Forget going through block when it just breaks after the first hit. Shard heals for 7k each hit, knocks down for 3 seconds, has insane range, doesnt break on damage letting you burst down sorcs. Cant beat obsidian Shard. Shard is love shard is life

    Not reliable when you meteor them :) If there fast enough they'll block before you shard, at least fossilize guarantee's a meteor hit.

    Grats on the 4 stars though... xD

    While i do agree that Obsidian Shard is an underrated ability (base heal is on par with Blessing of Restoration), i am unfortunately forced into Invigorating Drain, in order to be able to afford to have Leap on. The Curse of non-cp Imperial Mag DK - i NEED that 10% regen....

    The main reason i consider fossilize superior is the fact it cannot be dodged. On some opponents, i've had 4 out of 5 obsidian shards whiff. I need my CC to be more reliable than that.

    I understand that. Main reason I use shard is for the CC that doesnt break on dmg. Tired of CCing someone only for after the 1st hit they spam shields and/or heals

    I agree that when obsidian shard hits, it's great. Hard CC, decent heal. That's why i was running it for a while. Only problem is that between everyone and their mom running shuffle, and the frequent roll dodges, it's a **** to land.

    Isnt a 5.4k tooltip reduced by 50% in PvP... so 2.7k actual heal? + 25% major mending = about 3.4k?

    Yes. If your tooltip says 5k (damage or healing), Battle Spirit takes 50% away.

    In this case of healing, 5.4K Tooltip should give;

    5400 x 1,25 x 0,5 = 3375 Healing. With a Crit, that will be 5062, without any Crit modifiers.

    But you don't always get the heal if you're out of range, or it could heal someone else.,
