Vulnerability Hex is a mage spell from the Entropy tree in Dragon Age: Origins.

Information Edit

• Resistance Penalties (Duration: 20s):
  • Elemental: (100.0 + Spellpower) * 0.3.
  • Mental: 20.
• Spell Combinations: Improved Drain.
• Range: 25m.
• Conjuration time: 1s.
• 10 Threat is drawn from the target.

Notes Edit

• Activation base is in Mana and values vary with fatigue%.
• Elemental resistances are capped at 75% in Origins and 85% in Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening.
• Targets can be debuffed to negative resistance values with a hard cap of -100%. E.g. at -50% resistance the damage will be 1.5x; at -100% the damage will be 2x, this means that with a spellpower of 234 or higher the full hard cap is achieved using just this power, eliminating the need to use Affliction Hex in a boss scenario. (easily possible in Awakening).
• Stacks with Affliction Hex.
• Currently active spells which cause damage over a period of time such as Walking Bomb or Crushing Prison are not enhanced. The Hex needs to be cast before.
• Arcane Warrior Spellcasting: This spell requires casting with weapons sheathed.
