Talk:Distortion

From GuildWiki

According to this entry, Firstwatch Sergio has this skill available. I've checked him out with my Canthan mesmer and he doesn't have it. Does he only sell this skill to Prophecies characters?

It's an error. Removed the entry. --68.142.14.78 02:00, 11 July 2006 (CDT)

[edit] Nerfed For Rangers

Between the new linked duration and the fact that Non-Ranger stances no longer work with Expertise, this is no longer the cornerstone it was for Cripshot and other R/Me builds... Arshay Duskbrow 01:18, 26 October 2006 (CDT)

dang, that was a rather painful nerf.
The duration is not great for mesmers, except for pure illusion. Anooneemiss 01:45, 26 October 2006 (CDT)

I've been trying to go back in the history to see what this skill did before the latest update, and it seems to have been updated in all the histories back for quite a way (a month or so before the update?). How does that work?

You're looking for the history of Template:Distortion. The skill's stats are stored there.--Ender A 03:09, 27 October 2006 (CDT)

It used to be that it always lasted 5 secs, and the energy loss scaled. I think it was 4 energy at 0, 2 at 12, and 1 at 13 i think. It was seriously nerfed. It had the same cost and recharge then. --Image:GWSig.jpg 15:00, 26 October 2006 (CDT)

Imho, this was a good change as Distortion was overpowered for a defensive skill.--Ender A 03:06, 27 October 2006 (CDT)

Cheers, now I know where to look :)

I'm sure Dunham is unhappy about this tune as well.

I think Dunham will be even more unhappy about the fact that with the advent of Heroes, no one will EVER USE HIM EVER AGAIN. EVER. :) Arshay Duskbrow 03:17, 4 November 2006 (CST)

That's not very nice, I still use Dunham. He's one of my favorite Henchmen. Entropy 21:29, 1 February 2007 (CST)

dude Dunham is the man --Echo Ftw (talk|contribs) 16:43, 6 August 2007 (CDT)

dunham is nice for empathy and his other couple skills when going to cap a boss. other then that i dont use him all that much. I got mad when they nerfed this skill cause they nerfed it for mesmers who had high rank illusion magic as well. shoulda had it a 1-2e loss per block with only -1e starting at rank 13 or i suppose even less since points into here takes them from some where else balancing it out.JRyan

[edit] New Animation?

Hey has anyone noticed as well as the normal floating rings up and down there are now sparkles in front as well? --Peace Out 07:40, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
