Hi,

I've had a look but all I could find was Shrinking armor. Are there any other skills for a mesmer that reduce the armor of a foe?

I am running a build that has a lot of physical damage. one of my necro heros has barbs, but are there any other skills, preferable for Mesmer (so i can throw it on my bar) that will be of detrement to a foe suffering physical attacks (slashing damage to be more specific)?

Thanks for any help in advance

Shrinking Armor is the only mesmer skill that causes Cracked Armor. If you don't like it, that's what secondaries and PvE skills are for!

I think there is that one assassin hex that takes 20AL off someone if there are no other hexes on it. I think that can take armor to below 60. I'm not sure how it stacks with cracked armor though, it it is applied first or second. If it is second it can take 40 al off then. Ohya, and there is asura scan or something, t doesn't lower armor, but it dose increase damage from attacks.

Indeed there is, [[Shadowy Burden].

Two problems though:
1) he's trying to synergize it with Barbs, another hex
2) the hex only affects your own attacks, which as a mesmer are lulzy
