 * ....its says that its a elite but the skill icon shows that its NOT a elite??....--WichmanN 08:41, 26 September 2006 (CDT)


 * It's elite. I unlocked it during the event for Melonni. It's wicked too. I am not sure if that's the icon I saw. Maybe this is the wrong icon? --Karlos 08:29, 27 September 2006 (CDT)

It surely must be. Instant Deep Wound, 5 energy, 3 recharge? That's definitely Elite power. Arshay Duskbrow 03:27, 27 September 2006 (CDT)
 * You forgot the Bleeding. Use this before triggering attack enchantments for Bleeding, then while enchanted for the Deep Wound.193.61.111.50 08:48, 27 September 2006 (CDT)

Actually I didn't, but it would still be Elite-status even without that. The bleed (which lasts forever) just makes it even more awesome. :) Arshay Duskbrow 13:38, 27 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Answer to this is simple. In the PvP event, when most of the skill icons were obtained, this skill was not elite. The dervish did in fact have only 2 non form elites, and both were in Mysticism.
 * As everyone can see, this is one great skill. Many people, including me, unlocked it then and used it in Dervish builds, making ANet look at it harder and decide that it really was too strong as a normal skill, so Elite status, here we come! Upshot of this is that I saved 2k faction, as it's still good. --Khoross 12:09, 27 September 2006 (CDT)

If this doesn't get nerfed then this will be the skill that makes dervishes wanted in PvP. Spammable deep wound is insane pressure, combine this with some sort of ranger condition degen or something and a warrior, and you have a fun build. --Theonemephisto 18:24, 2 October 2006 (CDT)

I use it by putting up Vital Boon then running in and Wounding -> Pious Assault -> Wounding, then replace vital boon and repeat on another, giving deep wound + cover on at least 2 people. --Spark 21:33, 5 January 2007 (CST)

Why is this skill related to reapers sweep? I mean they both cause DW, but then it should be related to otehr DW causing attacks, and Eviscarate isn't related to dismember is it? -- S i  g  m  A   10:33, 1 February 2007 (CST)

it's a good skill, very good, but in the end has the same effects that can be caused easily with sever and gash...tho better....  ~ Soqed Hozi ~ 

Scythe attacks in general
Someone added a note saying the description was bugged since this will condition foes other than the target, but every attack you make with a scythe works like that. Each foe you hit counts as the target, so various effects can trigger (or not, if the conditions aren't met) on each foe you hit. It's not specific to this skill or even scythe attacks. I don't think we want to note it on every melee and scythe attack. --Fyren 18:28, 2 March 2007 (CST)
