Talk:Siphon Speed

anyone know if the speed boosts form this stack? &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.138.90.157 (talk &bull; contribs) 18:08, 8 July 2006 (CDT).
 * They do, but it's pointless to try to get a boost from more than two foes IMO &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 201.67.168.199 (talk &bull; contribs) 18:44, 19 August 2006 (CDT).
 * movement speed does not stack beyond 25% --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 18:51, 19 August 2006 (CDT)
 * 33%, I think. It's definitely higher than 25%.  --68.142.14.32 19:58, 19 August 2006 (CDT) dash....
 * i was sure they issued an update to the movement speed stacking cap, but i can't locate it now. current research is 33%. --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 20:12, 19 August 2006 (CDT)
 * This really has to be one of the best snaring skills in the game, especially as a non-elite. Now after the upgrade from 25 to 33%, it's just amazing. Even the half cast reange is no big deal. Tarinoc 18:14, 14 September 2006 (CDT)
 * it seems that they do stack, even bypassing the cap, (possibly because the boosts come from the same "source") allowing you to zip along VERY fast Oljomo 09:28, 19 September 2006 (CDT)
 * This does stack? can someone pleas verify that? if it does stack then this could be a pretty awesome skill 205.188.116.6 21:22, 11 October 2006 (CDT)

i am testing Oljomo's claim now 205.188.116.6 21:38, 11 October 2006 (CDT)
 * It does stack, but stacking is pointless. And, movement speed buff is capped at 50% I believe (most notable in Dash). While movement debuff is capped at 90% I believe (cripple is 50% and most water hexes debuff 66% except for Mind Freeze which slows 90%). --Nyc Elite 12:10, 3 January 2007 (CST)
 * We're talking about stacking caps here, not the fastest buff/debuff skills. While Dash is 50%, sprint and windborne speed only get you 33% or so. Even throw in a Storm Djinn's Haste and you won't be moving faster at all. Ditto with the snares. &mdash; Nova  [[Image:Neo-NovaSmall.jpg]] --  (contribs) 15:27, 17 August 2007 (CDT)
 * It DOES matter that it stacks though. I remember one occasion where I was crippled and yet I was moving faster than normal because I had multiple copies of this thrown around --Gimmethegepgun 15:30, 17 August 2007 (CDT)

can this be used as a running skill, or does it end when you get outta range?
 * Not that I know of. Olmec 10:58, 20 February 2007 (CST)
 * As long as the hex remains on your opponent, you keep the speed boost. However, it's pointless for a run skill, as that means you need to get within a dangerous range just to get a speed boost. There are far better pure run skills than this. --8765 16:56, 13 March 2007 (CDT)

Stupidest fuckin recharge ever..--67.164.57.79 18:25, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Funny thing was their maths was incorrect. You'd be moving twice as fast compared to the hex foe. Or maybe it's just me. --Kale Ironfist 23:26, 29 May 2007 (CDT)

well the one debuffed wil run 67% of their speed. and the caster will run 133% of their speed. 133/67 = 1,98 .. 86.91.128.247 15:03, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Byebye, Siphon Speed, I will miss you. No sane healer would ever let this last even half of the duration anyways, and now you can't rehex, you got no flexibility, need to rely on cripple which is MOST EASILY removed for anti-kite and have a 30second (they stand still in most cases you cast it) cooldown useless spell.-- Taki Fujiko  20:46, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Dark Prison. Yikey ∞  20:48, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Wow, now sins don't have any useful hexes to use now that requires hexes to active. Nice nerf though, but for a ninja, middle finger.--Dark Paladin X 20:58, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Don't worry, sin's still have.....um....Shadowy Burden? Well, theres always /N. Vainity And Sorrow
 * Add sins to GW then nerf the shit out of them to the point where playing them is useless with other profs around.....typical anet-ish. 70.176.211.246 22:33, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Actualy, the chain of events is this: anet adds skills to game, players find strong combos, players over abuse, anet nerfs, players get pissed at their own folly. --[[Image:AlariSig.jpg]] 00:01, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * lol, i completely agree with you alari. cheers Konradishes 10:19, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * one thing is nerf a skill, the other is to kill it to the point that is completely useless--LaDoncella 02:09, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

NERF
LAWL LAWL finally this most overpowered skill gets nerfed gg.

Well DA Spike sins are pretty much dead now too...what's left? SA? 76.89.81.150 00:22, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Balanced?--Gigathrash 01:07, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * 5 sec recharges was pretty OP... but this is kinda too much imo. I think 10/20 recharge would do... Oh well, can't really complain. I don't play 'sin that much anyways. <.< J Striker 10:23, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Looks like Izzy hit a home run with his nerf bat. P A R A S I T I C 21:31, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * the long recharge kills this skill--LaDoncella 01:16, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
