I was wondering if this deservers a shorter cool down from 300sec. maybe150.There are time when I could really use it and it is on recharge.
Looking for a decent casual understanding Faction.

    When I find Soul Transfusion very useful, although still doesn't help sometimes, blasted deaths. However, if it was shorter, I think venomancers would be way too strong in pve and pvp.

    Pvp, is a maybe(Seeing as I haven't pvped much yet can't say), but still.

    When I first got it, I thought the same thing. Then I got Soul Transfusion, and then I got Nature's Grace. Then I started leveling it up more. At 300 sec it's more than sufficient. Using that skill combo it's basically a 73% mana restore every 5 minutes. In two more levels it jumps to 79%. With 4323 mana right now, that's basically 3156 mana. If I'm chaining Venomous/Ironwood/Pet heal (typical killing setup) it's around 246.05 mana every 9 seconds (27.34/sec). Factor in my 15/sec mana regen and in 5 minutes I have 3156+(15*300)=7656 mana. That mana consumption is 8202 in 300 sec. See the power? As it gets stronger it gets closer and closer to unlimited mana, even though it seems really weak when you first get it.

    The combo only works if you're grinding and not get hit. It's useful as recovery skill, but not as useful to help you survive. Veno has no real heal spell.

    b:surrender As veno you shouldn't really be getting hit. Metabolic boost is awesome for grinding. I managed to grind to 95 without a heiro because of that skill, the switch skill and the mp + 50% skill.
    I have to admit, grinding with a mage or a cleric is kind of nice for when it's on cooldown. I often traded chi for heals while grinding.

    It's much easier for mage venos to not get hit then for a fox form veno to not get hit.

    If you need it more often than every 5 min, just have your pet attack something and get aggro, pop into fox form, then hit the mob with leech a couple times. Heals you right back up.

    As a foxform veno... your pet should still be taking agro from you. If it's not.. you're doing something wrong. Pop a heal on it to give it time to grab agro again.
