ArenaNet talk:Skill feedback/Paragon/Cautery Signet

Martyr is worse than this skill, because here you convert all conditions into 1 (= burning). Martyr can overload you with conditions and removing these is way harder. Combine "Cautery Signet" with "Remedy Signet" and it is just fine, but I have to admit that 1 second cast time would be better for an elite... Btw Martyr really needs a buff compared to this overall. ^^ A. von Rin 15:55, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Bleh, martyr is still better. More conditions just means, you can land 250 point heals with Mend Ailment on Martyr character. Even if you count this as disadvantage, Martyr's 1 sec cast and 10 sec recharge instead of 2 sec cast and 15 sec recharge more than makes up for it. Both martyr and Cautery signet just pale compared to Song of Purification or Foul Feast. In any case, it is not a very attractive elite. --Spura 16:49, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Martyr is also a spell that any decent Mesmer or Ranger will interrupt. Cautery, being a signet, only needs to worry about Rangers.  I would also say turning all conditions into Burning and simply removing it with Remedy Signet is much better than transferring them all with Martyr and hoping you don't get Daze too when you try to remove them all with Mend Ailment.  76.89.81.150 18:03, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Martyr also sucks? like, a lot? this is kinda better, cause you get to do 90 secs of burn in one dungeon. PvE skill, rly. -- NUKLEAR  [[Image:User NuclearVII signature 3.jpg|19x19px]] IIV  21:35, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 80 sec tbh...and since "You move like a dwarf" + Awe can keep that boss permanently dazed, it was completely unneeded. Anyway, the problem with this skill is that 2 sec cast time sucks. a) any condition pressure team is bound to have Distracting Shot on apply poison ranger and 2 sec cast is just asking for it, b) Paragon needs to attack to do damage and gain adrenaline, casters with Martyr don't. What I'm getting at is, that 2 sec cast(+0.75 aftercast) on an adrenaline/attacker profession is much bigger downside than 2 sec cast on an ele or necro or whatever caster. And martyr is 1 sec cast. That's the reason all paragon 2 sec cast skills are unused(Cautery signet, song of purification, song of disruption).--Spura 15:33, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Song of purification is used cause song of purification is awesome. -- NUKLEAR  [[Image:User NuclearVII signature 3.jpg|19x19px]] IIV  17:23, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Still, this could use a 1 cast time. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:82.26.74.69 (talk).

Astohan's issue
Why make its' recharge scale down with party members within range? Is it overpowered in 4v4 and splits? -- Gordon Ecker 00:30, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
