All three of the icons there look much much better then what I normally see here or in game. They looked like they were cleaned up before use, and the person who did it probably thought the hypno-spiral looked bad. Which it does. =P RitualDoll 19:20, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

does the 2x casting time add up with the 2x casting time of daze?


 * i bet 50€ it does, 20 secs of meteor shower,or 15? thats the question :p 84.192.144.207 18:09, 7 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Hey it doesnt. There is a stack limit of 50%. I want your money... 77.186.67.196 11:45, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Hero Skill Trainer
Does this skill trainer in Chantry of Secrets learn the skill? It appears to me as not, though I might be wrong. Still, he cannot teach it to me and my hero's - using unlocked skills - cannot use it.

 * Shouldn't it be under Illusion Magic, not Domination? - [[Image:User HeWhoIsPale sig.PNG]] HeWhoIsPale 21:33, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
 * My fault, you're right... I'll check it out under Illusion, probably it will be there indeed. Thanks for reacting :). &mdash; FHM TALKS 16:06, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Note
"Makes interrupting easier because the spells take longer to cast." I would never have guessed it. Why don't we say that allows you to cast expensive spells more often because it doubles energy regeneration? Shouldn't the notes give more useful information like the ones on ?

icon
what is it? it looks like an axe wearing a crown... Materia user 20:09, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

It looks like the Daze condition bubble effect around a staff. It kinda sorta maybe fits. Justice 06:04, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Rock tied to stick, I guess? -- ᴥ GreyGhost (talk!) ᴥ 03:34, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Kinda cute, when you look at it, considering mesmers are all like -- Neil  • User Neil2250 sig icon6.png 22:42, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
 * It looks more like a Skill Gem to me. --Sinharath 10:24, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Energy
If this is applied to multiple foes, does it give energy multiple times on end? It seems like it would, but, knowing anet, that's not a given. &mdash; Raine Valen    16:11, 7 Dec 2010 (UTC)
 * The note says it does. Testing it in the isle of the nameless confirms it. Cheapy 22:08, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Dang, that's some serious gain available. -- ஸ Kyoshi [[Image:User_Kyoshi_sig2.png|19px]] 22:10, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure does - awesome to have Soul Reaping for a mesmer :) --[[Image:User_Chieftain_Alex_Chieftain Signature.png]] Chieftain  Alex  22:12, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
 * The note wasn't there when I asked. :3 &mdash; Raine Valen  [[Image:User_Raine_R.gif|19px]]  22:31, 12 Dec 2010 (UTC)
 * It's been there since May =/ Cheapy 22:51, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Holy frick...you dont even have to cast it on casters for an energy gain. Blah...gole still trumps this though and its not a delayed energy gain. Would have to drop this on like 3-4 (only run 14 illusion so 4 for me) foes to compete with gole. Justice 23:52, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Sure, ignoring the fact that:

1)the main use of AC is slowing enemy cast times (utility) 2)AC recharges less time than GoLE 3)the end effect AC energy gain is part of a cycle effect that returns potentially more than spent whereas GoLE is only good for 2 spells/30sec and you'd have to pick +10e spells to make it worthwhile when most mesmers are supposed to be interrupting with 5e spells. You know what they say about apples and oranges ppl....... -Wrei 110.175.241.56 17:21, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Were just looking at the energy returns on it. No reason to freak. Justice 12:31, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

No energy gained on enemy death?
Do you gain energy from this hex when the foe you casted on it dies while hexed? Because it looks to me as not.82.95.85.186 14:29, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Also, if you use this with Sum of All Fears does it double the 33% casting time, making it 66%?
