Talk:Mark of Subversion

I'm always puzzled whether the "ally" in the skill description means ally of the player or ally of the target. Friend or foe? -- 19:03, 3 March 2006 (CST)
 * Check out the notes on Shame. I believe it works the same way. Evil_Greven 01:12, 4 March 2006
 * Correct. "Ally" from the view of the hexed.  Shame and subversion on enemy monks, guilt on their offense.  --68.142.14.11 03:43, 4 March 2006 (CST)
 * The skill description is much improved in game now, preventing such confusion. --JoDiamonds 22:55, 12 April 2006 (CDT)

I have found that this skill works very well in PvP when used against (of course) monks. This spell often goes unnoticed because it is not often used, and thus not everyone will immediately understand what's going to happen to them when they use a spell. For this reason, it is very effective against not only monks, but W/Mo who use Healing Breeze and Healing Hands or virtually any other healing spell to sustain themselves. Because the spell not only steals a respectably high sum of health, but interrupts as well, it will often result in the death of a W/Mo or monk under pressure. Unfortunately, due to the long recharge time, it is only useful when used prudently and tactfully. It only interrupts the very next spell and does not thereafter affect the victim. However, thanks to the high damage output, the spell IS worth it.
