Talk:Way of the Empty Palm

I happen to find this skill works quite well when used in conjunction with repeating strike, and a high damage dual hit, to end the combo as WotEP starts to wear off.
 * Indeed, this is an excellent energy saver, and since it is an enchantment, Golden Phoenix Strike would work too. The only problem is that most sins think deadly arts is a crappy attribute, in which i think otherwise.

Any other locations?
I noticed the 1000 Daggers boss using it when I did the quest, but I haven't really seen it elsewhere... glad I already got it! - Greven 23:13, 19 May 2006 (CDT)

Wait, /what/, you mean if my assassin has done this quest and I didn't cap this skill I'm basically screwed over? >> Kessel 06:05, 20 May 2006 (CDT)


 * Well, until another boss is found (if there is one), just go along with someone doing the quest. --68.142.14.52 06:19, 20 May 2006 (CDT)


 * Submitted support ticket to them, got forwarded to Game Support, will post reply here when it arrives. Kessel 10:53, 20 May 2006 (CDT)


 * Thank you for contacting the Guild Wars Support Team.


 * You may still be able to capture this skill by partying with someone who has (but has not completed) the Halcyon Job quest.

Finally resolved. Kessel 03:31, 1 July 2006 (CDT)

There is another boss that has this elite, you have to do some exploring. Hint : Its in Lux territory.

 * Never seen it either, and I spend a lot of my time in Luxon territory... Kessel 20:46, 5 August 2006 (CDT)

Karate
Okay, one more time outside of the edit summaries. Karate is written 空手 in Japanese. The first kanji means "empty" and the second means "hand." Through artistic license, you can get "palm" if you want. But there's no "way of." Contrast with 剣道 and 武士道 which are kendo (usually swordsmanship, but you can say way of the sword if you feel poetic) and bushido (the samurai equivalent of chivalry). 剣 is sword and 武士 is warrior. 道 is what gets translated "way of." It can mean teachings or course and also has the more mundane meaning of street or road. --Fyren 21:35, 4 May 2007 (CDT)
