Notes
- Empathy is one of the Mesmer's most valuable skills. Enemy Warriors attacking allies will quickly find themselves causing more damage to themselves than to their target. Human enemies will usually cease attacking, while PvE Mobs will happily cause massive damage to themselves. Skills like Triple Chop and Cyclone Axe can cause massive damage, while skills like Hundred Blades may, with high enough Domination Magic, kill a warrior.
- Because Empathy triggers on each attack, and not on each successful hit, it can be used with Spirit of Failure to doubly punish would-be attackers. This will either net you a lot of damage and energy, or an opponent who is unwilling to fight. Both scenarios are great for your party.
- Scythe wielders will only trigger Empathy once per attack even if they would strike more than one foe.
