 * Why is this elite? at 12 Command it gives 41% damage reduction for 4 seconds. At 12 Tactics "Watch Yourself!" gives you ~29.3% damage reduction for 10 seconds. -- Gordon Ecker 18:26, 29 July 2006 (CDT)
 * While I agree this skill may be underwhelming, damage reduction is quite a different matter from extra armor. Especially as many spikes use damage types that bypass armor entirely. -- [[Image:Bishop_icon2.png]] Bishop [ rap|con ] 18:41, 29 July 2006 (CDT)
 * If you will recall, however, life stealing skills don't trigger "damage" so it is highly unlikely that they are affected by this skill. - 68.97.135.143 18:55, 31 July 2006 (CDT)


 * But it would technically work against Lightning Orb and Obsidian Flame (latter of which Watch Yourself doesn't help). --Vortexsam 19:00, 31 July 2006 (CDT)
 * The thing is it will only work 20% of the time since it is 4 seconds and there is a 20 second recharge. The skill was a nice idea, but if it was 6-8 seconds it would make it more useful since it could be upkept 30-40% of the time.--Life Infusion 20:42, 31 July 2006 (CDT)


 * But the discussion is about anti-spike (presumably non-adrenal). You will always easily be able to see such a spike coming.  You don't want a long duration, you want a short recharge.  A 2s duration with 10s recharge would be an immensely better skill (though horribly unbalanced).  --68.142.14.106 09:29, 1 August 2006 (CDT)
 * beta skill, give the dev teams time to finish, ok? --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 10:35, 1 August 2006 (CDT)

 * A shouted incoming is a commonly used warning in modern day military (english speaking, that is) for imminent air strikes, artillery shelling and the like. In many war movies thi is the last thing you hear before a big BOOM! ;) --84-175 (talk) 14:00, 28 July 2006 (CDT)


 * At the sound of mortar fire, the recruit soldier yells "Incoming!" and drops flat on his stomach. The veteran soldier drops first. -- [[Image:Bishop_icon2.png]] Bishop [ rap|con ] 18:44, 29 July 2006 (CDT)


 * Which suggests that this skill is designed as anti-spike. Great thing imho and works against touchers too. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 18:45, 29 July 2006 (CDT)
 * It could also be referencing to Worms, when using Napalm. :D &mdash; Galil  19:03, 31 July 2006 (CDT)
