Talk:Aegis

Problem: There is a Shield by the name "Aegis", too. How should I name that articel? Should it be referenced from here (like missions / locations) and if so, how? --Eightyfour-onesevenfive 00:16, 25 Aug 2005 (EST)

We could create a disambiguation page, but considering that people will be searching for the spell Aegis 10 times more often than for the shield Aegis I'd prefer if we reserve the article Aegis for the skill and name the article for the shiled "Aegis Shield". We can always add a note to the skill article where to find the shield article. --Tetris L 01:09, 25 Aug 2005 (EST)

Do you get a discount on Aegis Casting Cost with an Air of Enchantment on one of your teammates? If nobody knows I'll probably do a test later... --Amokk 13:38, 13 October 2006 (CDT)

I don't think so. I believe Aegis is untargeted so Air of Enchantment probably won't work. --Nyc Elite 13:39, 5 January 2007 (CST)

Oblivion's Aegis
Doing my mages recommendation quests, at one of the branches a guy could teach me "Aegis", "50% shield for x seconds" :p (I think this one is probably from gw from similarity, not oblivion's fire storm, fireball, flare, meteor shower, heal other etc though) &mdash; Skuld 15:59, 16 December 2006 (CST)

Might be, I haven't played Oblivion in forever though lol. --Nyc Elite 13:38, 5 January 2007 (CST)

Correction
I removed a blurb in the notes which stated that Aegis "...effectively reduces damage taken from all attacks by half." This information is incorrect, as it is not how Aegis works. It does not offer damage reduction. Rather, it offers a chance to block attacks.--Ninjatek 07:16, 6 January 2007 (CST)
 * It said "effectively," not that it reduces damage by half. It does effectively reduce most attack damage by half.  --Fyren 09:11, 6 January 2007 (CST)
 * It said exactly what I wrote in the quotes. I canot explain this to you any further without being redundant.--208.191.183.47 09:20, 11 January 2007 (CST)
 * And that's why it's correct. I'll go ahead and be redundant by saying again that it said effectively.  It did not say it reduced damage in half.  --Fyren 10:37, 11 January 2007 (CST)

Reverting the page to a prior state
I'd like to suggest reverting this page back to the 21.01.07, 17:12, as Xeon deleted the subsection "Signet of Capture". His argument, "can cap earlier then that" is beside the point, and the according entry existed for a long time, anyway. The reason why i haven't reverted it myself is that i didn't want to have another entry in the history. Ah, and Xeon, plase use the preview facilities before submitting.
 * ... normally i do, just tired and seeing double vision atm and i thought i striped that out. Its silly to put signet of capture's (unless you can cap it before a skill trainer is available), why would someone spend all that time to cap a skill when they can just warp to the outpost and purchase it, its pointless information. -- Xeon 11:46, 21 January 2007 (CST)
 * Following your argument about pointless information, according to you, elite skill locations would have only 1 valid location to be listed, too, namely the first one to be encountered. The point here is about completeness. Editing information may be one thing, deleting it due to personal beliefs is another. There are several situations when the additional info may come in handy, and the page still isn't that strongly overcrowed to prohibit listing additional capture locations.
