Talk:Cry of Pain

From Guild Wars Wiki

[edit] Awesome Combo

Ok...Ive done this math before... but there are several facts to point out with this skill

1: it does not require the investment of any attribute points

2: it can be echo chained

3: each echoed copy can be used twice before echo wears off

4: it requires any mesmer hex of any duration and attribute

Now, i will post the ideal situation for this. Note: This damage would likely be less due to the need for other professions. Anyway...now you will know why Sunspear Skills cant be used in PvP

All (8 member Party) both titles max, all E/Mes withCry of Pain, Arcane Echo, Echo, Intensity, and Arcane Mimicry, intensity used on second round on second (Mes/E could not handle energy cost), and fighting tormented creatures...

First:

8x140x4=4480

Second:

8x140x4x1.25=5600

For a Grand Total of:

10,080 armor ignoring damage to all enemies in the area

i have some more balanced / DoA group builds somewhere, but this is just the most impressive example that i can think of of this skill. i hope someone uses it

Mesmers CAN handle it. Skip the Mimicry (which is suboptimal anyway) and you'll only need 60 energy. A Focus with "Live for today" solves that quite well. Noctarch 12:25, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

anyway...i do want to bring this skill out into the light as a gread skill that is underused. Beat Gloom HM relatively quickly, though it is more suited to Veil. im kinda sick of hearing people say that the skill is useless... Killer Revan 02:44, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

well done, you're right. thats a useful skill, and i like it. too bad im a n00b interrupter... Zerpha The Improver 17:46, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

You don't need to interrupt to trigger the damage. RitualDoll 22:16, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

well, like me, I assume he means he has trouble playing the whole class. I can never time the damn interrupts correctly though I still have fun with energy surge and so on.Coruskane 16:54, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Anybody else find the progression on this skill odd? Instead of a flat +6 damage/rank, it alternates between 4 and 8. Ayumbhara 00:06, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Like Necrosis which hasn't the flat 5 but alternating 3 and 7. No one knows...Noctarch 12:16, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
