Hands uses equilibrium every time you use it. I'm not saying it's not a good skill, but I'd be just as happy with a skill that brings me back to full health and have a fresh start. Instead I have to hands twice to get my health back to full. (At Seraphic and with one health+mana.)
And Avian, why don't you use your grove in the Arena? I sparred Brunneng in his grove a few days ago and it was killer to my offensive. Then again, I still won.
a) Groves are not fun.
b) I can't use them.
Hands still bugs me. Seriously. It's like grove vigour. And you'll have a helluva hard time beating me while I use that.
