Talk:Otyugh's Cry

Just affects pets?
The skill description makes it sound as if this skill aslo applies to random animals wandering the environment, moa birds, wolves, whatever. Is this true or does it just apply to pets? My ranger isn't far enough along to know. Not that affecting lvl 5 environmental animals is going to be all that useful, but it would be interesting flavor. --Squeg 02:42, 15 Oct 2005 (EST)


 * All animals in the area that aren't pets, yeh Moas Lynxes etc Skuld &Dagger; 03:29, 15 Oct 2005 (EST)

name
Anyone know why it's called "Otyugh's Cry"? There's a D&D monster of the same name, but the wikipedia article doesn't even have any source for it beyond that. They're just.. plant monsters, nothing about them suggests much in the way of armor or mind control.. --Nunix 18:41, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
 * The Otyughs of Final Fantasy are plants. The D&D versions aren't plants, and have thick hides. They're also aggresive and highly territorial, which I guess explains the (currently bugged) part about making all animals attack your target. -- Gordon Ecker 05:28, 9 October 2006 (CDT)

---a bug??---
I was trying to use this skill today since I was going to an area with a lot of potential pets (lynx mostly) and when I tried to use it (beast mastery 8) the lynx became hostile TO ME not the things I was attacking, I tried this several times and yes, they were not attacking the enemy, but me and my party......is this a bug???-cosyfiep

Oh, no.
ANet forgot to update the description to say within earshot! --68.142.14.33 03:01, 14 July 2006 (CDT)

about the bug
It was probably due to you targetting yourself, is my guess. you should have selected the foe you want targetted, even considering hte fact that its' a shout (which don't normally have targets). If you're one of those people who press "F" (default for target self), it may be why. --204.112.128.189 01:09, 25 July 2006 (CDT)

Is that pwnage or what? The worst skill ever, bugged. --69.107.125.202 19:25, 8 August 2006 (CDT)


 * Not sure that's a bug - but it's not that bad a skill. All the animals get the armor boost, including your pet. And in the southern shivers, where there're bears everywhere, it's pretty cool. It's fun to watch your formerly feisty foe start getting smacked around by a local bruin. --Jawn Sno 11:13, 24 October 2006 (CDT)
 * You can't target yourself and use it and the enemy has to be within aggro cicle range. Level 5 bears don't do anything, +20 armor or not.  Pet AI is not good and they die regardless of +20 AL since they won't walk out of AoE or DOT effects.  Worst skill.  I just put up a petition to try and get it improved on a fan site.  In the old days the wandering animals were equal level to the enemies in the areas and more common but that's changed a lot since then thus making this skill, well, it makes me do this :x if I think about it too much.--[[Image:VallenIconwhitesmall.JPG]]  Vallen Frostweaver  14:49, 22 November 2006 (CST)
