Talk:Obsidian Flame

I use this when all my other skills need to be recharged.


 * Yeah, it's pretty kickass. Everyone needs something to exhaust with.--Silk Weaker 09:45, 20 December 2006 (CST)


 * It exhausts the caster, not the foe.... Go4the1 22:30, 22 April 2007 (CDT)
 * why would you think otherwise? --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 22:40, 22 April 2007 (CDT)
 * It's a nice skill anyway. The Hobo 17:01, 31 May 2007 (CDT)

Odd that it says "But it causes exhaustion". "But" seems like a strange word choice...certain moves make exhaustion beneficial, like Second Wind. I accept that this move existed before Second Wind, but shouldn't the description read "and causes exhaustion"? - Gary
 * At the time this skill was introduced (when GW first came out), exhaustion was universally considered a disadvantage. You're right that the wording is non-standard as compared to other exhaustion causing skills, but there are other examples of similar things in the original group of skills.

Imo, its generally a bad idea to start of with this skill as it will cost you 10 energy instead of 5 because of the exhaustion. Maybe something to add to notes? --Arthas 15:00, 13 July 2007 (CDT)
 * What you're saying is true, but it's more an effect of exhaustion than of the skill itself. BigAstro 15:24, 13 July 2007 (CDT)

I've got this skill from Kamadan skill trainer, and I haven't unlocked it before with other eles, because the couldn't get in the other area's. Maybe Zehd unlocked it for me.

LOL, this discussion called up a hillarous memory for me when i was a weensy noob (everyone's a noob sometime), i found this skill and went WOW! ignore armor and 100 damage!! only 5 energy and only 5 recharge!! COOL! So i went into the Zaishen and spammed that spell over and over, and gee, eventually i got 100% exhaustion. but my last cast killed the final mezmer, so i didnt notice untill i tried it again with monks for enemies lmao!
