Earlier in the arenas I had Malaise + Wither on me with 5 energy left, so I cast something to hit 0 and get rid of the hexes. But they didn't end! Anyone else have this problem?

I just fought an energy denial nec today, and weapon switching seemed to work, so maybe it only applies to casting? Yarg, sometimes I wish dueling were possible soley for testing these sorts of things.

For 5-29 seconds, target foe suffers -2 Health regeneration and -2 Energy regeneration. Wither ends if that foe's Energy reaches 0.

Malaise - Hex Spell
For 5-29 seconds, target foe suffers Energy degeneration of 2 and you suffer Health degeneration of 2. Malaise ends if target foe's Energy reaches 0.

In which case I'm going to assume it only triggers when your energy bar itself is completely gone. Even when you're at 0, there may still be some of the blue bar left. In which case, Wither and Malaise probably only end when that bar is completely empty.

I would consider reporting it as a bug.

I believe Racthoh has the right of it. It is the same kind of thing that happens with mind wrack, if you have some blue bar left, it will not trigger, even at 0 energy.

The amount of energy you have is stored as a fraction. So if you cast when you have 5.1 energy, you'll drop to 0.1 energy, which will display as 0. Of course, it's not 0, so Wither/Malaise won't end.

In which case, you would need to have say 12 energy, weapon switch to have -3 energy thus ending the hexes.
