Talk:Empathic Removal

I assume this does work if the ally doesn't have any conditions or hexes. --86.144.161.160 14:21, 29 May 2006 (CDT)

Another elite doomed to the bottom of the list — Skuld 08:30, 8 June 2006 (CDT)

I like the idea. It has the right price and recharge. Of course, if the other ally needs to have something to remove, that invalidates it entirely. -- Dashface 07:28, 25 June 2006 (CDT)

No, it'll work even if the other ally isn't hexed or suffering from a condition --Kiiron 02:18, 6 July 2006 (CDT)

It did not work that way for me —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 125.253.35.52 (talk • contribs) 00:32, 13 July 2006 (CDT).

Works that way for me now (and did when I first tested soon after release). --68.142.14.33 04:25, 13 July 2006 (CDT)

I wouldn't say that. This skill is godly for sword warriors, easily allowing them to keep both themselves and another character clean for one (albeit elite) skill slot. This is especially good in like 6-2 split situations where the 2 are splitting off without a monk. --Theonemephisto 18:07, 27 August 2006 (CDT)

Which is exactly the way my guild uses it-Thomas 15:38, 31 August 2006 (CDT)

Removing Note

'This skill cannot be used if there is no ally within the range of the caster since it targets "other ally."' Pretty obvious note, can you use any "target ally" spells if you have no ally in range?--Teh Uber Pwnzer 16:57, 25 June 2007 (CDT)

Yeah, you can use a "target ally" spell on yourself; it is only a "target other ally" spell that you need to have an ally in range for. Thou in PvE I suppose you could cast it on a friendly animal, like a Warthog. >.> (T/C) 17:07, 25 June 2007 (CDT)

Don't think you can, it'll say invalid target iirc — Skuld 07:57, 28 July 2007 (CDT)

superior to signet of removial?

because of the divine favor healing, i prefer this rather than signet of removial...aditionally, you can use 10%hct/hsr mods, that won't work with signets. well, the only case in which the signet is superior is if you're dazed...but thats only in special circumstances...finally, the signet needs an enchantment on the target to work. -- Zerpha The Improver 07:43, 28 July 2007 (CDT)

the small divine favor and hct/hsr practically are very little factors. The fact that signet of removal can be used with dazed is a much more important factor. While it seems Empathic Removal can remove more conditions/hexes over time even with 2 more recharge, it doesn't because if you are using it a lot (which you really should try because this elite sucks compared to the monk elites out there) you will be most likely free of conditions and hexes most of the time you use it. Also signet is free. But really, the days of Empathic Removal w/mo's and the like in GvG are very long gone. 67.162.10.70 07:52, 28 July 2007 (CDT)
