Hard resurrection

Hard resurrection (hard res or hard rez) is an umbrella term for reusable resurrection skills, such as Restore Life or Death Pact Signet. Unlike Resurrection Signet, these do not require a morale boost to recharge.

Since hard res skills often have a longer activation time, the character with the hard res often uses other skills or abilities to prevent interruption, e.g. the mesmer's Fast Casting attribute.
