Guild Wars 2

Increase the upkeep cost of embrace the darkness to 10, keep the new pulsing torment, and allow the rest of the demon stance abilities to be transformed while it’s active.

So while embrace the darkness is active:

Empowering Misery – Acquires a 5 second cooldown, no longer has a base heal, and is changed to consume a single condition to regain health before copying it to nearby enemies.

Pain Absorption – Applies blind and weakness to enemies in a 600 radius.

Banish Enchantment –Applies vulnerability and disables an ability that is being casted for 5 seconds.

Unyielding Anguish – Fears foes upon landing and revives downed allies by a small percentage with each tick.

The main goal of this suggestion is for legendary demon stance to regain the ability to apply some of the non-damaging conditions that it lost with the recent changes and make it closer resemble the Mallyx from gw1.

Awful, I don’t think you understand just how fast energy would degenerate with -10.

Plus, the ideas you suggested are all pretty poor for the vast amount of energy you would be using, you’d be able to get off one ability while embrace the darkness is up, and that’s really not worth anything that you mentioned, some could argue points for your suggested Unyielding Anguish imbuement, but that’s insanely situational..
