Related Skills
I want to first thank you for your work on related skills it is very relevant and much needed. I would like to know what your system is though. How do you determine whether two skills are related or not. I ask because I think your list of related skills for Whirlwind has too many entries. I am thinking your criteria was "Knockdon" skills in the Elementalist profession, but that is not a correct assessment, in my view.

For a primary ele, Whirlwind is a defensive skill. No ele in his right mind would walk into a group of enemies and knockthem down with Whirlwind and then do Aftershock on them. Because if they don't die instantaneously, they'll get up and maul him.

For a secondary ele (namely W/E), Whirlwind could be used as a KD/AS tool.

But there is no relation between Whirlwind and Meteor Shower or Earthquake. Those are obvious offensive skills, the long cast time means they'd be disasterous as an escape route. Your thoughts? --Karlos 07:04, 15 Sep 2005 (EST)

I based the related skills on: skills that have a similar result to similar targets, plus ALL of the knockdown skills from the same profession. So while all of the Elementalist skills are listed, very few of many Warrior knockdown skills are listed, as they are not all similar in effect.

Feel free to trim excessive Related Skills, especially those from the same profession. I am no Elementalist! Dashface 14:29, 15 Sep 2005 (EST)
