Talk:Rending Sweep

Surprised I haven't seen this used yet
Is it me, or is this skill really really good? Most enchant removal skills have a ten second recharge at best, and they too have strings attached like Rending Sweep. Not even a Scythe attack, too! Getting a hex from a fellow Mesmer or Necro on your team would be quite easy. --Ufelder 12:14, 19 December 2006 (CST)

Seems useful, huh? Easily spammable, and it isn't a Scythe Attack... great for Assassin use, like it says. LavaEdge324 17:33, 10 January 2007 (CST)
 * Did Arenanet fix this? They ought to. -- &middot;&middot;&middot;&raquo; Life Infusion &middot;&middot;&middot; 15:35, 18 January 2007 (CST)
 * It's a Melee Attack, there's nothing to fix.--95.48.33.10 03:30, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

If you are under Avatar of Grenth and hit a hexed foe with this, do you remove 2 enchantments? 81.65.248.185

Bugged?
This is currently bugged and removes all Enchantments from the target. Mix with Expose Defenses or anything similiar and enjoy removing all of the protection a Monk has put on the target. Adding bug template once further verification is complete.-Lost Reaverbot 14:52, 19 December 2006 (CST)

its bugged and needs to be fixed badly. i left a half second in between casts of Obsidian Flesh and got hit with soothing images and that was the run ender for gloom. GG rending sweep.--Domon Kasho 01:45, 26 December 2006 (CST)

this skill is definatly bugged. I didn't notice it until someone pointed it out to me the other day in gloom, but my enchants kept dropping and I couldn't figure out why. at first I thought the bonder was running out of range, but I do distinctly remember seeing a rending sweep on the "list of stuff that killed you" box. I would appreciate a bug fix ASAP A-Net!!!! Actellim 12:53, 31 January 2007 (CST)

Its been fixed in last tuesday's patch (2/6/07).

lift enchantment
(same energy cost, 10 sec recharge, requires lead) is kinda similar, but yet, a bit lamer(if only it dealt some damage)
 * Lift isn't an attack or even touch range. --Fyren 02:34, 14 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Or maybe I just suck. --Fyren 02:35, 14 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Surprised nobody has mentioned how badly this got nerfed M s4 18:12, 7 May 2007 (CDT)

Best Hex to use?
I'm thinking D/Me: Shrinking Armor + Rending Sweep + Aura Slicer. Assuming you can get the Hex on before they put up Spell Breaker or anything, then you get to remove Enchantments while SA is up and remove more after they get Cracked Armor. (T/C) 22:33, 8 September 2007 (CDT)
