User talk:Tycn/Spiritual Agony

Needs to be either Elite or have a longer recharge. I mean, it's -9 degen for 5 Energy, unconditional, use again in 15 seconds...and could potentially be kept up permanently? Cast time too, for a Mesmer skill! I would say that the degen be reduced to -1...4, it lasts 5 seconds, and also snares for 15% slower movement. At the end of 5 seconds, if they're in range of a Spirit, it renews itself. That would be alright for a non-elite...a pretty good non-elite, just like Spiritual Pain used to be.

maybe it should be like Illusion of Pain, the target gets healed when it ends. Otherwise this should definately be Elite. --Rickyvantof 18:17, 14 April 2007 (CDT)

If they're not in the area of a spirit, it degens the same as Images of Remorse. Not that overpowered. Maybe a little, though. Changed it a bit. Tycn 22:18, 14 April 2007 (CDT)

What? Images of Remorse only does 1...3 degen, not 4...9! (T/C) 19:06, 16 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Over time I mean, because you could only have it active 1/3 of the time if they're not near a spirit. So it's not that powerful except against spirit spammers. Tycn 22:26, 16 April 2007 (CDT)

So the hex never ends while they stay by their spirits? --Emelend 22:50, 16 April 2007 (CDT)

Basically, yes. Tycn 22:58, 16 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Ouch. xD --Emelend 23:09, 16 April 2007 (CDT)


 * Make sure to use Crippling Anguish on them afterwards then to make sure they don't flee... or Iron Mist/Binding Chains and watch them shrivel up and die :D --Gimmethegepgun 12:14, 14 May 2007 (CDT)


 * Yeah... yet another way to abuse those poor rits :p Tycn 02:01, 15 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Skills that don't need to be 1/4 cast time shouldnt be. Take Wastrel's Collaspe, it's kinda like this skill in a sense but sins need to get back to their combo fast then wait for recharges/adrenaline rather than spell casters which are active. Besides most hexes like these are 1 or 2 cast time. M s4
