Talk:Holy Wrath

The stats listed in the progression for Holy Wrath are for some reason identical to those listed for Retribution; Holy Wrath is a more powerful version however, reflecting 66% rather than 33%, and I believe with ~ 5+3*Attribute maximum damage at each level. As I can't check the progression from here I'll rely on someone else to do so, failing that I'll check once at home, but I will alter the description to match the actual skill on several pages (GWG, TGH, GWO), in addition, the link to the Holy Wrath mesmer build is non-existent, so I may post a version there after consulting a few sources.--Epinephrine 10:29, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

More Health = more damage?
In builds using Holy Wrath or Retribution, I keep seeing references like, "High maximum health is just for maxing damage from Retribution and Holy Wrath. To achive (sic) highest Damage from Holy Wrath you should have 800+ Health." . Does your health actually have anything to do with the damaged dealt? If so... can someone explain the rationale?

 * Those builds usually use Protective Spirit as a way to mitigate damage. In which case, the maximum damage you'll take is 10% of the max health, from which the 66% of Holy Wrath is taken. In effect, under Protective Spirit, Holy Wrath will never damage more than 6.6% of your max health (3.3% for Retribution). --Theeth (talk)   20:07, 16 October 2006 (CDT)

Energy loss
To Mr Anonymous: you added a note stating that if several players cast Holy Wrath on the same target, "the energy loss is divided up between then equally, rounded up". If true, this is a significant and interesting fact. However, due to the controversial nature of the statement (ie. why has no one posted it before?), I believe that a screenshot will be needed in order to prove that this is not a hoax. On a Wiki it is bad to spread false information, even accidentally. Thank you. Entropy 06:39, 30 December 2006 (CST)
 * Yea, just tested it, the two people can both maintain it one one person; however, whoever cast the most recent copy of it will be the only one to take the -10 energy--Thelordofblah 01:55, 25 January 2007 (CST)

Still Causes Damage?
Will this skill still cause the damage even if you do not have 10 energy for it to take? I'm very surprised no one has asked this yet. VegaObscura 08:02, 6 January 2007 (CST)
 * It does, nothing suggests otherwise. --Fyren 09:12, 6 January 2007 (CST)
