Talk:Withdraw Hexes

The 4 cast time is ASKING for an interrupt/KD. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Life Infusion (contribs) 07:53, 7 April 2006.
 * Fine in PvE, or if the metagame gets hex crazy, with Glyph of Sacrifice or Fast Casting, maybe. Still, the time seems long.  --JoDiamonds 16:53, 1 May 2006 (CDT)
 * The casttime is one second, so it should be very usable in PvP. Dunno whether the info was outdated or plain wrong. -- Lasca 16:31, 6 May 2006 (CDT)
 * skill was changed between beta and production --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 19:48, 13 August 2006 (CDT)
 * The comment was made between the preview and release. I believe Lasca was correct and the wiki was simply wrong at the time.  Especially considering how much the skill sucks with a 1s cast, a 4s cast would have been insane.  --68.142.14.39 20:02, 13 August 2006 (CDT)

Combining with Arcane echo?
Combining this with arcane echo? 15+15 energy to remove all hexes... that is insane. I dont think any real monk would consider doing this just to remove bunch of hexes.. Why not Glyph of Sacrifice+Convert hexes for faster cast, lesser energy? This makes no sense. (forgot to sign) Amilo Robin   06:44, 23 August 2006 (CDT)
 * You forget that this elite removes hexes "from target ally and all adjacent allies", hence making it more powerful than using Glyph of Sacrifice/Essence followed by Convert Hexes. 220.233.103.77 06:46, 23 August 2006 (CDT)

Oh it isnt THAT bad rly...
When you think about it, this skill and convert hexes allow for a complete wipeout of hexes, making it far easier to remove the more dangerous hexes that lay underneath the usual parasitic bond and malaise. I rly think it should be lowered to 10 energy tho, elites are meant to be gamebreaking almost, and this only is an AoE version of convert hexes: Who the heck wants hex removable AoE? at most 3-4 people will have hexes at any one time, so its doubtful anyone else will be hit if its adjacent. If it remains 15 energy it really should be changed to "in the area" (Not a fifty five 02:15, 4 September 2006 (CDT))
 * You're contridicting yourself :P &mdash; Skuld 02:17, 4 September 2006 (CDT)
 * You're to freakin fast dangit! And yeah I just realised that lol. (Not a fifty five 02:18, 4 September 2006 (CDT))
 * This spell would be great for smite balls BMW 02:25, 4 September 2006 (CDT)
 * :D
 * Why? Smiteballs don't care about hexes (cept rust but no-one uses that) if they have migrain they'll just use healing spring and they're under QZ, NR and TQ anyway &mdash; Skuld 02:38, 4 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Backfire, arcane conundrum, SS, lingering curse, arcane langour, etc silly :P SS on smiteball would hurt dont you agree? almost fatal if echoed rly. (Not a fifty five 03:05, 4 September 2006 (CDT))
 * It's Shatter Storm for Hexes. Just use the same tricks you would for Shatter Storm. Echoing, glyphs etc.193.61.111.50 08:25, 19 September 2006 (CDT)

Bug?
It seems that everwhere we link to this image, it is coming up with text. Example,. Anyone have anyclue as to why? Turk Nagona 15:42, 15 January 2007 (CST)


 * What's the problem? [[Image:Withdraw Hexes.jpg|25px]] no text there --FireFox [[Image:firefoxav.gif]] 15:48, 15 January 2007 (CST)


 * Look at the code, also take a look at this Turk Nagona 17:01, 15 January 2007 (CST)


 * It's not a bug, you're using Template:Skill icon &mdash; Skuld 17:02, 15 January 2007 (CST)


 * Then why is the image not showing up on the Elite Skill list? (Forgive my ignorance) Turk Nagona 17:11, 15 January 2007 (CST)


 * Fine for me, try clearing your cache &mdash; Skuld 17:24, 15 January 2007 (CST)


 * Seems to have worked, thanks. Turk Nagona 21:40, 15 January 2007 (CST)

Wow
Never really noticed this one, but wow... Needs a buff-stick fast. &mdash; Rapta   (talk|contribs) 11:27, 31 January 2007 (CST)
 * Even shatter storm outclasses this skill, un-linked, faster average cd, less energy. Yeah, buff-me-plz skill. --8765 11:35, 31 January 2007 (CST)
 * Purge signet is 1000000x better than this.  TBDMurder[[image:Spirit's Strength.jpg|20px]] 17:10, 10 February 2007 (CST)
 * Purge Signet is TERRIBLE it makes you lose energy and personally I wouldn't dream of using Purge Signet over this whatsoever, especially with all the Reaper's Mark necros and SS necros running around PvP and GvGs lately.
 * With weapon swaps, you end up using losing little or no energy. You can pretty easily run this on any caster.  --Fyren 18:02, 6 March 2007 (CST)
 * Except even then, this is crappier than convert hexes if you remove 2 or more hexes, which even expel hexes does a better job of. absolutely no reason to use this... ever.-- Thelordofblah 21:33, 26 June 2007 (CDT)

Figured it deserved this terribly badly:
