am I alone in liking this skill?

It's not a bad skill, but there are better Mesmer elites out there. -AyaStowar

[edit] Rragar

In Rragar's Menagerie he's listed as a Boss-Like foe, which means that a Signet of Capture can not be used on him. But here it's listed that you can take his elite. I tried to finish this to get to his elite on my mesmer; but I've been having a lot of computer trouble and froze up before I could. Can anyone answer me if it's possible to get this from him or not?

You can't cap skills from boss-like foes; Rragar shouldn't be on the list. I'll remove him. -- 166.120.202.205 04:48, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bugged..

It doesn't seem to show less than the listed amount of energy that the foe loses. It also seems to be doing random damages (12, 48, 60, 96, etc at -8 energy). Anyone else seeing this? I was in the Barborous Shore and it did random damage to all the different Kournans there.

Maybe all that is happening is that it is just not showing the actual amount of energy lost, but it actually calculating based on some actual that we can't see...--Louai 11:09, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

they lose 8 energy, the amount of energy they ACTUALLY lost is multiplied by 12. so if they have 3 energy left, they take 36 dmg. simple. 76.26.189.65 05:39, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

However, not dealing the full amount of dmg with this skill implies you have fulfilled the main reason people (well, insightful people) use this skill, and that is energy denial. This is a good elite for just chunking off energy with a good amount of dmg too. FleshAndFaith 23:37, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

The -8 energy is displayed even if the enemy had less than 8. It's similar to skills that cause energy gain such as Essence Bond. You will still see the +1 energy even if your energy is already full. Same thing with health. Tedium 01:04, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Dnd damage, if you hit someone for 120 damage when they only had 30 left, it still says 120. Also, getting damage less than maximum is also your Aneurysm cue. --Ckal Ktak

Hi, I'm your average GvG monk. I know how to focus swap. I hope to see you in battle soon so I can show you how I can render you useless with ease <3 Saphatorael 01:28, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

And yet this is the most popular elite for a GvG mesmer. It must do something right then. 76.89.81.150 00:51, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, damage for spike and VoD AoE. The energy drain is just vanilla. 67.184.146.234 19:51, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Effects

Am I the only one that wishes this had a cool effect like it does in the skill image? (Cool burst of light) :]

I want the Nexus effect from StarTrek :D Noctarch 23:37, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Why?

Uhm.. I've just noticed..... Energy Surge and Energy Burn are EXACTLY the same.........

Not quite. Surge also deals the same damage to nearby foes.--Pyron Sy 22:26, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Can you say spike team?

16 Domination Magic. 4, 5, or 6 spikers. Arcane Echo + Energy Surge + Energy Surge + Energy Burn + Aneurysm (where necessary). Pain? Yes. Energy Denial? Yes. Excessive Recharge time? Yes. GG? Maybe... He Who Likes Arrows 01:13, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
