Talk:Wastrel's Worry

From Guild Wars Wiki

[edit] Prematurely

By ending prematurely, does it not do the damage? That's my guess given the skill's stats, but the wording of the skill isn't particularly clear. -- Hercanic 17:44, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Tested. If the hex ends prematurely, target foe doesn't take damage. Panah Api 11:19, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

D'oh. If it would then why would they make that condition anyway? Dark Morphon(contribs) 13:27, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

That's strange, I've used this loads of times and when an enemy uses a skill it activates the damage...--Sum Mesmer Guy 20:06, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

note: if any more skills come out that include the word "Wastrel's" chances are it will suck severely and be underpowered like the rest...

this skill is in no way underpowered, the dmg is so spammable.The 3 "wastrels' skills in my opinion have a nice effect its just hard to ensure that u get the damage or knockdown

[edit] use on Prophecies bosses

isn't it actually MORE useful on non-prophecies bosses, as afaik these are the only bosses that don't do double damage, have lesser hex/condition duration and that stuff? —ZerphaThe Improver 23:19, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Prophecies bosses have half hex/condition, but no double damage. Factions+NF get half skill activation and double damage, but hex/condition length remains the same. Lord of all tyria 23:22, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Just love it :D

omg omg omg omg omg omg 80 dmg O_O" ,I play mainly Dom Mes in PvP and this is one of my fav spells, and now its even better =D Aljazya 22:45, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Yikes this thing hurts with shatter delusion --Lou-Saydus 23:49, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Lols, it wont trigger that way sweety, it needs to pass its 3 second duration for the dmg to trigger :P Aljazya 00:40, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Well still has synergy with it because this sill's recharge time is insanely short. Dark Morphon(contribs) 14:15, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Its not synergy if one removes all use of the other...I wouldnt use Barrage with Read the Wind for that very same reason and they sure dont synergize--Justice 16:51, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Try for synergy with something that would penalyze the foe for using a skill, like backfire, spiteful spirit, or diversion. Barkingllama 05:37, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Backfire on a caster with it is ftw, they take damage no matter what they do! Justing6 03:13, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Not if they uses stances. Or signets. Dark Morphon(contribs) 08:09, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

This spell is cool because it forces the enemy monk to stop @#$$% running and stop to cast a spell so your buddy's hammer can kiss his head or you can predict interrupt (probably after you or another mesmer used frustration, migraine, etc). - Elder Angelus 20:00, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

It's even better now with 100 damage, in PVE thats 100 damage every 1.5 seconds on a boss.(Marsc 12:57, 13 June 2008 (UTC))

It was nice... It's really cool now !

Hah wow i cant believe i never came back to clear this up. Must have been tired. When I wrote that I was thinking of using this with Phantom Pain, wait the three seconds and shatter phantom pain as soon as WW goes off. --Lou-Saydus 18:33, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Thought about a possible viable build with this involving Arcane Conundrum + Wastrel's Worry and Overload. Now that makes this even more viable. All you have to do is slam'em if they cast (which in the case of some spells, they wouldn't even be able to finish the spell before Wastrel's Worry ends). --Eyekwah 13:10, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

this is effective for a mesmer in pvp. when you shatter the rc during a hammer spike you can do this first and fuck him even more.69.114.74.34 23:51, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

ofc, mesmer bars are a bit packed lately.69.114.74.34 23:52, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

This + VoR = instant win.
