Mantra of retribution

[ElementEight]

Has anyone had any succes weaving that one into any build? It seems very sub-par when compared to evasion's awesome mitigation, conviction's awesome damage boost (easily miles ahead of the damage you'll be returning) or healing, and this, for most if not all rune choices. And it doesn't work with dodging, the monk's prime mean of mitigating damage. Please convince me otherwise

Please convince me otherwise

I can't, it pretty well sucks.

Figured as much. I wonder how the heck they came up with 40% damage taken returned +8% attack speed (the highest theoretical DPS increase rune for the skill) could somehow compare to conviction's 24% bonus in any way.

I gave it a shot last night for about four fights, and then switched over to conviction until further notice.

It is full-on crap. To have something like that be viable, it would need to return 100%+ of damage recieved vs MONSTERS (to stop from being laughably OP in PvP). Any runes would be gravy after that.
