[edit] Too Weak?

Recharge on Arcane Conundrum can be cut to 13 seconds with Mantra of Recovery, two seconds faster than Migraine, with the added bonuses of AoE and faster recharges on all spells. Compared to that, Migraine is lacking as an elite. One possibilitiy is partnering Migraine with something like Mantra of Persistence, significantly extending the duration of the hex, but any hex removal would mitigate that advantage without proper cover. -- Hercanic 08:33, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

In Illusion Magic, when has a cover hex ever been a problem? This is one of the more powerful PvP elites. It probably is weak in PvE outside of Hard Mode because a single enemy is hardly ever worth that amount of shut-down. Complaining about this is like complaining about Eviscerate. I mean, barely anyone uses it outside of GvG. It must be weak, right? 72.81.247.139 05:11, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Stacking

Does this skill stack with Frustration and similar? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:62.56.94.26 .

The stacking limit of increased activation speed is +100%. So, the short answer is no. - HeWhoIsPale 21:26, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

150%, so yes with frustration and to a lesser extent yes with other skills. --Lou-Saydus 18:48, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Broken Images

Anyone else notice the image for this skill has turned into a red thingy? Or is it just me ? Deathlike 20:12, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Somehow a number of skill icons have disappeared on this wiki. -- Hercanic 08:33, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Same as takes twice as long to cast spells?

Isn;t it takes one hundred percent longer to cast spells the same as taking twice as long to cast them? I mean one second spells take two seconds with migrane so that's technically taking twice as long right or am I missing something?Highway Man 07:58, 2 February 2008 (UTC) nope,thats it83.249.119.162 11:09, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

• Pretty much, the only difference comes when multiple casting speed effects come into play. If an enemy monk is using Healer's Boon to cast 50% faster and you used Migraine on them, the result would be a monk casting spells 50% slower because (-50% + 100% = +50%). If it just said double speed, you might think that the enemy monk is casting spells at 1/2 regular time, and doubled it would just put them at regular 1.0 speed, which is not the case. - Elder Angelus 15:42, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
