Talk:Quivering Blade

Sun, the Quivering (i think) in Wajjun Bazaar used this, level 24 warrior Amh boss -Iiowyn

Unfortunately the dazed effect doesn't last long at all. Otherwise, Quivering Blade blocked by guardian, then plague touch the dazed condition = gg prot monk.
 * Thanks to the update, those lovely guardian spamming boon prots are going to get about 6-7 seconds of Dazed. GL&HF :-) 85.71.221.70 03:07, 14 July 2006 (CDT)
 * don't forget ot throw in your silencing weapon, giving them a 10 second dazed. {lengtens on creation, then again on transfer,}

There is no silencing sword modifier.-Onlyashadow 10:31, 22 August 2006 (CDT)
 * You can still swap to one for Plague Touch or Plague Sending. -- Gordon Ecker 04:02, 20 September 2006 (CDT)

Quivering Blade (Item)
How do I create a new page with this title, since I found a green called Quivering Blade from Sun, the Quivering.
 * Already at Quivering Blade (weapon). --68.142.14.33 03:08, 14 July 2006 (CDT)

usage
do not use it one the am fah assassins where you cap the skill, they will just block your attack  ><
 * Plague Touch. --NYC Elite 20:00, 27 April 2007 (CDT)

Use it with a skill that makes your next attack(s) unblockable (Guiding Hands)

silencing
There is no silencing sword mod, and since this can not be activated without a sword, why is the note back? If I were to switch to a bow before using plague touch, it takes about 2 seconds to switch weapons, not to mention the time it takes you to react to the fact that your attack was blocked, and then the 3/4 seconds it takes to cast plague touch. you end up losing over a third of your daze time, therefore the benefit of swapping to a silencing weapon is lost. Does ANYone else agree?-- Thelordofblah 15:07, 18 June 2007 (CDT)
 * how does it take 2 seconds to weapon switch.....Lord of all tyria 15:16, 18 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Try it, start attacking and then switch, theres a delay.-- Thelordofblah 17:33, 18 June 2007 (CDT)
 * It takes less than half a second to switch, perhaps less than a third of a second. If you do it while attacking, it's delayed till your current swing's "cooldown" is over.  --Fyren 22:47, 18 June 2007 (CDT)
 * ok... so isnt that like exactly what I said?-- Thelordofblah 01:58, 19 June 2007 (CDT)
 * "It takes about 2 seconds to switch weapons." --Fyren 03:17, 19 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Alright, well its AT LEAST 1 second of a delay, whatever it is, it for sure doesnt look like a third of a second if you click the weapon set while attacking. Regardless, it doesnt look like it adds up to a whole lot of extra dazed time, and seems highly impractical.-- Thelordofblah 03:30, 19 June 2007 (CDT)

Icon sword
Too bad theres no sword that looks like the sword in the icon :(. Looks so cool imo. Jahora 00:01, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

--Crenalated sword?
 * I think it's a mix between crenellated and a Vertebreaker. Silver40596

Why is this skill so underused?
Ok I just want some oppinions about this, but this is what I thought of: Now am I missing some things? Because writing this I'd guess there should be reasons to use Quivering Blade in certain pressure builds, damage wise and condition wise Shai Meliamne 22:26, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * +It is a 4 adrenaline Executioner's Strike (which costs 8 adrenaline normally), which should make this a great pressure skill
 * +It will apply the dazed condition punishing casters when being blocked
 * -When being blocked this attack will have to recharge for 4 seconds, meaning no adrenaline gain on this skill for 4 seconds
 * Dragon Slash is probably better at pressuring as it is basically a 5 adrenaline skill while also boosting the other adrenaline skills
 * Currently there is no silencing mod for sword (which I think sux btw as there are multiple warrior dazing skillz) so Quivering will not be all that effective
 * It will only apply Dazed to you. You have to transfer it to daze a caster, and even so, the daze duration is kinda short. --Shadowcrest  22:29, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Shadow hit the point right on the nose. But I don't feel that this skill is underused.  If I am running sword, I am either using Dragon Slash or this.  It all depends on the situation.  If I know I am going to be blocked alot, I won't bother trying to bring this.  But if I know that my attacks mostly wont be blocked, this has great damage output coupled with its adrenaline cost.  -- [[Image:Isk8.png]] User:Isk8  (T / C)  22:32, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Don't forget that applying Daze will interrupt any spell being cast- that means taking this with Plague Touch will give you a cheap fairly fast interrupt, regardless of the duration. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 22:37, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Buff
Who agrees?-- Taki Fujiko  10:44, 8 May 2008 (UTC)


 * That would be awesome :) --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage 10:58, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * That would own so much. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 11:03, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * That would be so stupid. 145.53.14.162 11:51, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Shame this is elite and you cant combine it with contagion... :/

update
Sucks now. W/N with Plague Touch and a Silencing mod made this a viable skill. If I'm going to hit a moving foe, I'd rather use Bull's Strike or Protector's Strike...they are Energy skills so they are ready to use when I need them. (T/C) 03:15, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

You'll have to point me out when you have seen a Silencing Sword mod cuz I never did... and changing weapons = failure XD Big Bow 04:15, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
