Overpowered, -90% Target's Stances and Enchantments

Issue

This skill now just works like "disable" all target's stances & enchantments, even 20+ seconds enchantments such as Protective Spirit reduce to only 2 seconds. You could make Assassins more imbalance overpowered.

Suggestion

Change to "Remove 1 enchantment on target, and target's stances expire 75% faster", or what ever, Don't lock down both stances and enchantments

Much better idea above than the skill now. A quick recharge, low spec high effectiveness also contributes to its overpowerness.

NOTICE~Patient spirit doesn't trigger on a target with mark :S

Boro 's Suggestion

Issue

Abusable in hexway, too long duration with short recharge. Also kills prot monks, replaces skillful protting with mindless redbarring, and so on.

Suggestion

5 1 8 Elite Hex Spell. Removes one enchantment, for 10 seconds enchantments and stances on target foe expire 30...78...90%faster.

Issue

For 5..21..25 seconds, target ally gets trained to death and you can't do a fucking thing about it.

Suggestion

25en, 1/4 cast, 90 recharge. For 5 seconds, your Smiting Prayers skills have double the Divine Favor bonus.

Overpowered

Issue

This skill is grossly overpowered on the same scale as Searing Flames, Wail of doom, Visions of Regret, and Wounding strike.

Suggestion 1

Reduce duration to 1...6...7 seconds, increase energy to 10.

Suggestion 2

Add "Whenever that foe receives an enchantment or enters a stance, you lose 5...3...3 energy or this skill ends."

Issue

I like the skill and don't want to see it destroyed, so...

Suggestion

5 1 8 Elite Hex Spell. (1...12...15 seconds.) Causes 1...3...3 Health degeneration. Enchantments and stances expire 75% faster on target foe.

Or use Boro's idea or something :P

Issue

"Disables non-<Profession> skills" is the worst mechanic you have ever introduced into this game.

Solution

5 1 15 Elite Hex Spell. For 1...5..6 seconds plus 1 second for every 2 Ranks in Critical Strikes, target foe suffers from 1...2..3 health degeneration and Enchantments and Stances expire 80% faster on target foe.
