That's just another reason why [skill=text]Parasitic Bond[/skill] is so awesome. The hex removal spells with the quickest recharge are [skill=text]Signet of Removal[/skill], [skill=text]Divert Hexes[/skill], [skill=text]Blessed Light[/skill] and, to a lesser extent, [skill=text]Withdraw Hexes[/skill]. All of those skills have 5 second recharges. PB has a 2 second recharge. If you have a monk too focused on removing hexes, you can keep him occupied (and keep his energy drained) by spamming that hex indiscriminately.

Then once he gets tired, slips, or decides to just ignore the -1 degen as inconsequential, you can go after whoever you want. Or you could cast it on someone and immediately attack someone else who's already hexed with it. It's really a quality hex to use, and the fact that it gives a heal when it ends is just icing on the cake in my opinion.

Hexes in PvP for sin combo's only work if your enemy monk is already working on healing others, or has his hex removel recharging.

You either try to catch the monk offguard, or simply overload him with hexes( with a friendly mesmer/necro nearby )
