Affliction Hex is a mage spell from the Entropy tree in Dragon Age: Origins.
Information
- Area of effect: 10m sphere. Resistance Penalties: (100.0 + Spellpower) * 0.2. Duration: 20s.
- Range: 25m.
- Conjuration time: 1s.
- 30 Threat is drawn from the target the spell is cast on. No threat is drawn from other (possibly affected) enemies.
Notes
- Activation base is in Mana and values vary with fatigue%.
- Arcane Warrior Spellcasting: The spell requires being cast with your weapon(s) drawn.
- 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.
