Talk:Wild Strike

Hmm, I would've expected this skill to also deal gaurenteed critical, since it's like a cousin to Wild Blow. Pity. -PanSola 21:58, 20 April 2006 (CDT)
 * Wild blow is "lose all adrenaline", which hurts most warriors badly. So that's more than fair. 134.130.4.46 15:25, 4 May 2006 (CDT)
 * I would've expected this skill to ignore evasion and blocking, which is really much more important than that. +17 damage is probably better than criting, anyway, I'd have to say (and it would be too cheap if this skill let you keep Critical Defenses going indefinitely). &mdash; 130.58 (talk) ( 16:34, 4 May 2006 (CDT) )

If the description reads accurately, this skill would seem rather pointless against the various defensive stances, as it will fail to "hit" when blocked, evaded or otherwise countered by the stance. Can anyone confirm if this is the case? --Bishop (rap|con) 11:48, 6 May 2006 (CDT)
 * If that is true, it seems that it would only be useful against mantras and other non-blocking/evading stances. Either way, the lead attack would probably also miss.  Also, what does it mean when it says one stance?  Is that just ANet adding words, since you can only have one stance at a time, correct?--theonemephisto
 * You're perfectly correct, it would be hard to land a Lead against a defensive stance, making this doubly useless against those... I don't seem to recall any Leads that are not block/dodge-able. And as for the wording, I actually believe the article is not quoting the game entirely accurately, perhaps someone who has the skill in game can confirm the wording? --Bishop (rap|con) 12:24, 6 May 2006 (CDT)
 * No, the description is accurate, though the numbers aren't. Amusingly, it also says "1" instead of "one" in game.  --68.142.13.105 19:22, 6 May 2006 (CDT)
 * The fact that the skill itself doesn't hit through block/evade is not the end of the world, you just need to bring Way of the Fox (which description is outdated, I'll reactualise it when I get back to GW.) --theeth 12:51, 6 May 2006 (CDT)

Does this skill really hit instantly, as the 0-second activation time in the skill box seems to indicate? All other attack skills that have no explicitly mentioned activation time take 1 second to execute, so this 0-second activation time seems suspect to me. --CoreDumpError 13:21, 20 June 2006 (CDT)

Can't you have distortion which is a stance, with bonetti's defense at the same time? So it would take off the most recent stance.
