Talk:Anguished Was Lingwah

Is there any use for this? Can't say you'd ever find this on my skill bar! &mdash; Skuld  09:30, 10 June 2006 (CDT)


 * It looks like just casting Pain would be easier. The only difference for both skills at level 12 is Anguished gives you a level 8 spirit instead of Pain's level 7. One thing, however, would be you could cast this ahead of time, and drop the ashes when battle started. It's a Pain bomb :D --Gares Redstorm 09:42, 10 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Casting ahead of time, like waiting for a 4v4 arena match to start is the perfect time to get this ready then you can turn out two spirits (pain&w/e you want) in shorter amount of time.-Onlyashadow 08:35, 17 August 2006 (CDT)

After the latest update (14th Sept.) the damage done by Pain has increased, but according to the skill description of ...Lingwah and the update notes this one hasn't. Hopefully they'll fix this bug soon, as it's an odd discrepancy to have. RossMM 05:42, 15 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Sorry for the double post, but I've tested it and the pain spirit created by ...Lingwah also has increased damage RossMM 05:46, 15 September 2006 (CDT)

Temporary Update
They say its Energy cost was decreased to 15, yet this has always costed 10? A mistake? &mdash;  22:47, 19 January 2007 (CST)

Yes, they have multiple typos, like Shadow of Haste is shown right after Nine-tail Strike, and they forget bullets in some places. Are you sure this is a temperary update? <>Spark 10:09, 20 January 2007 (CST)

Can it be a quote from Kung Pow? The girl in the picture resable Ling a lot :) --Yukoishii 10:06, 28 January 2007 (CST)

Lingwah v Pain
Let's look at the first five seconds of a battle with two ritualists: One using Pain and one using Lingwah. They're walking along when they're ambushed. The first Rt starts summoning pain which will take 3 seconds. The second one drops the ashes and starts summoning Bloodsong which will also take three seconds. Then they both cast Painful Bond when they're done summoning. Look at the damage/second that they're both doing (16 communing, 6 channeling):

In five seconds, using Lingwah does 2.3 times more damage and will do 1.5 times more damage each second after that.

Guess which one I have in all my builds. Dlc3007 07:51, 17 April 2007 (CDT)
 * I'd like to know why you're ambushed to the point that you'd need this particular item spell. --Kale Ironfist 07:54, 17 April 2007 (CDT)
 * That was just an example. The point was that you can do more damage in less time by simply casting this spell when entering an area and carrying the ashes with you.  Or not.  I'm not bothered if no one else uses the spell. Dlc3007 08:05, 17 April 2007 (CDT)
 * You're also comparing the damage dealt by two skills (pain and painful bond) to the damage dealt by three skills (Lingwah, bloodsong, painful bond). --Fyren 10:24, 17 April 2007 (CDT)
