- Issue
- A copy of Scourge Healing.
- Suggestion
- Elite Hex Spell. For 5 seconds, every time target foe is healed, the healer is knocked down. 15 energy, 2 cast, 15/20 second recharge.
Readem's Issue
- Issue
- Overpowered. Does more damage than backfire; costs less energy; can be reapplied almost instantaneously; duration of 30 seconds.
- Suggestion
- Reduce duration to about 15. Lower Damage. Increase recharge to 10.

- You fail mathematics. Backfire is 147 damage, soul bind is less than 90.
Marcdarc's Issue -- 9:03, October 2008
- Issue
- Copy of a non-elite; boring, weak effect.
- Suggestion
-
- Soul Bind
- 15 energy, 2 cast, 20 recharge.
- Elite Hex Spell. For 5...15...17 seconds, target foe cannot gain more than 50...30...25% health from any one source.
New functionality
- Issue
- We already have a skill for this.
- Suggestion
- Make it a counter to broken builds. 10e 1s 6r "For 1...8...11 seconds, target foe attacks 25% slower. If that foe was attacking, all of that foe's weapon attributes are reduced by 4."
- Note that the attributes are reduced by 4, making this incredibly effective against builds that rely on their secondary profession. Secondary profession attributes have a maximum value of 12, this reduces them to 8, so they cannot meet their requirements with PvP equipment.
Rising_Dusk's Thoughts - 15:43, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
- Issue
- I don't understand why this spell is currently an elite version of Scourge Healing. It doesn't make sense at all and doesn't fit the role of a Necromancer. Not to mention it's barely even better than Scourge Healing and takes up the elite slot.
- I propose that this skill causes the enemy to sacrifice life whenever they cast a spell. This actually gives some meaning to that Smiting Prayers skill Scourge Sacrifice.
- This would also be a cool mechanic to offer in a hex and would fit right into a Necromancer's curses build alongside Mark of Subversion or Mesmer skills like Backfire.
- Suggestion
10 2 5 - Elite Hex Spell. (20 seconds.) Whenever target foe casts a spell, that foe sacrifices 5...13...15% life.
Failed Obama's Thoughts - 15:43, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
- Issue
- I prefer to make Soul Bind to be a COMBINED VERSION OF SCOURGE HEALING AND SCOURGE ENCHANTMENT since this elite skill doesn't work with OTHER monk hexes. I think this would be a GREAT suggestion for Soul Bind.
Suggestion
10 2 5 / 15 2 5 - Elite Hex Spell. (20 seconds.) Every time target foe is HEALED or ENCHANTED, the healer/enchanter/caster takes 20...68...80 damage or 10...48...65 damage. Ends if target is suffering from a Smiting Prayers hex.
