porcupine regen

[Bardrick]

I was wondering if it was worth getting the AA skill to have a regen on porcupine?I would use it alot more if i wasn't just stunned and useless.  Does anyone have this, and what does it heal for?

<p>I believe with 5 AAs the regen is around 200 per tick at level 70 (assume it scales down from there).  It's been a while since I tried it so I can't remember the exact number.</p><p>I use this spell so rarely that I don't think it's even on my hotbar anymore, mainly because adding 2000 mitigation to a level 70 tank provides a very minor benefit.  Needless to say I would consider this AA a total waste of points.</p>

<p>Porcupine/Urchin is pretty much a total waste of time.</p><p>They offer very little in the way of dmg and mit, and the fact that it stuns you makes it virtually useless.</p><p>In 18 months I have used this spell twice.</p>

I'm finding Urchin to be quite effective against certain classes in PvP against fast melee chars, like swashy and brigand. With heals stacked up I can pop urchin on and drop them to half health with no effort at all. I might just take the AA for that and see what it's like.In PvE though, yeah it's totally useless

funny but perfectly useless. I used this one single time and for testing purpose :p Never I tried that in a group ^^

Yea urchin is crap.. I might use it occasionally on pulls in raids if it was raid-castable, but since the mt group has a warden 99.9% of the time I just never use it..

I always thought all of the spells that stun the casters were an insult to the players.  So you lev up to a high level toon, cast a spell and you get to....stand there and do nothing!
