Is it just my imagination or did they change Mind Wrack?

Does it still end after dealing damage once?

Does it still end after dealing damage once? Still ends after hexed player drops to 0 energy and they take the damage. Hasn't been changed that I can tell.

I think it's bugged because I've known it to do damage more than once..

Back before the game was pushed out.. mind wrack was a much more devastating skill(alot of people thought it should be elite) because it caused the damage every single time they hit 0 energy for the set length.

Not to mention it did a lot more damage than its current incarnation. If memory serves, it was about the same as backfire.

Okay can someone do a concrete experiment to determine whether or not it does end?

I mean if it doesn't then holy crap!

It ends once the opponent's energy reaches zero. You must reapply it and then drain their energy down to zero again to damage them more.

I personally believe they should make an elite version of the skill that doesnt end for like 12 to 17 or seconds.. doing a little more damage.. in between the current and backfire!

Still, a good counter would be Mantra of Recall ;D
