Talk:Spike

I continue don't understanding what's spike =[
 * Just read the article based on this comment.. and yeah, it could certainly use some clearer language. In other games this is usually simply left as "direct damage"; anyone know why GW aquired unique terminology? Does the slang differentiate between direct damage and spiking, or is "spike" just a synonym, and we only break damage between spike, AOE, and DOT? --Nunix 00:13, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Well I can't you what "we" do because your vote Nunix has more sway than mine but...for my mind, to Spike is to inflict a large amount of damage in one go. Not just direct damage, a large amount of damage too. However, if we were going to break up our damage into categories you forgot accidental damage when you use Endure Pain then forget about it until just before you keel over! :) --Xasxas256 02:06, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Er.. no votes here, just a discussion, which is why I asked a question. =p Regardless: ah, large damage. I hadn't thought of that (I generally play casters; every bit of damage is large ;) at all. OKay, cool! Nunix learns a thing. That actually makes rather more sense to me now. --Nunix 02:32, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry I should have said at the start of my post that my tongue was firmly in cheek, what's the emoticon for that? :P-_- or is that just me licking the side of someones face!?!? I've had such a fun day today that I couldn't imagine anyone taking anything I say seriously! So as a caster, how does your large damage go against Rangers? (no need to answer seriously I'm still :P-_- )!!!! --Xasxas256 02:47, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
 * No, not the damage I do, the damage I get. XD I get a papercut and fold over like a lawn chair. ;___; --Nunix 02:56, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
