Talk:Irresistible Blow

Update typo?
Today's update said the damage was decreased to 5..20. Ingame it is 5..17. I put the ingame values in.
 * ANet has always used 0-15 attribute ranks for variable values. The game uses 0-12. 220.233.103.77 06:07, 14 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Thanks, didn't know that.


 * So glad ANet nerfed this. Bye bye thumpers.


 * Thumpers are back with a vengeance. :P Arshay Duskbrow 22:33, 10 December 2006 (CST)

Huge Buff
With the elimination of "evade" and the change that all such defensive skills now "block", this is much, much more effective. Arshay Duskbrow 23:46, 19 January 2007 (CST)
 * There's no doubt about that. Now this skill effectively shuts down Mesmers with Distortion.  I'm wondering how this will affect the metagame.  Doom Music 18:40, 22 January 2007 (CST)
 * This is the same with all other similar skills, too, like Swift Chop and Seeking Blade. This particular skill gets a bigger buff, because its damage got nerfed...cheers for IB being a viable skill again. Thou, you could still use Griffon's Sweep for same effect.

Damage?
How can this skill used by a monster deal over 100 damage to elementalists with max armor?
 * Damage from hammer + hammer mastery + critical strike? 75.3.235.150 09:30, 7 September 2007 (CDT)
 * And level difference. I'm guessing he's talking about Magni --Blue.rellik 12:27, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Irresistibly not blocking
Does this skill have a higher chance to hit? In RA especially against monks this skill rarely gets blocked even when the monk has 75% block stance thus no KD. All my other skills get blocked but not this. I know that each hit has its own 75%:25% block ratio (while in blocking stance). But this had happened way too many times for it to be a coincidence.
