Both decent, the 2nd skill even better with [plague touch]. Don't know what game you're playing.

How else do you remove Aegis from an entire team? But I did overlook that one. Outside of Aegis removal in 8v8 situations, it really doesn't see much use.

This is a really decent and underappreciated skill actually. 33% recharge is nice to be able to spam around your team.

This would be a horrible buff.

Making people bring a shield set (even though its common) is kind of weird, and definitely not following the same type of play as the other skills.

Wouldn't the hex end after aegis is finished, or very close to it. Also I would use [skill]Mirror Of Disenchantment[/skill] instead, making this elite look even worse

Crack- agree
Hbutt- no, fine as is tbh
TFocus- idk.. im a fence sitter on this one.
Incendiary-agreeeeeeeeee
Order-meh.. i think its not bad as is tbh
Contagion-its not great, but not as bad as you may think
Air-agree
Panic- am i the only one who loves this skill? lol
Monk skills- yes, and more
Tclap is fine imo, but boon, yes, you're right, sucks
WoQ is beast imo.. idk why you put that. XW is obviously terribad
Fox's is actually decent, but Shroud is straight poop.
I honestly think the only buff dervs could use as far as elites go is Onslaught.
Paras.. they just need help lol. poor guys..

Being that it's a touch hex is also out of the norm for mesmer skills.

In it's current state, it's a hex that is removable in two ways:
1. Getting hit by the hexed foe in ANY manner. Meaning spear/wand/bow/melee.
2. Any hex removal.

So given that the mesmer has to run in to drop the hex on someone melee stlye, it should be only fair that that person has to touch the mesmer back to remove it if they don't have a hex removal. And it lives up to it's name more.

For some reason I was thinking Mirror when I saw this. Hence my reply. Had a dumb moment there. XD

Fox's Promise used to affect any weapon. Scythe assassins forced that nerf. It's still a really wicked skill, even with just daggers. That doesn't need a revert.

[Grenth's Grasp]??? Is this a buff or nerf thread? Good gawd, that needs no buff!

Zeek Aran · Jul 19, 2008, 09:44 PM // 21:44

Buff buff? They should change Wastrel's Collapse. That skill is made of fail. When I was vanqing the area with the boss, he put it on me and I just laughed.

Bring back SHADOWFORM!! PLEASE!!! zomg buff sf again lol

hundred blades is obsolete, since we have dervishes that does the same thing without taking up even a skill slot.

just let it die.

They will turn all the underused ones into pvp ursan clones

(possibly)

Ate of DK · Jul 20, 2008, 09:51 AM // 09:51

I doubt that they will change many skills. Only a few which has been most QQ-ing about for months. And with that Anet closes the PvE chapter.

He's "In the Know"(TM).

He's just saying that he (and the people who know, talk to Izzy, etc.) aren't allowed to say. That's it.

It's like someone saying they are bound by NDA and a bunch of people saying he is braggin'. He isn't. He's just statin' a fact.

[hundred blades]

The only way I can see upgrading this skill is really putting in +damage. For example, if you hit multiple opponents, you deal extra damage. Could be more in PvE, allowing a weaker PvP version, but a buff all the same. I do tend to lulz when I see it being used outside of PvE.
