A lil "Enchantments" question !! - Guild Wars Forums

When an enchantment has an end effect, and this enchantment was removed by the player or the opponent, does the end effect take effect??

Like in dervish enchantments.

and when a skill effect involves the removal of an enchantment, does this skill remove a random enchantment or the last enchantment cast on the player ??

1. Effect will trigger when the enchantment ends, regardless of how it happens.
2. The most recent or last enchantment is removed.

yes the end effect takes effect ,as for removal of enchantments its the last enchantment that a player has on him that gets removed,its the same for conditions

Enchantment(s) that are removed are in order of what they were cast on your char. So from the left to right on your affects/status monitor bar.

As for removal as I recall playing my Dervish. If an Enchant is removed the "End" effect goes off. Whether by myself or by the enemy. I.E. Rip Enchantment "removes" Enchantments, but so does Twin Moon Sweep "removes" an Enchantment.

It doesn't matter how the enchantment ends - either naturally, removed by an enemy or removed by yourself - the end effect will still happen.

Also, when an enchantment is removed it always removes the most recent enchantment cast on that player. This allows you to cover important enchantments - if there's an enchantment that you don't want enemies to remove from you, you can cast another enchantment on top of it - enemies will be forced to remove the one on top before they can remove the one below it.

I must have messed up my bar somehow it always looks like it takes left to right on mine, with new Enchantments on the right side of the bar. maybe I made it too small or something in the interface. Sorry for the incorrect info there.

Maintained enchantments act differently though. So if you have Balthazar's Spirit and Protective Spirit on your skill bar, and use Balthazar's after Protective, it will still remove Protective. Enchantments are placed in the corner of your screen so you can tell which will be removed. Using the default settings, the top left corner shows them. Farthest to the left are maintained enchantments, in the order they were cast. After the maintained enchantments it lists temporary enchantments from left to right.

So, if you use the following skills in the order listed, you will end up seeing them shown on your screen differently than the order they are cast.

[protective spirit][shield of absorption][essence bond][vital blessing]

They will be listed in the top left corner of your screen as:

[essence bond][vital blessing][protective spirit][shield of absorption]

So if you face a monster with Shatter Enchantment, you will lose Shield of Absorption even though you cast Vital Blessing last.
