 * Does this reduce attack skill damage, too?
 * If you cast this on a warrior boss, is his damage doubled before or after the damage penalty?
 * Being that it behaves as a touch skill, will the shout "Can't Touch This!" cause it to fail? (See List_of_skill_anomalies)

 * "Hex Spell", not "skill". So I guess no. Can't Touch this! is there as a counter to blackout spam/Shock/touchies. It's not there to kill spells.Labmonkey 06:24, 10 October 2006 (CDT)

Critical % of 83.3%
Using this skill along with critical eye and a rank of 16(superior rune+mask) with critical strikes and a rank of 13(minor rune) in dagger mastery you would have a 83.3% chance to critical. Meaning every 4 out of 5 hits would be ctitical strikes, with a total gain of 16 energy. Those 4 hits are apprx 200 damage(being a critical hit takes a minimum of 50 dmg). Building critical strikes not only helps your energy gain but also helps your DPS(damage per second).

inaccurate

 * An excellent anti-warrior, dervish or even paragon skill, reducing damage with each of their attacks. This is less effective against rangers and assassins which mostly rely on their skills to be effective.
 * this skill will remove bonus damage from attacks
 * and both also deal damage in smaller packets meaning that this is even more of a debuff-only rangers with heavy duty preparations will be greatly affected
 * The point is that rangers and assassins get a significant amount of their work done though effects that aren't straight damage. Burning arrow, apply poison, black spider, twisting fangs.  --Fyren 22:16, 20 March 2007 (CDT)
