restore is a skill about master in discipline is it takes equil and you cant use it off balance. is it worth waiting or should you use mending?

The point of restore would be to use it while in a pure healing mode and you needed to use your salve balance for something else.

Salve balance is like 1.4 seconds, so no, it's not worth the wait. There's only one situation I can think of where restore would be useful: when your writhing off a cross but your dangerously close to being sacrificed, you can restore to buy time for the writhe to finish.

Restore is a horrible combat skill. Only use if you run out of mending.

And the eq time is based on the number of limbs broken, not simply a set time like 1.4s.

4 seconds per limb healed. -shudder-

I use restore only for bashing or if I fall down from trees without levitation. So it's good for non-combat uses (saves salves!), but worthless in 99% of combat situations. I wouldn't hassle for the ability itself, but you should have it if you want Focus Mind, which is very useful. Very high in Discipline, too.

Focus Mind is at Fabled if I remember correctly. Restore is extremely useful on other IRE games where Vivisect, a very similar skill to Sacrifice, lacks the cruficiation requirement. It's not particularly useful here but it has its uses.

You wouldn't really want to use it when crucified either, because then you'd be knocked off balance for a long time and not be able to writhe off the cross, so you'd get sacrificed.

Writhe is Balance, Restore is Eq. I believe you could writhe from impalement with only Balance. Thus this will actually work.

You can writhe off balance, so you can restore/writhe, but restoring 4 limbs takes you out for 16 seconds. Never worth it.

Not from impalement, which Crucify is.

Can writhe from impalment off EQ, though

Just need balance.
