Talk:Action prevention skills quick reference

There is also skill "disabling" quick reference. Should it be just added to this or a separate reference? By this I mean Blackout, Arcane Thievery, ... --Karlos 06:03, 6 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Fail != Disable, Fail prevents an action from happening at all (not the case with SB but meh), while disabling is an action that stops the another action from happening. Xeon 07:23, 16 December 2006 (CST)
 * On second thoughts, where does the interrupt qr fit into all this. Xeon 07:25, 16 December 2006 (CST)
 * ah ok got it. mixed them around a bit. Fail prevents any action from happening on the target. Disable changes the skill recharge time of a target and interrupt is an action that cancels another action. They are all related yet different. Xeon 07:28, 16 December 2006 (CST)

I'm fairly sure Mirror of Ice shouldn't be in this reference. It doesn't cause any spells to fail, it just negates damage from the spell. PedroPickles 23:42, 7 February 2007 (CST)
 * Removed it and hex breaker. --Fyren 23:47, 7 February 2007 (CST)
 * I double-checked but i'm fairly sure that hex breaker does cause failure.....when i read its description i see "For 15...75 seconds, the next time you are the target of a "Hex", that Hex fails, the caster takes 10...39 damage. It is only a failure of hexes, but failure nonetheless. I would revert it myself but I haven't learned the wiki code very well yet and I'm afraid I'd break something >:3 PedroPickles 00:10, 8 February 2007 (CST)
 * Nope. What actually happens is the target just doesn't get hexed.  Any other effects still occur.  Also, the skill begins its usual recharge afterwards.  --Fyren 00:14, 8 February 2007 (CST)
 * I see. So the wiki considers a skill causing "failure" as one that causes an instant recharge on failure and having the other effects occur as opposed to using skills which have the wording "fail" in them? =p Thanks for clearing that up =). In that case, "Can't Touch This!" should probably be added if it works in the manner that I remember. Looks like I'll have to start catching up on formatting in the wiki so I can do these things myself =) PedroPickles 00:18, 8 February 2007 (CST)
 * Skill descriptions are usually either wrong, imprecise, or too simple to screw up, heh. --Fyren 00:21, 8 February 2007 (CST)

What about self-failing skills, like Gale? (Terra Xin 21:36, 12 February 2007 (CST))
 * I don't think anyone would ever be interested in looking up a list of them. --Fyren 04:22, 13 February 2007 (CST)
