I think you just like to disagree with everything I say

Wow guys, thanks for all your input. I must admit I posted without really knowing the right build for e-denial, I have a PvP mesmer but tend to run Illusion build for ranger / warrior hate. As for focus swapping, that's probably above my level of play LOL...I would never have noticed that before but will definitely keep an eye out for it from now on.

Does Mind Wrack end when it triggers? Do you have to reapply it, or is it valid for 20s with only one cast? Seems pretty abusive if the latter is the case! <off to experiment on hapless mobs>

Yes Mind wrack ends when it triggers, so you have to be constantly reapplying it.

The really great news is that its very very cheap, a very low recast time and its spammable and a perfect cover hex. So you can go Mind Wrack, Energy Surge, (energy hits 0 - trigger the wrack), Mind Wrack, Energy Burn and this is a ton of damage. 95+80+95+80 = 350 dmg in just a few seconds. Not to mention keeping their energy around 0 the entire time.

ESurger is one of the best and most popular versions of Mesmer in PVP.

I don't do it on purpose.

But I have never seen Wrack used with Shatter Del. In-between your e-denial skills, wrack, and some support like chant remover, or heal, or whatever, there is simply no room for SD in a Wrack build. That's one... and then there is no actual use of it, since you are going to be ending Wrack with your burns. That's two. So I had to disagree...

If I tend to disagree with you on every post you make, well, you suck, and I'm rite!

Jk.

Just thought about Shackwrack which I forgot to mention. You put Spirit Shacks on a warrior, or ranger, (or Assassin

) and you cover it up with Wrack. They are bound to destroy their nrg, so you just keep hitting with Wrack as soon as they hit 0. Esp on non-adrenal fighter classes, this is devastating- they can't do anything and they take damage every few seconds.

Which is perfect for pve.

Hi, yes mind wrack is spammable and lasts for 20 secs but what i want to know is can you cast it 2 or 3 times on a enemy before casting energy burn/surge to create a huge spike?

Just wondering, that would be alot of dmg! Mb I should go see...

Themis · Apr 19, 2006, 01:56 PM // 13:56

"fortunately" no ! A target can't suffer more than once from the same hex/condition

If you cast it several times on the same target, all you do is renewing its duration (20secs).

MW is an awesome skill, if you know how to play, then its an amazing skill. E-Denial would be very different.

I think it should be elite.
