[edit] Domi-Talk

Backfire/Empathy/Visions of Regret: Notice that it says 'adjacent to target' and not 'target and adjacent foes' (there is a range smaller then adjacent; technically it -should- be called Touch-range, but Anet never officially recongnized Touch-skills until after the 'Concise-update'). Slightly buffed Backfire to hopefully avoid PvP/PvE-skill split. Vision of Regret is either tad strong for PvP or tad weak for PvE; either split or form a compromise. AoE needed for PvE

Power Flux:Inferior to Power Leech in almost every way

[edit] Lancy1214

Most of the enchantment-removal skills are being configured to also remove Weapon Spells. As such, the names should change to reflect this. Inserting the word "essence" instead of "enchantment" should suffice. For example, "Drain Enchantment=Drain Essence, Shatter Enchantment=Shatter Essence...etc".

Mantra of Recovery: Ok...but when combined with Mantra of Inscriptions would that be too deadly/imbalanced?

--Falconeye they are both stance, so no it wont ^_^ thats a with beauty of self-regualating rules.

I knew that, I was just testing you:P--Lancy1214 23:55, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Expel Hexes: Even though it's only mesmer hexes, this is still WAY too powerful and puts a MUT right to hexers. The way it was before was better if u ask me.

[edit] Falconeye

Any mesmer non-elite anti-Weapon Spells should have greater difficulty removing WS, particulaty if target is earshot of a spirit (the idea being that while caster uses mana to enchant, the ritualist uses an ally's -SOUL- to power/bind the WS to the ancestral weapon).

• Ignorance - Now affects target foe and all foes near that target.

Ignorance: If it's going to be nearby foes, maybe a duration shortening would suffice?

• Arcane Mimicry - 15 2 20

Arcane Mimicry: Sure?

• Inspired Hex / Revealed Hex - Now removes the bottom hex from target ally instead of the top hex.

Inspired Hex/Revealed Hex: Sounds good but are the programmers talented enough to do that?

• Hex Eater Vortex- 10e / 1c / 12r -Domination Magic -Elite Spell. Remove a Hex from target ally. If a Hex is removed in this way, foes near that ally take 30...102…120 damage and lose one Enchantment.

Hex Eater Vortex: I think 5 energy is a bit much for a skill that does this much! This used to be overused in GvG's...it was nerfed for a reason!

• Power Flux - 15 3 15 - (Domination Magic) - Elite Hex Spell. (6 seconds.) The next time target foe performs a skill, that skill fails, is disabled for 5...25...30 seconds.

Personally its annoying when skills cause x-damage but neglect to mention what type so players must assume its armor ignoring (the 3 armor-ignoring types are Shadow[dark], Holy[light], Chaos); we all know that Necro curses/Rits spirits deal Shadow, and Der/Monk deal Holy. While Shadow/Holy could've gone different/more interesting routes (i.e. Shadow can -only- be negated by Shadow -- M:tG), Chaos by its very nature is impossible to counter since its damage-type is constant state of flux, perfect for mesmer's blue-magic style of play.
