Talk:Black Lotus Strike

net energy gain of 7....worths it?

I think so, it makes up for using skills like Mark of Instability, a personal favorite. It does tons of damage anyway, and if it helps energy, thats fine by me. I think its made to offset the energy of a hex. Also, remember thats counting 12 critical strikes, you will probably have more than that.

I suggest using it with Impale if your on your own. It will add even more damage to the following Dual Attack and get a Hex for the Black Lotus. &mdash; Poki#3 01:43, 25 July 2006 (CDT)

Revert of Trivia
I thought that Trivia about M:tG was interesting. After all, I remember hearing somewhere that many people in Anet play it.
 * It was irrelevant. It explained in-depth why some card which may or may not (and most likely, not) be related to this skill, is rare. In fact, the whole connection is beyond obscure, it's just wishful thinking from people who get their hobbies mixed up or desperately want to see a link to something that's either not there or is entirely unclear from context. If you're so keen on obscure connections though, you might be interested in going to the Skeleton-section, and mention that the red skeletons in Castlevania regenerate when they get hit, and perhaps a "Did you know?"-section, mentioning that you, too have a skeleton inside of you! Just because it's interesting doesn't mean it's relevant. Now, on a more serious note, and this is something I probably should have mentioned instead of writing the above paragraph; the lotus is a flower that's spiritually regarded as a symbol for purity (in general, but also as a purity in other beings). A "black" lotus is a metaphor for an imperfect or tainted human being, the flower itself being a metaphor for a human. So the "Black Lotus" in this skill, would then be the hexed target. Sure, it's obscure, but it beats the crap out of any explanation you'd care to give regarding playing-cards, doesn't it? The More You Know. --Black Ark 09:37, 7 August 2006 (CDT)
