Oberon: Help me use please

[aprilstor]

<DIV>I did a search and read that some of you guys think this is a useful spell now. But I'm still not getting how. I like the short reuse timer and the fact it's a nice ward, but the stun componant  and the power use hurts.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Please describe for me scenerios when oberon is most useful. I would like to play  my mystic as well as I can. I know there's been info on it but I'm just not 'getting it'. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks everyone!</DIV>

its a 30 second pause. you can relax, chatting etc <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />and very helpful for duels ..especially against fighters.

<DIV>I just hit 50 yesterday, so I'm curious as well.  I see it as being an emergency-type spell, but since I don't know how quickly the ward regens, I'm really not sure when I should use it.  Does anyone know, post-expansion, how quickly the ward regens and for how much (for, say, Adept 1 and Adept 3)?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Kanali - 50 Mystic - Steamfont</DIV>

<DIV>Throw your debuffs, your main ward, oberon ward.. chill and watch that ward regen. For that 30 secs, little to none damage will get thru (considering the mob/mobs are around ur lvl).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Zrax,</DIV> <DIV>50 Mystic, Permafrost</DIV>

Also extremely useful in a 2 Priest group when things start to go bad. Drop this on the MT to give your group 30 seconds to get things under control.

<DIV>When you have just enough mana in your pool to cast it. The last spell you cast, as you cannot really do more when OOP.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>In general, it is a nice spell if you are not the sole healer. If you are alone, it can be good, or it can turn really bad. (watching your group die while you are under the stun because mages/scout took aggro)</DIV>

It is also great when that pesky mage gets in the red in a 2 healer group, fast cast keep mage alive and prevent more damage while others heal him up. <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I just Adept 3'd it today... 1156pt ward =) regen on it is FAST too... half its worth per tick (578 for you math wizards =P)</DIV>

I also Ad3'ed mine.  I'm very happy with it.
