Curse

Hi, I am currently running an illusion mes, and sometimes I will go on my necro also. My question is when I try to hex a monk, particularly a boon monk, they can get rid of my curses extremely fast with CoP. Stacking many hexes also do not work for the monk would just cast rof or guardian and then CoP. Is there any key way to deal with CoP?

CoP= Conteplation of Purity(or some spelling)

Power Drain
Leech Signet
come to mind

You can also bait it using Parasitic Bond and some other junk hexes, then bury the real stuff... Diversion comes to mind, though you'd want domination regardless...

"Power Drain

Haha, yeah right. There is absolutely no way you could ever interupt this spell without it being pure dumb luck as a mesmer(in the case of power drain, it is actually impossible. CoP is a skill, not a spell). That thing is like 1/4 second cast i believe.
To tell you the truth, there isnt really a great way to stop them outside of dom. Your best bet is to just go after someone else.

Diversion, or having enough enchant hate to keep them from casting...

Interrupting CoF is pointless anyways, it recharges very very fast. Best is diversion, hands down. It doesn't need a high dom skill level to use fairly well, either.

I agree diversion is the only answer for CoP, and hope you get lucky

Alternately if you have enough points in domination, blackout will also work, hex them up and then blackout their skills. Whether this fits with what you are trying to achieve is another matter altogether though.
