User talk:Utter Havoc/Horgsons Curse

I'm a little curious as to how you got your inspiration. 15:31, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Me too, really. I just looked for something users want. They'e been howling for sex changes since last years April Fools. So I put a twist on it to make it a useful skill, and ran with it...Utter Havoc 16:04, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Problematically, this skill is fairly overpowered. When Daze is applied it interrupts, and as a mesmer skill this should normally be cast in roughly 1⁄2s or less. It will also interrupt again when it ends. It also doesn't require melee range (Spear Swipe, Temple Strike) or line of sight and a fairly stationary target (Broad Head Arrow, Stunning Strike), nor is it conditional at all (Skull Crack, Concussion Shot). So what we have here is an unconditional, non-elite spell which can easily be combined with Echo to shut down a spellcaster for a VERY long period of time. How to fix it? I dunno. :o [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 16:17, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Still 15 energy+45 sec recharge is fairly costly--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (Talk /Contribs ) 16:20, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Glyph of Renewal and Auspicious Incantation. It would be totally rape. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 16:22, 23 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I guarantee whatever spellcaster you target will not cast again. Silencing +5e Spear for extra lols. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 16:26, 23 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Hmm...good point. I'd say change attribute to Fast Casting so only mesmer primaries can make any use of it, and change skill type to skill so its not affected by glyph. Also increase energy cost or make elite. That way its essentially a better but more costly version of Web of Disruption--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (Talk /Contribs ) 16:29, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, Spear Swipe is also non-conditional and non-elite, being limited only in range. It does attack damage plus bonus damage, and can be used twice in less time than this skills recharge, inflicting a total of 28 to 54 damage plus 34 bonus damage at 12 Leadership, and causing dazed twice for a total of 12 seconds each, which can also be increased to 16 seconds per use, or 32 seconds total, with a silencing weapon. This spell is really not that powerful, since one of the two hex conditions can be removed by removing the hex, and both can be removed by removing the conditions. I think the game needs something like this.  Warriors are constantly being shut down through blindness and blocking; casters have too long been free of these considerations when designing their builds... Utter Havoc 17:01, 23 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Spear Swipe can be Blocked, and any semi-intelligent Monk knows how <3 Guardian is. Also, I've seen it being Dodged once O_o That must be hard... Or I lagged again. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage 17:09, 23 April 2008 (UTC)


 * You can dodge spear swipe!!?? o_O--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (Talk /Contribs</B> ) 17:12, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Dodging a melee ranged attack? Thats impressive.  Okay I'll increase the recharge to a whopping 60 seconds! That's good for 3 spear swipes.... Utter Havoc 17:14, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Increase cast time to 2 or 3 seconds; my point earlier was that it could be used as an interrupt as well as everything else. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 17:15, 23 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Or make it special: The foe is not interrupted when the Dazed is applied. Would already be a big addition ;) --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage 17:17, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Elite is fine. The icon even looks better.  Is noone going to comment on the bearded, hairy chested woman?  I worked hard and long on that... Utter Havoc 17:26, 23 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I already said, cool icon, here :P--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (<font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green">Contribs</B> ) 17:29, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

(Reset indent) you could either add this to the image page: or just upload over it-- - (<font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green">Contribs</B> ) 17:37, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
