Perhaps add another note
About how many Elite Skills there are for each class, and how many there are overall.


 * I counted in Elite skills list the following. Total sum is 180, see also Skill Hunter title -- 84.153.188.49 07:31, 1 August 2006 (CDT)

No elite in istan (Nightfall)?
I read there is no elite in nightfall before you enter the kournan part of the map and beyond. However there is an elementalist boss in istan that caries an elite. Its located in the "issnur isles" an can be found in the far south on the map (If you check the map you see an sort of "beach" south of the construction in the middle). I know i captured an elite there, however i am not sure if it was linked to an quest (although i know for sure i hadn't any on istan at that moment). any1 can confirm ?
 * Yes, for some reason Icy Shackles is available out there. Ravenous Gaze is as well, but only during a quest. -Gildan Bladeborn 03:42, 4 May 2007 (CDT)

'Elite skills cannot be acquired until....'
I believe this section of the article is based off of when the signet of capture is purchasable in each edition.

The Crystal desert is inaccurate for prophecies, as you first gain access to the signet of capture in Lion's Arch.

As for bosses with elite skills: The final boss in the mission that takes you from pre-searing to post in Prophecies has the elite skill 'Barrage'. You don't get much earlier than that.
 * i think the article is refering to the first place in the story line where it is possible to capture an elite skill, which is true for all of the above, as you 1) cannot cap barrage in pre because you don't have a signet and 2) even after signets are available, there are no bosses with elites until the crystal desert. --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 05:19, 25 March 2007 (CDT)

Heroes using elite skills
"Your heroes may use unlocked elite skills whether they were unlocked through Signet of Capture or through spending Balthazar faction." Since this is a page about elite skills (not a page about heroes) and since that same information is covered in the appropriate place (see Hero), I don't believe that information needs to be included here.

A rule for Anet
When they created Guild Wars they should of put a rule on themselves to never nerf elites.

Elite Skill Tomes?
Don't We need to put something in here about tomes? Cap Sig is no longer the only way to obtain an elite. Cronus91 10:13, 22 April 2007 (CDT) I agree, ive seen lvl 2 eles with mind burn now :P

The "Acquiring" section needs to be edited. The last item that talks about skill tomes is simply an alternative to acquiring elites, not another step in the capturing process.
