New Weapon Mods, Profane ___

As I've noticed that hexes as a strategy are in general getting buffed, I've been curious why this one hasn't been tossed into the mix. We have weapon upgrades that boost enchantment duration, why not hex duration?

You never know, we might be seeing such a mod available with the release of Sorrow's Furnace.

Of course, it could be considered 'unbalanced', couldn't it? The max (yes, max, not godly...>.<) being 20% like enchantments...Mesmers would have a ball with that mod. Especially my build

Mantra of Persistance + hex mod + One damn long duration for conjure phantasm, crippling anguish and phantom pain. Cast them, run off, come back a minute later, pick up the loot.

True, but you can pretty much do that with traps already anyhow.

Plus my mesmer just can't run fast enough to get away from most mobs (I think she's a pack a day smoker when I'm afk).

hehe

Maybe Illusion of Haste and Vile Touch (? the one that transfers neg conditions to enemies)?

Of course, be buggered if there's a monk or two but then NPC healers are about as likely to heal you after the loss of 1 life, as they are when you're about to die.

You can do that with traps? How? That combination of skills would give target foe health degen of -11 for about 25-30 seconds.

Oh, I was more just talking about using energizing wind/quickening zephyr/serpent's quickness to drop down 20 some traps and then pull enemies over them. I.E. how 4-5 trappers can easily defeat the vast majority of the UW. Plus after they go over all those traps they're crippled so you can just run back a few feet and set up a few more traps.

ohh

I never really payed attention to the traps available for my ranger

Seen a trap team work in UW..Never seen Aatxes die so quick. Though, i've never seen a group of rangers die so quick when they missed one
