Talk:Illusionary Weaponry

I'm pretty sure a shield with a damage intake modifier (i.e. a PvP Shield -2 while enchanted) will reduce IW attack damage.
 * I don't see where in the article it says reduced damage wouldn't occur. But it does (and should) so you are correct. | Chuiu 00:11, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Removing the Backfire note
Does backfire trigger when IW is cast, or each time you attack with IW on you? In the later case it is definitly worth keeping. --Xeeron 21:15, 22 March 2006 (CST)
 * If it were the latter case, there's no point in having the empathy combo. The target would be dead regardless. -SolaPan 21:17, 22 March 2006 (CST)
 * Then the note was not only unnecessary, but even missleading and it's good it is gone =) --Xeeron 22:35, 22 March 2006 (CST)


 * I think someone is merely confused about this. It's possible we should put in the NOTES that it triggers Backfire when you cast IW, but not when you attack.  Obviously, someone is confused about it.  ;) --JoDiamonds 02:56, 23 March 2006 (CST)

Backfire is triggered on each IW attack, test it yourselves. --Acidic Thought 11:06, 23 March 2006 (CST)


 * Okay, I tested it, and I can confirm that Backfire does not trigger on IW attacks, though it does trigger on the actual casting. --adeyke 13:53, 23 March 2006 (CST)


 * Then I apoligize about my previous post, either I was tripping on acid, or I was experiencing some lag while using it in pvp. Very sorry.

Unstub
Why is this a stub? -- 01:41, 23 March 2006 (CST)
 * I'll take the liberty. 03:35, 23 March 2006 (CST)

Weapon
This skill doesn't work with any weapon. I tried to hit monsters with a wand and a staff, but the damage was just the same with and without IW. I guess that's what they meant by melee. Note: You can still be hurt by any attack with or with IW.

Does it get affected by skills that trigger when "fail to hit"
Just wondering if it's "deal no damage" equals "fail to hit". Spirit of Failure. -PanSola 01:03, 13 May 2006 (CDT)


 * The two "failures" do not trigger on IW swings. --68.142.14.79 02:26, 13 May 2006 (CDT)

If you use crippling skills such as hamstring while enchanted with illusionary weaponry do you cripple your opponent???

prominent builds
I thought it's just gonna be a link to a category? - 00:15, 22 June 2006 (CDT)

Combo with Assassin skills?
Has anyone checked if this skill works with assassin attacks or not?


 * If by assassin attacks you are referring to the double strike, then yes that triggers Illusionary Weaponry's damage. An experimental Me/A with high Dagger Mastery was pretty potent in RA (and with some dagger attack skills, very deadly)- Greven 15:35, 23 June 2006 (CDT)

Block?
Are Riposte and Deadly Riposte special, or do things like Aegis and Guardian have a chance at blocking IW's effect too? The semantics of the note currently implies the former, which would feel like an anomaly. - 18:35, 24 June 2006 (CDT)

Pets
Does this skill enhance pet attacks? Pet attacks can be considered melee. &mdash; ::A mont :: 08:04, 27 June 2006 (CDT)
