Energy Storage reduction anyone? The Imperialist

Oh man...goodbye to Energy Storage, Expertise, Soul Reaping, Spawning Power, Divine Favor, Critical Strikes, Leadership, and Mysticism. Not to mention if they have any skills linked to those attributes. This is going to mess up sooo many builds if a lot of foes in EotN use it...Thank goodness for Mesmers and Warriors that Fast Casting and Strength are usually irrelevant.

 * The biggest hits are Expertise and Energy Storage... and it's a very short lasting hex. If they added PvE monsters with Mantra of Recovery, Paragons with Hexbreaker Aria would get some resurgence in PvE. --Kale Ironfist 21:14, 1 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Since there's no new elites in EoTN, imagine this with Arcane Echo and then Echo. Its some caster hate indeed... The Imperialist
 * Nah, this skill only really devastates Avatar and Shouting builds. Monks w/o DF are mildly hindered (unless they are BLights, but even they can get by without BL and SoD), ditto Mesmers, Eles might have trouble if they figured on a high energy pool, but even that would be a mild annoyance. Rits can live without SP just fine, and Necros aren't very reliant on their primary attribute after the SR balancing. Warriors are fine, Rangers and Assassins might have tighter energy management (they have the Lotus skills/Preparations to maintain their effectiveness). Paragon's are usually used because they have a reliable source of energy, so they bring normally-expensive skills. This would prevent their use, and the Avatars would become very difficult to use with their 120 second downtimes. This skill will be interesting (needs a duration/recharge buff), but it certainly will not be the game-breaking threat it has been portrayed to be. - [[Image:Candle.jpg|12px]] Krowman (talk • contribs) 15:13, 14 August 2007 (CDT)

Hex Breaker would be a must have. --BeeD 01:08, 6 August 2007 (CDT)

If eles don't regain the energy after this hex this is my new favorite skill. Antiarchangel 20:44, 6 August 2007 (CDT)
 * I'm sure E's do regain that energy. Sounds like R's will be impacted the most.  Good energy denile if hexed user relies on primary for energy management and spams while this hex is active (aside from E who would just be temporarily short on energy).  --Mooseyfate 09:57, 7 August 2007 (CDT)

hehe, the shutdown. The Paintballer (T/C)

nice

My Dervish weeps. The time of the avatars is a close.

With this, who needs interrupts. Shut them down and make them weak as kittens!
 * This skill is win. I'm glad it only lasts 6-7 seconds though. The Hobo 16:42, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
