Talk:Blood is Power

So, stop changing the range values to represent something other than lvls 0-12. I put the progression table with the values up to level 18 only as a reference for people who want to know the additional benefits of Blood is Power (2 additional energy pips) when used by a Blood necro. That does not mean that you should edit the spell description to include these two additional pips - that is no longer accurate with respect to the in-game description.--Razorfish 02:01, 13 Sep 2005 (EST)

The article says "Blood is Power is also one of the fastest ways to kill yourself," and it's very, very true. Anyone else find this rather hilarious, given the wrist-slashing icon? --130.58 09:28, 19 February 2006 (CST)

Why is the line, "This is an elite skill" bulleted?
 * Counterquestion: Why are you adding "this is an elite skill" when the descriptions in game no longer say that? --68.142.14.52 16:42, 21 February 2006 (CST)

Before people assume my spam-edit is incorrect, please confirm it for yourself, I did it multiple times in the new UW last week :P --Tinarto 13:53, 11 April 2006 (CDT)


 * If it is true, does it apply to all sacrificing skills or just this one? --adeyke 13:57, 11 April 2006 (CDT)


 * I haven't tried anything else, can't help you there. Oh, and if someone could answer the related question in Talk:Restore Life, that'd be great. --Tinarto 14:03, 11 April 2006 (CDT)


 * I can confirm that all the sacrificing skills I tested do work without a sacrifice if you have 1 health maximum. --adeyke 14:16, 11 April 2006 (CDT)


 * Even if they do, why list it? What builds actually use 1HP? And an invincimonk doesn't use BiP does he?-Thomas 04:12, 2 September 2006 (CDT)


 * To add to this, you do not sac anything (with any sac skill) when at 1 HP, UNLESS the sac is over 50% (like BiPing with Awaken the Blood on you) - This will kill you. (I tested before Nightfall came out though..might have changed, doubt it though) - Former Ruling 17:53, 5 December 2006 (CST)

Hero Usage
Master of Whispers will happily use this skill for me, without prompting and with no need for any other specific skills in his skillbar.
 * Just like this unsigned poster: My Koss will Happily use BiP on my Nuker and Monk when energy gets low, and he currently doesnt have Blood Ritual either...I'm removing that Bug section I think.. - Former Ruling 17:53, 5 December 2006 (CST)
 * I just tested it with Olias and Koss outside of Kamadan with my elementalist using Glyph of Essence to drain all my energy. They wouldn't use it. I also tested it in The Sulfurous Wastes with a full hench / hero party, and Olias will only use Blood is Power on the monk while spamming the inferior Blood Ritual on everyone despite having numerous self-heals. -- Gordon Ecker 07:58, 14 December 2006 (CST)

BiP & BR
I just noticed that the BiP icon is a slit wrist and the BR one is a knife with blood on it. These two icons go hand in hand. The knife is used to cut the arm. -- Xeon 05:37, 28 December 2006 (CST)


 * Is this really appropriate to have on a site the numerous kids will visit? Sure they can find this info elsewhere, but does GuildWiki want to be known for helping kids learn how to slit their wrists? -- eTiger13 11:06, 3 February 2007 (CST)


 * World of Warcraft has worse, as do several TV-14 episodes of Buffy, Angel, Firefly and Battlestar Galactica. -- Gordon Ecker 20:43, 3 February 2007 (CST)


 * I agree with what etiger said, i removed the inappropriate section. I can not deny what anet has done with the icons, so if you find the icons bad, take it up with anet now. -- Xeon 20:54, 3 February 2007 (CST)
