Does anyone actually use Curse?

Sorcs are great! We have the Fireball that burns everything!, we have the ligtning bolt with "Shocking" accuracy
,we have the powerhousing lifegiver! And then theres the... Whats it called again? Oh yeah! The completely forgotten Curse spell! I may not be one to judge but it is a waste of space to anyone who is unfortunate enough to buy it. It may debuff an enemy but if your playing as a sorcerer and you need to dispose of an enemy to help a friend it wouldnt exactly be the first spell you would sudgest.

What are your thoughts?

Did you see today's update, or is this just a coincidence? I think with the new change it remains to be seen whether or not this will be a viable skill...

While it is sitting on cooldown, a Sorcerer can unleash insane damage. The paladin mirror damage skill could be promising with a strong tank but in general a sorcerer would die taking damage.

Has anyone tried the updated curse?

I'm kind of curious how it works...I think I'll be testing it today maybe it will be worth it >_>
Update: it doesn't seem like a high % of damage being reflected back :/ got hit with a 455 and he got Hit with a 85....

Im hoping for a free respect to try out the added affect of the curse skill. Before this update, ive seen like 1/100 mages actually use this skill. But now with the reflective damage it might change things if the amount of dmg reflected is a high percentage. But im iffy at the thought of my mage taking mass amounts of dmg, seeing that we are the lowest hp class.

when reading a little and looking at the curse skill, it reminds me a little like fireball upgrades like extended area / additional damage and longer duration. maybe a good combo for this new update and fireball together.

Just imagine if a rouge is curse and they shoot at you with arrows they take the damages too :)

someone should tell STS that this skill is obsolete and do something about it ! lolz

Lol they probubly already saw the problem with this skill before and made this update, which supposedly increase its effectiveness of it.

Lol it would increase the effectiveness if it had a fixed % of how much damage it reflexs. I'd say 30% reflect would be a good fixed % o_O not to overpowered but still very effective.

i wish 30% reflect lolz ...... dang rouges

Lol that would be dirty ;)

Fireball > Everything

curse skill imo is hopeless, just got a lil improvemnt.
I dont see it benifiting for me but for a lil dmg benificial for my team in pvp.

in pve, i would rather use shield/heal -time - fire - ice than dropping one for curse.
the CC from my offensive skills i choose is way better than the debuff benifits given by curse.


i still think its way to be part as an upgrade than bein a skill.

In a way, it's a relief to know curse still isn't very useful. I didn't look forward to messing with my skills.

Samhayne said there will be a free respec event in the near future, so save your plat, if you want to try it out.

I'm kind of hoping for the cooldown of heal to be lowered by a few seconds....That why our heal can compare to rogues and warriors in a way. >_<

Maybe it shouldnt be reflect, i was thinking of more a supportive upgrade, like buff teammates or a better debuff enemies like decrease the armor more or something like that.

Yeah like a feeble effect

And a stun. More stuns would be fun.

they adjusted the damage now .. any difference? did anyone tried?

After testing curse today... I must say, it helps the team immensely... everyone in my team kills but me, even warriors! I used to be pro at kill steal, not anymore lol.
