Talk:Reversal of Fortune

Does anybody have scientific analysis of the recent change to this skill. I used to use ProtSpirit, get backfired, then use Reversal of Fortune to heal myself, as Reversal undid the maximum damage (about 65) and prot spirit limited backfire damage to about 45. However in the dying moments of 2005 it seemed to become that Reversal no longer triggers backfire, and backfire no longer triggers reversal of fortune.

If RoF is left on a target without them taking damage, will it stay on them indefinately, or is there a time limit on how long it will stay before wearing off? In the skill description, there is not mention of this, just "the next time target ally would take damage."


 * It lasts 8 seconds. I'll update the description, since it apparently hasn't been. - Greven 17:13, 23 June 2006 (CDT)

Trivia
The name of this skill is a reference to a 1985 book by Alan Dershowitz see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reversal_of_Fortune
 * The phrase "reversal of fortune" is much older than a book from 1985. --68.142.14.86 16:22, 9 July 2006 (CDT)

how is Reversal relates to Vengeful Weapon? one is life stealing, the other is negation with healing. is dolyak signet is related to sheilding hands because they both reduce damage? --Honorable Sarah 09:48, 14 August 2006 (CDT)


 * That they're both spammable 1/4 second cast spells that operate on the condition "next time ally tages damage" over 8 seconds?--Kiiron 02:49, 21 August 2006 (CDT)


 * That was the intention when I linked them. Also, they're both in a sense.. negating damage--in whatever way you look at it. Someone that likes RoF may also like Vengeful Weapon. :) -- Feather 16:05, 21 August 2006 (CDT)
