency heal.

As an emergency heal, you don't have to use it much, except if healer is out of mp, or lagging or something, for which I prefer UD+elixir though (can't use ToL if hp is lower than hp cost of skill). I have saved healer sometimes in raids with ToL and I have saved myself a few times.

Now if you use it as a buff, you can have it on most of the time and get high hp regen+debuff resistance+hp regen+increased heals which in 2 minutes equals to more hp than ToL itself :)

I would say Gracia instances and HB are the only places where it is useful in pve. Pvp is another issue ....
imagine a dagger under that skill... or a nuker....
How is it used in pvp ?
