Changes: Affliction Hex

Revision as of 08:41, 15 November 2010

See Also Entropy Spells, Spells, Mage, Ability Mechanics.

Area of effect: 10 m sphere. Resistance Penalties: (100.0 + Spellpower) * 0.2. Duration: 20.0s.
Range: 25 m.
Conjuration time: 1 s.
30 Threat is drawn from the target the spell is cast on. No threat is drawn from other (possibly affected) enemies.

Activation base is in Mana and values vary with fatigue%.
Arcane Warrior Spellcasting: The spell requires being cast with your weapon(s) sheathed.
Stacks with Vulnerability Hex.
Stacks with itself, if cast on different targets.
Targets can be debuffed to negative resistance values (the hard cap is -100%). E.g., at -50% resistance the damage will be 1.5x; at -100% the damage will be 2x, this means that to achieve a full resistance debuff, using just this spell, requires 400 spellpower minimum, something that is likely unachievable even in Awakening, making Vulnerability Hex (which merely requires 234 minimum spellpower) a better option for quickly reaching the hard cap.
Cast on the enemy you plan to concentrate on last. The debuff goes away when its primary target dies.
Currently active Damage over Time effects from spells like Walking Bomb or Crushing Prison are not affected, the Hex should be cast before.
