Talk:Rend Enchantments

Reduced to 5 energy cost and 1 second cast time on 1/19/7 for the skill balance change test. Llava 17:45, 19 January 2007 (CST)

ANET announced that with a second round of HA testing beginning 02/02/07. They have once again changed this skill back to 5 energy and 1 seconds cast time. Only this time they will not be changing it back after completion of the testing, unlike they did the first time they changed it. Rest in Peace UW solo monks, as SpellBreaker an absolute neccessity.

I'm a bit curious. At level 12, you would be able to remove 8 enchantments and take 31 for each monk one. Now, would one big -248 dmg mark come up? Or 8 -31 show up? I'm thinking if you combine this with protective spirit, you could reduce the damage you take and remove a whole lot of enchantments. On the other hand, I don't think it'd do much if you took 31 damage 8 times. Rickyzhou 22:04, 12 April 2007 (CDT)

UW Nerf?
Is there something in the UW that now uses this skill? I went there with a 55 nec and about 5 seconds after engaging the aatxes, my 3 permanent enchants were removed.


 * The Dying Nightmares use it. They were added way back when. Like around the time Bond was nerfed. &mdash; Stabber &#x270d; 01:47, 27 April 2006 (CDT)

I look forward to using this on dervishes. That will be fun.
 * Ah. but surely it only works on "monk enchantments"? Planeforger 06:20, 25 October 2006 (CDT)


 * No, it will remove all enchantments. However, you take damage for any Monk enchantments you remove with it. - [[Image:Savio_3_mini.gif]] Savio  06:28, 25 October 2006 (CDT)


 * Heh, serves me right for not actually reading the skill. Planeforger 05:02, 26 October 2006 (CDT)


 * Not to mention they can spam it now. :( -- Barrage.
 * 30 seconds cast time is hardly spam
 * (late reply) that's recharge. the recharge time is changed for them. read up, tex. -- Barrage. 19:59, 7 March 2007 (CST)

Update
I'd say this is much better than Gaze of Contempt now. --Theeth (talk)   16:47, 2 February 2007 (CST)
 * Still kinda sucky against monk enchants, though.--Rickyvantof 20:31, 24 February 2007 (CST)
 * rend is cheaper but gaze is pretty assured. consider glyph and call it a day. --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 22:08, 12 April 2007 (CDT)
