Talk:Imagined Burden

I just can't explain how many times Imagined Burden has helped me repel the melee professions. Almost 30 seconds walking slow... the whole time it gives you to deal with others while he's slithering to you. Too bad it won't save you on a shadow stepping foe.--ShadowFog 16:19, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Water Magic is better tbh. — Skuld 16:28, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Sorry then...forgot to add at the beginning "As a Mesmer". I think I must start to add that from now on. "As a (insert profession class about the related skill here to understand that I have used it and don't intend to mix it with other since I'm talking about skill class to compare it to another skill of the same class.)". Just fooling. But really. For the Mesmer, this a good skill defend him/herself from the melee.--ShadowFog 16:38, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Why did they reduce the duration!? oO 86.62.250.4 08:00, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Aww....god dangit...why?...now I have to wait 10-12 seconds to cast it again?. I must change my build now, the 10-12 secs waiting to recharge is to much of an opportunity for any melee.--ShadowFog 11:52, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Use Mantra of Persistence. I can see why the duration was toned down, mainly from hex stacking. Still annoying as hell. --8765 08:10, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

This skill was never used before and there was no reason to decrease the duration too such an unpopular skill.William Wallace 21:23, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, its strange that almost no one realize the potential, I used to stop every melee with this,it was great at RA and PvE, a dead melee for 30 seconds, nothing to look at but your keyboard and pray for a hex removal, maybe they Imagined that it was a Burden no one was using Shared Burden due to the fact that this one was so sweet, it was at 30 secs at 66% and recharge at 30 secs, now Shared Burden is almost the same skill as Imagined Burden before it's nerf.--ShadowFog 12:25, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Nobody ever used either skill because both are relatively useless. Shared Burden also slows spell casting and effects several foes, which makes it somewhat viable, but you could always use Arcane Conundrum for that. ~ Chao 00:42, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
