We all know and love the "of Enchanting" mod that grants us an additional 20% duration on our enchantments. So why the hell do we not have a "of Hexing" mod for our staves? That of course would give a 20% additional duration on all hexes you cast.

go ahead and /sign if you agree
and if you don't agree... please explain why

tenshi_strife · May 09, 2007, 11:26 PM // 23:26

i have been wondering this too. i mean tehre are just as many hex removals as there are enchant removals so yea

Hm.... well... when you have a +20% mod in a weapon, affects the enchantmens on you only.

But this would enlarge duration in all hexed foes...

tenshi_strife · May 09, 2007, 11:47 PM // 23:47

no hexs you cast, this would affect hexs you cast ^^

Helcaraxe · May 10, 2007, 12:19 AM // 00:19

and there would be downsides to it as well... think of [skill]Wastrel's Worry[/skill] and [skill]Shatterstone[/skill] and skills like that want to have shorter durations.

tenshi_strife · May 10, 2007, 01:27 AM // 01:27

yea but when you run those you dont bring this wrapping ^^

Yawgmoth · May 10, 2007, 02:08 AM // 02:08

Overpowered imba!
Enchantments were designed with the 20% longer mod in mind, hexes were not.
Every hex using character would use it so the mere existance of such a mod means a +20% buff for all hexes in game!
Hexes are already on the edge of dominating the metagame and remain a strong force everyone must be prepared to fight, they really don't need such a buff.

..downsides? hexes that wan't be short? lol, ever heard of weapon switching?

Tukmolytes · May 10, 2007, 02:12 AM // 02:12

I agree with this mod, as a necromancer this is what I need I don't need the 20% enchant mod. And yeah, if you need hexes to be short then DON'T mod your staff with this. It's that simple

+ this mod = imbalance

placebo overdose · May 10, 2007, 02:44 AM // 02:44

i understand what ppl are saying why it is a good idea well 20% enchant exists why not hexs
but if you look at it like said before hexes dont need this boost to be very powerfull

[skill]Mantra of Recovery[/skill] [skill]backfire[/skill] +this = way too good lol that would be a pain

Helcaraxe · May 10, 2007, 05:01 PM // 17:01

like tenshi said though... there are more than enough hex removals in the game. And they aren't even only in one profession... and skills like smite hex and holy veil are open to every profession.

This would not be game breaking... if your team can't seem to remove hexes even with skills like [skill]Divert Hexes[/skill] then I suggest you find someone new... last I checked hexes in PvP rarely last their full duration, and some of them are just waited out.

Selket · May 10, 2007, 05:13 PM // 17:13

PLUS U KAN INTERUPT THEM!11!!1!11!!!!1

This mod is balanced like signet of might!1!1!

OhCrapLions · May 11, 2007, 02:30 AM // 02:30

I see why not, there are plenty of ways to remove hexes and a lot of the better ones work well with any build. The only thing this hurts is PvE enemy effectiveness.

Ye, and there are skills that dont need to 20%ench, like [skill]Mantra of Recall[/skill].

Still /signed

/Not signet, this will alter skill balance, heck some necromancers hexes last over 40 seconds already. Trully, I'd love to make my mesmer a real pain in the ass with the illusion skills, but it's just too much.
