To people who have got it here are some questions.

1)Does it completely stop hp and mp regeneration or only the rate.

2)Does soul degeneration stop pots and charms from working?

Basically should I get it or not?

    Soul Degeneration? I think it only stop the mob HP and MP of regenerating. It doesn't effect your own...

    I think your 2nd question refers to pvp.

    I can't really answer your question, but I suggest you get at least lvl1. Why? Because the animation is just soooo funny! :p

    lol so true b:laugh

    I only have it lvl1 and i find it kind of useless on mobs... I'd rather use amp instead (since only one curse can be active)

    No idea on how good it would be in PvP ... im a PvE fan ^^

    You'd think it should stop all hp or mp from being able to be recovered at all.

    If you use it on a player and they have a charm, the charm does not heal them for example.

    It resets regen to 0 when it activates for the duration.
    If they use a pot, it will work as normal.
    If they use a pot and you cast this, it will be negated.
    If someone uses a HP/MP regeneration skill (BM sutra heal for example) use this and it wont be negated. Works the same with Whiskt (it doesn't negate)
    If the get hit by a +regen skill during it (Celestial Guard etc) it will work.

    In short, it negates pots that they use BEFORE you cast it :P

    charms will work as they always do.

    Think of charms as an auto-potion, at 50% it "uses a potion to go back to 100%." The skill doesn't negate potions that haven't been used yet, so charms would work fine. Also because of the fact charms are instant it's impossible to negate the charm.
    But honestly, that's a good thing. We get enough QQ's already, we don't need a skill that removes charm effects

    I've always kinda wondered about soul degen. I remember trying it with a cleric friend back in the nub days in duels. He'd heal himself then i'd hit him with soul degen, whatever he did, pots, heals charms ect didnt work so we just decided it was a worthless skill.

    I think it's completly usless in PvP even though it supposedly works. In between everything else I do, amp, purge, stunning blow, leech, iron, lucky ect ect there's no time at all to fit in. It just dosen't do enough to be noticeable /worthwhile. That said, even in PvE it's useless x_X

    But yeah the animation is kewl b:laugh
