 * Bad skill that poses a mediocre threat and, even in the case where it works, requires no skill from the user.


 * Suggestion
 * Similar to the above. I would suggest a costly skill with a low recharge like 15 ¼ 8. A good mesmer would be a potent threat while a bad one would burn his energy pool for nothing.

 * Issue
 * Too easy to fully utilize this skill. Either the foe suffers exhaustion or sits out the duration.


 * Suggestion
 * Pretty much what the original suggester suggested except a disadvantage to help balance. Spell: Interrupt target foe if they are casting a spell. If you interrupted a spell, that foe suffers from exhaustion. If no spell was interrupted, you suffer exhaustion. Cost:5e, Cast:.75s, Recharge:15. The potential to have exhaustion imposed on yourself would also make the player use this skill much more effectively.

Shuts down casters too easily

 * Issue
 * Shuts down casters.


 * Suggestion
 * Make it only apply to the next spell, drop duration to 1...7...8 seconds.

 * Issue
 * Basically it's an elite backfire that can only be prevented with hex removal. Also it's better due it's lasting effects. However since Backfire's effects are instant, Backfire it's much more useful in the heat of battle.


 * Suggestion
 * Elite Hex Spell. For 6 seconds, the next time target foe casts a spell, the spell fails and target foe suffers Exhaustion.
 * 10 2  20
 * Good overhaul and makes a elite version of shame and guilt. 6 seconds with a good effect is worthy of a domination elite hex.
