 * Issue
 * The last buff made it able to disable a melee 100% of the time. Since the punishment is greater than any melee's DPS, this ultimately kills the attacker faster.


 * Suggestion
 * Increase recharge or drop duration. It's duration need to be <75% of it's recharge

Too effective for shutting down melee 100% of the time

 * Issue
 * If you don't have a skill that removes hexes, you are useless for 16 second.


 * Suggestion
 * Reduce cast time to 1 second, make it only apply to next 1...4...5 attacks. reduce damage to 15...39...47
 * or make it only deal damage if the attack hits.

Not useful in PvE

 * Issue
 * 10 second recharge and no area of effect make it underpowered in PvE


 * Suggestion
 * Split into PvE skill and EITHER give it 5 second recharge OR adjacent area of effect.

 * Issue:
 * See Above ^_^


 * Suggestion:
 * Change Functionality to:
 * - - (Domination Magic) - Hex Spell. Also hexes foes adjacent to target. (6 seconds.) These foes take  damage whenever they attack. Renewal: Empathy is refreshed for 6 seconds whenever foes attack.
