Skills - Echo

I would just like to point out that Ephaz does NOT offer this skill.
CKaz
which makes sense as this one is an elite skill
if you don't want to wait, check out arcane echo..

i have a question about this skill.. it says it acts as the spell... does that mean its cooldown is changed? or how does the cooldown work for the spell that it steals?

Does echo work with rez sig? or is rez sig not considered as a skill?

Echo does work with rez signet.

This skill is designed so that for the alloted time it directly MIMICS... the skill that it is echoing. Therefore any recharge times and things of this nature are considered. So a powerful combo is something like(not really powerful but decent) enervating charge or lightning strike or backfire.. or anything helpful.

Or, arcane echo the echo and have 3 of your favorite fun spell.
Efficient, not always.
Crazy to do, generally.
Funny, you bet!

I hate to break it to you but I tried this last night....it doesnt work also I tried it with signet of capture trying to get 2 skills for the price of 1...also a bust. Sorry but this info is bunk!

Aww that sucks. O well i guess double rezzing isn't possible now =/.

echo also only mimics the spell [and a spell, not a sig] for a certain amount of time as far as i know, so it would wear off.. but i guess if you had two guys down it mighta worked

Echo mimics any skill, arcane echo is the one limited to spells.
Rez Signet and Signet of Capture are just special exceptions to most other skills.

So if I used Echo with Final Thrust it would keep doing that skill until the sucker is dead?

No, you'd have a second copy of Final Thrust, which is pointless, as it still would drain all adrenaline for using it, so you could never use 2 in a row.

A better combo would be Arcane Mimicry -> Echo -> Cleave so you could spam cleave to hell. Cyclone axe, Cleave, Cleave, is good times.
Tom und Metti
Cleave its also elite btw. so impossible to act like that...

It may not be practical due to large recharge times on arcane mimicry, but it's far from impossible.

The only worthy use for echo is uning it on a non-"spell" skill (that even excludes hex spells and enchantment spells).
use it on Glyphs, Signets, Traps, Nature Rituals and all kinds Attacks, it even copies the adrenaline on attacks, THIS makes the funniest and most flexible builds.

Echo does work on Healing Signet for reference. Personally I thought it had worked on Rez Signet for me before but I could be wrong (plus it's only 20 seconds duration so it would be very situational).
I tend to use it in pve on Cyclone Axe mainly, or sprint for those times when one burst of speed just isn't enough.
In pvp it's very useful in conjunction with Blackout, Shatter Hex, Diversion, etc, (although Arcane Mimicry would be almost as good for these and free up the elite slot - but since I play a W/Me I prefer Echo over Arcane Echo as it's cheaper, fixed duration & more flexible for copying warrior skills too - nothing like penetrating blow doubled up for 20 seconds to really drive the point home).

I've been all over Perdition Rock and can't find this Rwek Khawl Mawl. I've seriously cleared every single area multiple times, have the whole thing visible on my map and have captured almost every other elite offered there. Did Anet change the location of this one?

Just killed Rwek Khawl Mawl he did not have it :-/ did it move?

Where did you find him, and what did he have?
QuixotesGhost
I've echoed Res Signet many a time in PvP, it is possible. My W/Me also likes echoing "To the Limit!" in PvE. Instant adrenaline spike, allows you to go through that sever artery+gash+galrath+Final thrust chain almost immediatly or quickly throw up bonetti's if need be.

is echo worth getting ?

if you like to do things like:
echo + arcane echo + <long cool down, heavy nuke spell>
i'd say yes...
tossing Arcane Mimicry in somewhere in that chain might produce some odd results as well (can you arcane mimicry Oath Shot anyone?) or maybe use it with arcane thievery (will this really take out 3/8th of an enemy's monk's skillbar? or is there still a chance for the other copies of arcane thievery to steal an already disabled skill?)

You can Mimic Oath Shot. But someone tried this about a week ago, and they had set up Oath Shot so that it won't recharge any Oath Shot on your bar. Still mildly useful, since you could, with the help of Quickening Zephyr, unload Oath Shots every 5 seconds for a little while (privided you didn't miss). I think I'd prefer mimicing an Oath Shot while I had something like Incendiary on my skill bar, though.
As far as disabling someone with Arcane Echo, Echo, and Arcane Theivery, I've heard conflicting information. One person said it seemed to take the last skill the target had used (meaning you could easily take the most vital skills), while another has said it always duplicated the same skill (thus disabling one skill for them, but giving you 3 copies of it). I've never checked.

Where do you get this skill?

Ok, never mind, it's already posted.

I used to use Echo, Arcane Echo, and a nuke spell together. 3x the nukes, 3x the fun.

Hey there! where abouts is Perdition? Which part of the map is it on?
Any help you can offer on the matter would be great! thanx for your help!

GOD use it with storms! 2 fire storms hurt or use it with dis ranger with savage shot or something

i would like to say that using echo with backfire is hella fun when u use it on the enemy monk in say GvG,ab, or hoh. keep hittin him with backfire, and he keeps using spells, he ends up killing himself before he realizes it. =) funny to watch i might add
Poison Ivy
Nice revival.
Echo Mending with it
BTW, Backfire is too easily removed, it's the last thing I would suggest you to Echo in PvP.

Were you a mesmer primary or secondary at the time you killed him?

According to guildwiki (not personal experience), if the boss echo'ed something before it died, you have to wait 30 seconds (or however much time would be left) for the skill to change back.

Echo i can be the personal expirience on this one, as my W/Me had to wait the 30 seconds

That's a very weird trait for Echo to have, because when a player dies, Echo returns immediately and beings recharging. It should be classed as a bug rather than an ongoing effect.
