Cancer[edit]
Cancer
(user skill)

Notes[edit]
- If recast before the duration is up, the duration is not reset.
Anomaly.Despite the description, the skill Chemotherapy has a tiny chance of removing this hex.
Chemotherapy[edit]
Chemotherapy
(user skill)
Enchantment Spell. Only usable while under the effects of Cancer. As long as you maintain Chemotherapy on target ally, Cancer's health degeneration is reduced by 0...4...5, and its duration expires 1.25x as slowly. Has a 1...4...5% chance to remove the Cancer hex; if it does this enchantment ends. This chance can only be tried once every 60 seconds.

Notes[edit]
Anomaly.Cancer's description states that it cannot be removed.Trivia[edit]
- When first introduced, Cancer and Chemotherapy belonged to the Necromancer and Monk classes respectively (with differently colorized skill icons). For a while, the meta saw full teams of N/Mo Cancer/Chemo casters hoping to exploit the small chance of curing one of their members while obliterating the entire team after around 50 seconds. This was eventually solved by moving both skills to the Mesmer profession, making it impossible to bring both at a reasonably high attribute on a single character (and the skill icons were recolored).
Godfather[edit]
Godfather
(user skill)
Hex Spell. Make him an offer he can't refuse. For 2...6...7 seconds, every 2 seconds target foe is presented with a trading window covering their health and energy display that lasts 1...2...2 seconds. For every recurrence, you give target foe 120...60...45 gold. If a foe dies while hexed with Godfather, he drops 40...72...80% of the gold you lost during its duration.

Notes[edit]
- This skill is only usable in PvP.
- The amount of gold returned is rounded down.
Anomaly.Though it is not stated, this hex ends instantly if you don't have enough gold to last the duration (e.g. if it lasts 3 openings at 60 gold each, if you have less than 180 gold it will end).
"Stop Asking What Happened to Rurik!"[edit]
"Stop Asking What Happened to Rurik!"
(user skill)
Shout. For 10...34...40 seconds, party members within earshot cannot skip cutscenes. If a cutscene ends while this enchantment is active, your maximum energy is increased by 5...11...12 for 20 seconds.

Notes[edit]
- This skill is PvE-only.
- Most cutscenes that do not end missions are between 20 and 60 seconds.
- It is possible to recast this enchantment while your energy is still increased, essentially giving you a free skill.
- Since the December 21st, 2012 update, this skill has been offered to all professions for free from trainers in Pre-searing, Istan, and Shing Jea.
Truly Random[edit]
Effect. Fair it up. For 300 seconds, all players' bars are random skills of their profession(s). 65% chance highest attribute, 30% chance second or third highest attribute, and 5% chance unlinked. One skill is elite. One skill is resurrection signet. Cannot receive unusable weapon attacks.
Notes[edit]
- This effect is automatically applied to all players when they join Truly Random Arena and is reapplied every ten minutes after.
- This effect has been known to greatly increase team-resigns.
Anomaly.Some players report a much lower chance of receiving a skill tied to their highest attribute.
Trivia[edit]
- The last clause, that you cannot receive unusable weapon attacks, used to apply to all customized weapons in each character's inventory and their equipped weapon, but after the December 21st, 2012 update, it was changed to only the equipped weapon upon entering the arena due to a huge number of bars filled with incompatible and inconvenient-to-switch-to attacks.
Wire Tap[edit]
Wire Tap

Notes[edit]
- According to the survey conducted in December 2012, this skill most frequently produces the phrase "OMFG UR SMITE?! GG N00B"; thus, this skill may not be as useful as originally intended.
Coffee[edit]
Coffee
(user skill)
Enchantment Spell. For 5...8...9 seconds, target ally gains +2...5...6 energy regeneration, moves 5...27...32% faster, and is not affected by skills that slow movement speed. When this enchantment ends, that ally loses all but 1...6...7 energy and moves 75% slower for 10 seconds.

Notes[edit]
- If recast before it ends, the energy will still be lost but the invulnerability to movement slowing will cancel the 75% slow. Consider enchantment lengthening or Arcane Echo.
- Be sure your team knows you are carrying this skill, as it can severely inhibit the unprepared.
Smother[edit]
Smother
(user skill)
Hex Spell. For 7 seconds, target foe is hexed with Smother. Every time a hex is cast on that foe, Smother reapplies itself over it. Any other hexes that foe suffers while smothered last only 20...52...60% as long.

Extradite
(user skill)
Skill. For 10...26...30 seconds, a random party member is teleported to an instance of Gandara Fortress, and is replaced by an allied level 20...26...28 random Kournan army member. When this skill ends that party member is returned to the party and is healed for 150 health.

Notes[edit]
- This skill is very unpopular in PvP, as a PvE monster, even of a much higher level, is generally weaker than a well-prepared human player.
- At level 28, the Kournan will have 640 health.

Notes[edit]
- You also benefit from the passive effect of said attribute - for example, if your secondary profession is Ranger, applicable skills are cheaper from Expertise. As a secondary Elementalist, Energy Storage is increased during casting; at a high enough level, you may get the skill free.
"Ambushed!"[edit]

Insurance[edit]
Insurance
(user skill)
Enchantment Spell. For 5...9...10 seconds, you lose 20...10...7 health every second. If you are the target of an enemy's Elite skill while Insured, you are healed for 120...184...200 when this skill ends.

Notes[edit]
- Due to the erratic and low heals at low attribute levels, this skill only seems worthwhile with Illusion Magic 9 or higher.
- Be careful. It may last longer at higher attribute levels, but that also means a longer delay during which you might die before you get healed.
- Can be good for preventing a known spike, especially because it causes healing, not health gain, and thus benefits from skills that increase healing.
- If recast before it finishes, you will be healed if you meet the condition.
Lurk[edit]
Lurk
(user skill)
Enchantment Spell. Your pet cannot move, but becomes invisible to enemies. When you stop maintaining this enchantment, your pet becomes visible and moves to and attacks the nearest enemy in nearby range for +10...26...30 damage.

Hex Spell. Don't believe a word. For 10...18...20 seconds, foes near your target wearing headgear have a 75% chance to miss with attacks and their headgear only provides 100...60...50% armor. You gain 2 energy for each Elementalist foe affected.

|
Notes[edit]
- Reducing the headgear's armor by 50% effectively reduces the target's armor by 1/16 (6.25%), considering that headgear receives 1/8 of hits on average.
- This skill's introduction led to the discovery of which PvE foes wear separate "pieces" of armor. In general, if a monster is humanoid, it is counted as wearing individual pieces. Others will not receive the miss chance. However, the armor reduction is still applied on hits to the head for these monsters.
Trivia[edit]
- You really want this to refer to something? Just keep on dreaming.
- Elementalists are probably affected because their headgear largely consists of "third eyes".
