Shroud of silence may be bad, but it's definitely not worse than wastrel's collapse.

zelgadissan · May 10, 2008, 02:35 PM // 14:35

[wastrel's collapse] is AWFUL. Find me an ANYTHING that doesn't use a skill in 5 seconds. Go ahead, try. Oh, what's that? Abaddon? Wait, why would I care if he's knocked down?

And for the record, my main is a Mesmer. I understand why it could work with [diversion] or [blackout]. My question is: why waste two skills to knock a dude down or *potentially* knock out a heal for a minute? Seriously.

[skill]Unyielding Aura[/skill]

Right now it's about even. At 12 deadly arts it lasts 3 seconds and target can't cast spells. But Wail of Doom, even if requires a little health sacrifice, renders ANYONE harmless except for people with hex-removals (since you don't need attributes to remove a hex), has 3 times shorter recharge and you don't need to get into touch range. And it casts faster by 1/2 ;o

This elite might actually be useful if it had a 1-2 second cast time to get your party back up quickly in a fight (Four Horsemen anybody?). Right now, as said, pointless.

Minion factory? :B
Only I could think of.

Zelg, I would say that Diversion is workable with it. Even then you're probably going to follow up with it though.
The reason it's bad is because it's not instanced, mainly, which you get in things like Gale and Shock. I think so anyway, I may be on crack.

It remains the worst elite in the game.

Personally I would love to know what the idea behind both wastrel hex were! And why this is an elite!

Yes Peace and Harmony.

I said to someone in the lat mission of Prof..

Don't attack The Prince he can not hurt you.. they attack him. How useless is that? It should be that NO ONE can attack the target until the time is up then maybe the team would get a clue.

It would be very effective with 8 monks though as there are not that many baddies in the area. You could wipe the group one at a time while taking damage from only one baddie. Wouldn't that be great!!!

NAaa take all the fun out of bringing a useless elite.

Sethellington · May 27, 2008, 05:36 PM // 17:36

[scavenger's focus] it doesn't do much more damage than conjure, lasts a shorter duration and doesn't require a condition. this needs a serious buff

If they are going to make an elite rez skill at least it should just cost 5 energy and not have to maintain it. And also be like a better version of the none elite monk rez skills.

This skill has really frustrate me. The duration is too low and the recharge is too long. Plus, with the casting time there's a fair chance you'll get interrupted and have to wait a whole minute just to try it again, and possibly it will happen at a most fatal time. It's such a disappointment.

Bo Fairfield · May 27, 2008, 08:31 PM // 20:31

[[Lightbringer Signet] is pretty bad.. the recharge is killer.

because its function is way overpowered and anet is afraid of it.

FACEsmack · Jun 07, 2008, 08:21 AM // 08:21

The worst Elite is either Ray of Judgment (SLOW, HUGE cost), Pious Renewal (Only useful on D, who has it from primary attribute already...), or Charge. I say Pious Renewal, because the only use it can possibly have is to give D more life and energy, which they easily already get.

There is no chance of this skill helping ANYONE besides a Dervish, and Mysticism already does this with no skills at all! I don't see any benefit unless you can somehow manage to lose 50 enchantments in 8 seconds, in which case your entire team is wasting time stacking enchants on you, neglecting their own skills, and dying in the process.

I've never had energy management problems on a derv, because of myst. If health is a problem, try mystic vigor, mystic regeneration, or MYSTICISM ITSELF.

Turbobusa · Jun 07, 2008, 08:59 AM // 08:59

It helps getting the enchantment strip bonus on some skills, as it has a 3s recharge. It's not brilliant but it has its use and can help others via signet of pious light. It's OK.

[Locust's Fury] HOW ON EARTH IS THIS USEFUL?

FACEsmack · Jun 08, 2008, 07:52 PM // 19:52

Wastrel's Worry could be useful if you used it right before Blackout, or had someone else use Blackout on foe. But it's still terrible ahah

Darkside · Jun 10, 2008, 08:47 PM // 20:47

Almost all mesmer elites.
