Power Trip is too powerful for a non-elite, and functions too much like Psychic Instability. In fact, its better than Psychic Instability (3 less recharge, also KD on chant, no 50% failure chance at 4 or lower attribute and not eite). Signet of safe return is very redundant because all normal range skills apart from signet of resurrection (which heals for 100% health anyway) teleport the resurrected ally to caster's location, and there's only 2 other monk resurrects, a touch range (making this basically useless, because casting a healing spell has the same effect) and a half ranged skill. Also, its very conditional and the heal is pretty pathetic. Accumulated Fortune is OP, because Aegis+Prot Spirit/Guardian+This>WoH, and since this is Divine Favor, it makes Healing Prayers useless (2 enchantments on an ally is nothing for a WoH <50%hp heal). However, thats for PvE, for PvP I don't really think its that useful, because it can't stop spikes (rend enchantment), so its worse than Gift of Health. Dark Deal is also far too powerful, combine with SS and cast diversion then shame on the monk and SS kills your foe (SS lasting 34 seconds is insane, you could maintain it on 3 foes). Conjure Gravel (lol at the name) would be too OP in earth line, because of the insane defensive skill that would make a D/E tank ultrapowered (+100armor+scythe dmg+blind multiple foes on each hit+conjure dmg=way better than a warrior). Dilute Hex is OP in every way compared to all other hex removal. Solace is better than Displacement. Soul Shield is almost as good as Xinrae's Weapon (an elite).Crimmastermind 02:56, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

I agree with most of your comments, and I'm going to change the skills you mentioned, but I do disagree on a few of them. I've seen a lot of other users make skills like Conjure Gravel (what's so funny about that?). Also, Xinrae's Weapon has life stealing and can't be removed, where as Soul Shield can be removed and only limits damage. Thanks for all the feedback! Were there any that you liked, by the way? --Michael the Perfectionist 03:31, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

I like all of your ideas. and nice handy work with the skill icons as well haha. what do you use to edit them?-- Media Control talk 20:37, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! I took a lot of the icons from here, here, and here. Some of them are also just recolored versions of actual skills. If I need to adjust the color, I just go into Microsoft Picture Manager and change it. I'm not very tech-savvy, and I don't know how to use Photoshop, so I try to keep it simple. --Michael 16:15, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

I added a few more skills to my page, and updated the mechanics/icons if you'd like to chekc them out :D-- Media Control talk 23:28, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

I love all of your skills so much! Lacerating Blade, Healer's Cure, and Radiation are my favorites. What do you use to edit your icons? And by the way, you should remember to take a look at Enchanted Purity as I suggested awhile ago. ;) --Michael 04:10, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

I use GNU Image Manipulation program i believe? Im not sure lol. And actually Im trying to delete the pages for Enchanted purity and the other no attribute skills I made.-- Media Control talk 00:50, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
