Talk:Death Pact Signet

This is kind of sinister O.o &mdash; Skuld 13:47, 22 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Look at the cast time and get over it.
 * Imagine a whole team of Primary or secondary Ritualists.... The battle would only end in one big chain reaction that would kill them all at once xD &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|20px|My Talk Page :o]] 17:55, 22 September 2006 (CDT)
 * ROFL, Me like! This could be great fun. Oh and think of the possibilities for EoE bombs =) --Xeeron 05:41, 23 September 2006 (CDT)
 * I don't feel like there's a viable reason to ever use my Rez Signets again. I am very amused. Alt F Four 06:50, 23 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Has anyone tried if it causes a death penalty when this skill kills the ritualist? --Parabellum 11:24, 23 September 2006 (CDT)

This is odd...how does the game keep track of who this has been used on? How many people can you use it on? Will it cancel the previous connection? What other effects could cancel the connection? Very mysterious... Arshay Duskbrow 18:54, 23 September 2006 (CDT)
 * I assume an icon will appear on the effects panel, like when using Signet of Strength or Soul Twisting. But you may end up having multiple icons if you have multiple resses, which could make things rather interesting. I think this'll be a good last-ditch res in something like PvP or when in a relatively safe PvE area, but you'd want to be careful who you use it on (not assassins, obviously).

 * Best case scenario: you use it when you're on a sliver of health left, the debuff gets purged when you die anyways. Worst case scenario: you use it when you're at full health on an assassin with 60% DP :D
 * If you use it when you're almost dead, the person you res will be almost dead too. two deaths for the price of one! =) --Kiiron 10:50, 28 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Don't worry, dervishes will join assassins in the "we think we can tank with 70 armor" category. Then people can discriminate assassins AND dervishes.  Back on topic:  This res is a bigger risk than using a 6 or 8 second res.  Assassinman 16:18, 28 September 2006 (CDT)

Except Dervishes can tank due to the huge amount of powerful defensive and healing skills they have. Well, maybe not tank but certainly survive at melee range respectably. Arshay Duskbrow 16:44, 28 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Considering the amount of enchantment removals that have been added in nightfall, do you think a PVE enemy(after your character leaves the island) is stupid enough to not have at least one or two enchantment removal skills when they see a fully enchanted dervish running towards them? I hope not, because that would make these monsters as stupid as about 90% of the prophecies kind, and it will make factions be the only one to have the smartest monster AI that effectively knew how to ruin any monk's day(which actually brought a challenge).  Just like how afflicted explosions were the weakness of assassins, enchantment removal+spike will be dervishes' ultimate weakness.  The only thing they should do is what they were meant to do, same goes with assassins.  Assassinman 01:16, 29 September 2006 (CDT)

This isn't really the place to get into it, but I think you're being overly pessimistic. Enchant stripping for a Dervish isn't that big a deal. They get Mysticism bonuses plus whatever "end" effects the enchants might've had, and almost all of their enchants cast and recharge quickly. They also have a wide selection of potent healing skills; Natural Healing actually works best when you don't have enchants, but there's also Dwayna's Touch, Pious Restoration and Signet of Piety, along with things like Conviction, a stance that gives +24 armor OR +3 regen if you have no enchants. Very long story short, enchant removal is hardly the end of the world for a Dervish. They've been designed with good survivability. That is what they're "meant to do".

 * Instead of coming up with a counterargument, I'll simply state, only time will tell, and that we'll see proof of "survivability" when Nightfall comes out.  Assassinman 14:34, 29 September 2006 (CDT)

Get back on topic!! Death Pact Signet, fastest res skill in the game with the greatest penalty. (Terra Xin 10:43, 7 October 2006 (CDT))


 * How about this skill combined with Symbolic Celerity? :D --71.48.123.140 19:02, 12 October 2006 (CDT)]]

Skill descrip
Pretty vague. Heres something that probably needs to be tested, if a rit rezzes 2 people with this, one dies and it kills the Rt. Does the other one still kill the Rt when he dies? or are they basically off the hook because they died from it already? If they DONT get killed from it again, this is an extremely good skill and all rezzing should be left to whoever has this so it doesnt chain and kill everyone rezzing each other with it.--Thelordofblah 17:29, 12 October 2006 (CDT)
