Talk:Exhausting Assault

About the reference to Exhausting Assault... does it even exist? I can't seem to find it anywhere on the wiki. Noob4sure 23:03, 5 May 2006 (CDT)
 * I'm pretty sure they are the same skill. One of them was renamed to the other. LordKestrel 23:53, 5 May 2006 (CDT)
 * Went and checked the skill trainer, it's now called Exhausting Assault. I moved the page, and will delete the note. LordKestrel 23:56, 5 May 2006 (CDT)

Fun Question
If the target tries to cast a spell as soon as his last one is interrupted, can this skill interrupt twice? If so, does it cause double exhaustion? I tried to test it, but all I could figure out was that it's really hard to make this happen, if all possible. Anyone have observations or an experiment? &mdash; 130.58 (talk) ( 22:35, 9 June 2006 (CDT) )


 * It should work that way since every dual attack applies the attack effect on both hits. --68.142.14.91 22:40, 9 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Yes. But is it even possible for this combo to come up at all is the question? If the first one interrupts, can you start casting again quickly enough for the second one to hit as well? (Having a double chance to interrupt is very nice when you have to deal with evasion or Blindness, though.) &mdash; 130.58 (talk) ( 22:43, 9 June 2006 (CDT) )


 * There's no "aftercast" when someone gets interrupted but the two hits come pretty close together. Someone would probably have to have a second spell queued while the first was casting.  --68.142.14.91 22:48, 9 June 2006 (CDT)


 * You could probably test it by having one person bring a long casting spell in a scrimmage. Have someone stick arcane conundrum or something so it's easy to hit it with Exhausting Assault, and have him queu up the next spell after that.


 * Well, the correct way to test it would be to have someone use Mantra of Concentration. First hit will cancel the mantra, second hit will then either interrupt/exhaust or... not. -Ellisthion 10:04, 25 September 2006 (CDT)


 * In PvP, I think I interrupted a Monk casting two consecutive 1/4 second spells. They were definitely both interrupted, but I cannot with certainty confirm that it was Exhausting Assault that did both. -- Dashface [[Image:Dashface.png]] 05:06, 23 July 2006 (CDT)

Weirdness
Ok, so I got a guildmate to help test today (thanks w33t!). 1. It interrupts and causes exhaustion on the first attack, this is expected. 2. It unqueues whatever you had queued to cast.. this is interesting. He expressed the sentiment that it might be possible to interrupt 2 spells if you were absolutely spamming them (1/4s casts maybe?), but we weren't able to do this. - Greven 21:33, 29 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Alright, so normal interruption unqueues a second skill.. strange I'd never noticed this. Is this in the interrupt article? - Greven 21:38, 29 June 2006 (CDT)


 * From my experience using this in PvP, it does not unqueue the next skill. I have gone against fire nukers that had another skill queued up and it went through with it and got interrupted too. Also, THIS SKILL ROCKS! - 66.67.185.33 15:08, 21 August 2006 (CDT)

Icon?
This is one of the few skills in the game whose image I cannot make out. What in the world is going on in this skill icon? Tarinoc 15:21, 19 September 2006 (CDT)
 * It looks like a dude hunched over holding his head. The one I can't make out is Weaken Knees. I think of Yoda everytime I see it. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Chuiu (contribs) 20:41, 19 September 2006.


 * Heh, I don't see it. You sure that's what it is? Tarinoc 21:02, 19 September 2006 (CDT)
 * No, not sure, thats just what it looks like to me. Anyone else? [[Image:Chuiu Me Icon.png]] (T/C) 21:26, 19 September 2006 (CDT)
 * To me it looks like a hunched over person holding his head. Also, Weaken Knees is a picture of the same thing, it's a tatooed necromancer hunched over with her hands over her legs. At least that's what I see. --Kiiron 01:06, 1 October 2006 (CDT)


 * Don't know about you guys but to me, it looks like a punching glove pointing upwards. Although it makes no sense whatever. >> Trace 19:10, 23 September 2006 (CDT)

Skill Description
About this skill, if you refer to Disrupting Stab, you'll realize it says "when this attack hits". This skill doesn't say so, it interrupts AND causes exhaustion. I haven't tested it yet but does anyone have any experience with this? >> Trace 19:14, 23 September 2006 (CDT)

Exhaustion
I have used this to exhaust an Ele but can you exhaust a Monk (see article)?Kiteeye 02:45, 24 September 2006 (CDT)
 * If you can hit him, sure. &mdash; 130.58 (talk) 03:53, 24 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Is the exhaustion dependant on interruption, or can this cause exhaustion twice in a row on someone using Mantra of Concentration or Mantra of Resolve? -- Gordon Ecker 18:57, 28 September 2006 (CDT)
 * If you read the description, it says they are given exhaustion if it interrupts a spell. With MoC/R, they prevent the interrupt so no exhaustion. (Ocelot never 03:02, 3 October 2006 (CDT))
 * The description is somewhat ambiguous. "That action" can be interpreted as meaning either "the interrupted action" or merely "the foe's action at the time that this attack hit". Even if the wording was unambiguous, skill descriptions aren't always correct. -- Gordon Ecker 06:14, 18 October 2006 (CDT)
