Talk:Cry of Pain

well, this is extremely underwhelming.... I was hoping that a PvE only skill for the mesmer would actually be good.... this is just cry of frustration on crack - Fyren Myr


 * Perhaps more underwhelming is that this is Necrosis on crack. Spen 20:10, 15 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Necrosis is spammable, this isn't. The Hobo 20:15, 15 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Necrosis is even better for Primary Mesmers. ;) -- L u i g i  [[Image:Luigi shodansig.jpg]] (T/C) 21:09, 15 June 2007 (CDT)
 * this isn't going to save the mesmer. At best it is Lightbringer's gaze that can be used everywhere.--&raquo; Life Infusion &laquo;T&raquo; 21:46, 15 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Doesn't have to interrupt to cause its damage. -- JadeWarrior 22:29, 15 June 2007 (CDT)
 * I think I'm the only person impressed by this. Lightbringer's Gaze deals holy damage, but it isn't armor-ignoring like Cry of Pain. It has the extremely large in the area range, which mesmers (who aren't renown for AoEs) can wreck havoc with, especially in combination with Mantra of Recovery -- effectively making the recharge 10 seconds. Echo and Arcane Echo are also options. This would make for a great mesmer PvE AoE spike. Conscript 21:03, 16 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Look at my comment just two below yours :P--Mafaraxas 22:33, 16 June 2007 (CDT)


 * Mesmer's used to have good AoE: E-surge and Spiritual Pain had a huge area until they got nerfed. As a PvE mesmer, I think this skill looks quite nice; mesmer hex = easy condition to meet. 74.129.145.8 09:12, 17 June 2007 (CDT) (forgot to sign-in) Zaboomafoo 09:12, 17 June 2007 (CDT)

I think some people forget the interupption here? It works on skills and is cheaper than Cry --Blue.rellik 03:19, 16 June 2007 (CDT)

Re the progression edit: lol, I was in the middle of editing the article to add a progression, was very confused when I clicked 'Show preview' and saw a second progression table. Anyways, as far as the skill, it's really not underwhelming. This combines well with other mesmer skills to make an excellent AoE spike. This could probably be considered one of the truly multi-purpose skills; either as an excellent interrupt (as it hits all skills) or excellent in-the-area armor-ignoring damage when you combine it with mesmer hexes of varying synergy. Wastrel's Worry comes to mind; interrupt them to prevent the use of a skill, get the AoE damage, then get the WW damage.--Mafaraxas 03:36, 16 June 2007 (CDT)

I might use this...if I was wasted. Readem (talk *contribs ) 03:38, 16 June 2007 (CDT)

The imagination used for these new skills is amazing!--RedFeather 05:28, 16 June 2007 (CDT)
