I see people saying here that they us Wastrel's Worry and Shater Delusions for big damage. I thought that Wastrel's only did damage after 3 seconds... not when it ended.

So if a person DID something they would not take damage.

If the hex was shattered they would not take damage from it.

Right? Wrong?

Comepletely right. Firstm it it's removed, and oops, you lost 5 energy which you will immediately reuse. Second, 3 seconds.... most Ele's take 4 seconds to put off a massive damage spell, and warriors have little energy, and lack attention to which new purple hex is on their bar. Using WW on monks/Necors is, very likely, a waste of energy.

It is far from a waste of energy on monks. It is used to stack your hex'es, or to make them do something so they get hit with backfire or diversion. If you put backfire on a monk the first thing they are going to do is use remove hex on it. By the time it goes off they have WW on and remove that instead and still have backfire. This has happened to me many times, it is so annoying. WW is very useful like that since it is tied for the fastest cast hex in the game. Amity is the only other hex tied with 1/4 sec.

Your 'big' damage will be easily outdone by a ranger or warrior. Wastrels Worry belongs in the rubbish heap; MW is a much better cover hex even though it sucks too and rather than using a cover hex how about you interrupt the 2 second remove hex?

If there's more than one monk, the monk that has backfire doesn't necessarily have to remove it. Other people can remove hexes besides the person who has it on them.

So what?

As a mes you should never babysit one target.

If you throw diversion on someone you can effectively ignore him for those few seconds and watch the other two monks for a remove hex. If a remove hex gets diverted so much the better because it is spammable and should be spammed.

Or how about you stop being a retard and get a proper hex removal?
