+20% longer hexes ?

I should have checked this long ago, but never bothered to.

Does the +20% longer enchantments mod really only infulence enchantments ?
Or does it influence hexes as well ?

If it doesn't I want a +20% longer hexes mod !

of course it doesnt. 20% longer hexes would be imba.

It does bring to attention that there aren't 20% hex wrappings/hafts/etc...
Would be a nice addition for all the hex lovers out there

damn you beat me to it.

Mesmers have mantra of persistence though, so that's something.

Yes but that only covers 1 specific magic so all the others are left in the cold.
It WOULD be a nice addition although not likely to happen

Would be a little overpowered

imba?

@ Brute:

If 20% longer hexes over overpowered, dosnt that mean that 20% longer enchants are over powered? Dosnt that, fllowing the same line of logic, mean that every upgrade for anything is overpowered?

@Sereng Amaranth:
Maybe he means the International Mountain Bicycling Association? Either that, or someone couldn't be bothered to type out imbalanced. See:http://www.guildwarsguru.com/content...0.php#Language
I don't think we need a 20% longer hex mod; don't be silly. If Anet made a 20% longer hex duration, then every class should also be able to craft Lieutenant Helms. Hex durations are balanced, already, and should only be increased by using a skill slot, not equipment.

theres mantras for mesmer that makes some hexes last longer

and how is having 20% enchantmetns balanced?

I mean there are spells in the monk line that can make enchatments last even longer. I can get over 50% longer enchantments but that's not broken at all...*cough* 55 *cough*.

the thing is, most ench are passive... if your enemy choose not to attack you, the full power of ench usually are not to its maximum efficiency

for eg, when's the last time you see a frenzy warrior keep on hitting a monk encht with Shield of Judgement?!

on the other hand, hexes are active... which means you are screwed even if you choose to not attack the designated character, things like conjure phantasm makes you degen if you do nothing, and things like SS which makes you take damage every time you take action

yeah most enchants are passive or defensive/healing, most (all?) hexes are offensive........imagine 20% longer Life Transfer + 20% longer Life Siphon + cover hex = pwnt (and imbalanced)

Im sure they have tested it with 20% longer hexes, and ahve found it overpowered, or they would have implemented it.

At most it would be 10% longer, as 20% is way too long. 45 second Faintheardedness...anyways...passive and active thing.

It would be nice, but as others have already said it would be imbalanced.

Couldnt have said it better myself
20% Longer Life Transfer

I wouldnt like to just stand there and take it

so implement more options:

anti hexes; i.e. if hex is cased on target then caster takes x dmg and hex fails, spell lasts for x seconds(isn't there something like this?)

or

target hex that does dot is reversed instead for 2x the duration


more hex removal

hex transfers ala plague touch


there are options...

Id love this mod to happen but yeah it would be over powered..

how about

10% longer hexes (10% chance)
