Talk:Holy Veil

Am I missing something here? "Any hexes cast on target foe take twice as long to cast" (ingame description, here it's "target creature").. so basically you're causing any members of your party to take longer to cast hexes on a target foe/creature? Wow, how useful. :) Can anyone clarify? --Midk 16:22, 25 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * Wow! You just discovered a bug in the game!! :) Ok, it's in the text only. :) I tested it just now with my W/Mo, I cast it on a Grawl and the spell was cast, but on me. So, it's "target ally" --Karlos 17:01, 25 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * And the picture was changed from the veiled woman to something else.. --Karlos 17:02, 25 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * Ah, k. :) When I first read it, I wondered if maybe "foe" was a typo of "ally"... that's the only really logical explanation.. unless some monks like giving mesmers a hard time ;) --Midk 18:20, 25 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * I think the icon's always been different since the retail release. The official icon set is old and contains skills that were removed.  I mailed the "community relations" (or whatever) address provided about providing an updated correct/complete icon set but never got a response.  It's probably been a month now... --Fyren 22:10, 25 Sep 2005 (EST)

Question, can you get a hex removed by recasting this on someone you are already maintaining this enchantment on? i.e. I have holy veil on myself and then i get hit with 2 hexes. If I recast on myself do i lose one of the hexes and still keep this enchant on myself? As in I would then only have one hex left on me plus i would have holy veil still on me? I know that sort of idea works with other enchants.


 * I just checked on this myself and found that it doesnt cancel one hex if you cast it on yourself and are already maintining holy veil on yourself. I'm assuming it is the same deal if you maintain it on an ally. That is a bit weak since the only difference is that you have to do a lot more clicking with the mouse to remove the hex and then recast it. Adding the desired effect I described only gets rid of the erroneous clicking. They should fix that.
