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. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.138.247.170 (contribs) 16:04, 18 July 2005 (CDT).

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." &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.131.195.146 (contribs) 16:43, 23 June 2006 (CDT.


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


 * How long does this last with a 20% Enchanting Mod? I would assume it would round to 10 seconds. Can a spell even last a fraction of a second in game terms? Urock 00:21, 26 March 2007 (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)

What is that thing, anyway?
Y'know, I just realized I still don't know what's supposed to be happening in the skill icon picture. Anyone have any ideas? &mdash; 130.58 (talk) 23:36, 17 December 2006 (CST)
 * Clearly, fortune itself reversing. --Fyren 00:01, 18 December 2006 (CST)

I think its the end of an eclips. An eclipse is considered bad luck, an ending eclipse means an end to that bad luck. 130.89.185.134

 * I would agree with the anon, it looks like an eclipse, its certainly not an eyeball -- Xeon 10:01, 28 January 2007 (CST)

It is an eclips, I showed it at random people and they all said it looked like an eclips. -- S i  g  m  A   04:41, 29 January 2007 (CST)
