[edit] Notes
- Damage is armor ignoring, so this skill is great against enemies with high armor that deal high damage, like Wurms and Elementalist Bosses.
- Damage dealt to the hexed foe is calculated before damage reduction effects such as Protective Spirit.
- At rank 10, you only need the target foe to deal 57 damage to make the maximum 80.
- It triggers multiple times if the hexed foe hits multiple targets. For each creature that is hit, Pain Inverter produces a separate packet of damage. As each packet is limited separately by the maximum damage of 80, it is hugely effective against high-damage AoE spells, such as Searing Flames and Earthquake.
- It is also very effective against damage over time spells, such as Searing Heat and Fire Storm.
- Does not work against damages dealt by passive skills like Empathy and Backfire.
- Does work against damage by retaliation skills, like Whirling Defense or Retribution.
- Increasing the number of allies is also a good way to take advantage of this spell against AoE skills, like bringing minions, Asura Summons, or animal companions.
- Also very effective in 600/smite farming, and to a lesser degree; 55 farming.
- The 80 Damage cap can be increased with Intensity and "By Ural's Hammer!".
