Talk:Sharpen Daggers

Game updates/20070119
The test weekend shows that this skill will soon be useless. 20 secs you get 4 attacks that deal bleeding. The critical barrage build is pretty much dead now. ~the Rat~

Oh-my-God. They screwed up one of the best Assassin non-elite skills. 5 hits? No, thanks. - Abedeus 15:47, 21 January 2007 (CST)


 * Maybe the 'critical' part of it is "useless", but since Sharpen Daggers is still an enchantment instead of a prep, it's still useful with Barrage. Now instead of 13 seconds of conditional bleeding, you can keep up to 30 enemies bleeding continuously without even having to do a critical.  (5 uses of barrage on unique enemy clusters of 6 each time)  I don't see how that's a bad thing.  Note it says the next N "attack skills", not next N "hits".  --Tometheus 17:22, 21 January 2007 (CST)
 * I tried A/R Crit Barraging last night, and I eventually stopped using sharpen daggers completely because of the nerf, as it seemed like it was the next x hits, which is mostly worthless. Just tested it with Barrage again, it functioned as "hits".  The bleeding only occurs on usage of attack skills now, so maybe the description is actually something like: 'the next x hits of the next x attack skills.'  I have to go to class, but it might be worth it to test with just 5 normal attack skills, have the first be Dual Shot, and see if the last one does inflict the bleeding.
