Talk:Choking Gas

What kind of condition does Choking Gas cause? 02:25, 9 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * Oh, I guess none... 02:26, 9 Aug 2005 (EST)

Practice stance -> indefinitely??
If the upper range if duration of gas is 10 sec, and Practice Stance make it last 45% longer, it goes on for about 15 seconds. Since Gas take 24 to recharge, is quickening zephyr supposed to be mentioned too? Otherwise 15 sec usage for a 25 sec cycle isn't quite what I would call "indifinetly" -PanSola 14:57, 1 November 2005 (EST)
 * My bad. Practiced Stance's description says preparations are "ready" 50% faster, which I thought meant the activation time (time to "finish preparing" and ready to be used).  The Ranger Skill Quick Reference cleared it up as faster recharge, so it all makes sense now, 15 sec usage for 14 sec cycle is much better. - PanSola 15:17, 1 November 2005 (EST)

Duration Question
If a target is hit with choking gas, is the effect duration fixed (x seconds), or does it end when the preparation duration ends? If the former, how long is x? -PanSola 00:23, 4 November 2005 (EST)


 * I believe there is no duration. The effect is instantanuous. It spreads like Chain Lightning to adjacent foes, but it only interrupts once. --Karlos 04:49, 4 November 2005 (EST)


 * Right. It's like an AoE spell interrupt around the target that happens when the arrows hit.  --Fyren 09:34, 4 November 2005 (EST)


 * Does it trigger the AoE code on monsters? Skuld  02:15, 27 May 2006 (CDT)

Visual Indication?
Is there any indication that you are being affected by Choking Gas if an ally next you is being hit? Since you are not taking damage, I don't suppose it'll show up over your head unless it's something like "-0 (Choking Gas)". I assume there is a cloud of some type, but I don't remember seeing it.


 * Yes, a cloud of green smoke will poof out of the character hit by it. --Karlos 13:33, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Wilderness Survival?
I can't check now but i'm 99% certain this is tied to expertise, can someone confirm please Skuld  06:50, 26 May 2006 (CDT)
 * I'm only 95% certain this is tied to Wilderness... - 06:56, 26 May 2006 (CDT)
 * I remember it being 1 second on my E/R and i've been looking through wilderness skills recently and I don't remember it being in there Skuld  06:59, 26 May 2006 (CDT)
 * So it is. Skuld  02:15, 27 May 2006 (CDT)

Practiced Stance and builds
Since I see a lot of people trying to put Choking Gas in their builds without using practiced stance I have modified the notes on this. Feel free to reword or revert if you disagree or have a better idea. Tharna 14:46, 15 October 2006 (CDT)

Interuption
How quickly are creatures/players suffering from Choking Gas interupted? Is it possible to get any spell off while affected?
 * Interruption occurs only when the arrow reaches the target (whether or not it actually hits). --Fyren 21:30, 15 October 2006 (CDT)
