Talk:Mark of Insecurity

This looks quite nice! Cheap, decent recharge, and lasts quite a while. My question is: will shortened enchantment duration hurt or benefit Dervishes more?

My guess is that, well benefit more. With that they wont have to worry so much about betting rid of enchantmenst for there effects and damage, but as always, depends what they using.

Ignore Dervishes for a sec, and think what this will do to Rangers and Warriors using stances.Labmonkey 06:28, 10 October 2006 (CDT)


 * this skill is the only counter for distortion as it leaves mezs for 2.5 sec gap alowing u to hit it.
 * Counters for Distortion... Wild Blow (Unmissable attack), Wild Throw (Unmissable attack), Wild Strike (Missable, but dual attack chance buffs it). Oh, and a mesmer without 16 Illusion is a counter for it as well, seeing as Distortion scales with Illusion rank. - Patch of Celestia 14:27, 7 December 2006 (CST)

For its cost and recharge, you can make lots of rangers and warriors piss their pants with this one. Kessel 12:11, 11 October 2006 (CDT)

Psst, here's a secret! Using this as well as mirrored stance will cause whatever stance the enemy goes into to go on for half as long, while you get the full duration! Tested with a dervish buddy using Conviction. -Isidore Robespierre

Psst, here's a secret! Using this on a foe won't get the hex to work on you. So, actually, duh... Blaze 14:19, 17 December 2006 (CST)

No, it might have not worked out that way. As the hex is making the stance half the duration, and your copying that stance. It might have ended that you couldnt stay in that stance if your foe wasn't still in it.

Patch of Celestia,Wild Strike is an off-hand skill and cannot have a double strike chance, so if it misses, it won't have another chance to remove the stance until it recharges. --Nyc Elite 22:26, 2 January 2007 (CST)

About Dervishes, it does cause them problems because with their enchants only lasting half as long as they usually do they gotta work harder to keep them up. Not so much as energy wise (mysticism) but timewise lowering their damage output. Of course this is only based on an observer's point of veiw. I can't say that this skill is t3h ub3r l33tzorz yet it's a nice and reliable skill. Makes it a lot easier to find that hole in enemy's defenses. An assassin only needs one :). -Isi

it would be real nice if you could get it on regualr jahai, i beat the game before i new it was there so no its going take a guildy that has NFJ to help me. ~the rat~
 * You can go there whenever you want, it's an explorable area in the Realm of Torment and doesn't revert like Nightfallen Seborhin. RossMM 14:03, 26 February 2007 (CST)

yeah found that out by accident, the way wikki talks about it you cant go back.....ah well i got the two sin skills in NFJ now. ~the rat~

Not to mention this is a cheap, quick hex for all of your Black lotus strike needs. --Ckal Ktak 07:55, 15 May 2007 (CDT)

This spell could be helpful against shiro from last mission in factions although shiro halves the hex but u half his stances which could reduce some of the dmg due to his stances if all the other major hexes like sv or ss is taken by someone else in the party.ImpulseDestiny 05:23, 9 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Except his double strike/AoE hit stance is the fastest way to kill him due to SV --Gimmethegepgun 05:27, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
