Talk:"Incoming!"

Found two bosses in Bahdza just north of Makuun with this. --Fyren 05:44, 28 October 2006 (CDT)

Confirmed. They're named scracher & screecher or something like that. Wierd thing, once you killed them, some skree spawn and rush to the nearest portal without fighting. bug? --Jaimes Laig Romarto 19:59, 3 November 2006 (CDT)

WTF
Why is the skill description changing on a 1...4 scale and the table a % damage reduction scale? User:Bobmilkman/Sig 01:01, 24 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Surely this skill description should read 1...5, not 1...4? User:Lavindathar 15:11, 1st December 2006(GMT)

 * Why is this elite? at 12 Command it gives 41% damage reduction for 4 seconds. At 12 Tactics "Watch Yourself!" gives you ~29.3% damage reduction for 10 seconds. -- Gordon Ecker 18:26, 29 July 2006 (CDT)
 * While I agree this skill may be underwhelming, damage reduction is quite a different matter from extra armor. Especially as many spikes use damage types that bypass armor entirely. -- [[Image:Bishop_icon2.png]] Bishop [ rap|con ] 18:41, 29 July 2006 (CDT)
 * If you will recall, however, life stealing skills don't trigger "damage" so it is highly unlikely that they are affected by this skill. - 68.97.135.143 18:55, 31 July 2006 (CDT)
 * But it would technically work against Lightning Orb and Obsidian Flame (latter of which Watch Yourself doesn't help). --Vortexsam 19:00, 31 July 2006 (CDT)
 * The thing is it will only work 20% of the time since it is 4 seconds and there is a 20 second recharge. The skill was a nice idea, but if it was 6-8 seconds it would make it more useful since it could be upkept 30-40% of the time.--Life Infusion 20:42, 31 July 2006 (CDT)
 * It serves its purpose, to stop a spike every once in a while, there's also ways to extend the duration with a ritualist item spell that makes all shouts and chants last longer (say good bye to attacking) and the echo that makes shouts and chants last longer on a target ally...between the two you could have this up for a decent duration on most of the group, and longer on a few people. With two people carrying dedicated builds, you can keep it up almost indeffinitely. bobross


 * But the discussion is about anti-spike (presumably non-adrenal). You will always easily be able to see such a spike coming.  You don't want a long duration, you want a short recharge.  A 2s duration with 10s recharge would be an immensely better skill (though horribly unbalanced).  --68.142.14.106 09:29, 1 August 2006 (CDT)
 * beta skill, give the dev teams time to finish, ok? --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 10:35, 1 August 2006 (CDT)
 * I'd have to say you're all looking at this in the wrong light. Say a team with 5 paragons all had this? It could be kept up indefinitely, and to rather dire effect. Not a bad idea with the constant damage output plus the defense most paragons provide, even if it is 5 elite slots. Might only need one monk in this case, but unlikely. Still, an intriguing team build, and possibly a dynamic farming one for PvE. Don't forget you don't have to be a P primary to use this. Kamahl 14:17, 7 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Well with 20 sec recharge, you'll probably catch half of obs flame spikes with this, if they use glyph of energy. Decent if you ask me.

Is there a cap on how long the duration of a shout can be increased? Because if you have Vocal was Sogolon and Enduring Harmony and max out command and restoration you can get Incoming to last for more than half it's recharge time. That's 50% damage reduction for more than half of the time.Waywrong

 * Exactly this isn't Wikipedia. This site has ties with GWonline so build/skill debate can go there in the threads provided, while editing can stay here. Also this site doesn't have the resources Wikipedia has, so forums for skill debates will help keep the actual wiki more managable.65.161.102.250 20:20, 4 December 2006 (CST)

 * Wikipedia talks solely about page edits on their talk pages. We are not wikipedia, therefore we can talk about things other than just page edits and it makes this site a lot more fun to be a part of, as it functions basically like a forum. -- Hyperion` 17:13, 22 January 2007 (CST)

Trivia?
Reference to this popular image? &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.6.92.63 &bull; contribs).


 * A shouted incoming is a commonly used warning in modern day military (english speaking, that is) for imminent air strikes, artillery shelling and the like. In many war movies thi is the last thing you hear before a big BOOM! ;) --84-175 (talk) 14:00, 28 July 2006 (CDT)


 * At the sound of mortar fire, the recruit soldier yells "Incoming!" and drops flat on his stomach. The veteran soldier drops first. -- [[Image:Bishop_icon2.png]] Bishop [ rap|con ] 18:44, 29 July 2006 (CDT)


 * Which suggests that this skill is designed as anti-spike. Great thing imho and works against touchers too. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 18:45, 29 July 2006 (CDT)
 * It could also be referencing to Worms, when using Napalm. :D &mdash; Galil  19:03, 31 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Worms rocks, and yeah, the little squeaky voice of "Incoming!" before an Air Strike and then a "Noice Shot" coming from the other team XD --Terrifi Cani 17:13, 31 October 2006 (CST)

Kunan the Loudmouth (Wilderness of Bahdza)

confirm boss
Can someone comfirm this boss, i never saw him there, is he only there during a quest? 203.134.131.89 04:55, 6 November 2006 (CST)

Confirm Conditions of these bosses
I have located screecher after doing Destrpy the Harpies and also cannot find this loudmouth, anyone else expierenced this and anyone even seen this "Kunan The Loudmonth" 222.153.64.102 02:47, 25 November 2006 (CST)


 * Kunan appears only after you have finished the Extinction quest. Thunder 00:47, 8 January 2007 (CST)

Elite?
Another Paragon elite which is worthless. This can go in the trash heap along with It's just a flesh wound, Defensive Anthem and The power is yours. Who on earth is coming up with these skills are why are all the paragon elites so pants? A real shame Neon 12:14, 2 December 2006 (CST)
 * It used to be very useful. 2 seconds makes all the difference. Now you actually have to think when you use it, whereas before it could be spammed whenever it recharged and would be useful damage prevention. Now it is only anti-spike. Anti-spike that can be accomplished forever with a bonder, but whatever. Certainly I think its use in PvE has gone. --Carth 17:55, 2 December 2006 (CST)
 * Bonds get removed, bonders get pressured. Shouts don't &mdash; Skuld 12:51, 4 December 2006 (CST)

Exualy ANY skill is for good use, we may not see the good use in it. But anyway, this is a good elite skill if u ask me.--InfestedHydralisk 13:38, 14 December 2006 (CST)
 * It is still better in almost all respects than Defensive Anthem:
 * If we have 15 leadership and 12 command, then incoming lasts 4 sec and defensive anthem lasts 10 sec. Incoming is up 4 sec out of 20 sec(20%) and Defensive anthem is up 10 sec out of 25 sec(also 40%).

- Incoming halves damage from all sources, DA only from attacks(big big big plus)

- Incoming can't be interrupted, no cast time

- Incoming is cheaper

- Incoming doesn't end on attack skill use(big plus, cos frenzying warriors trying to spike(thus using attack skills) often get spiked themselves)

- Defensive anthem also halves adrenaline gain, not just damage, this is defensive anthem's sole advantage.(and it is not nearly large enough. --Spura 04:11, 15 December 2006 (CST)
 * But Incoming is from Command, which is a bit weak if you ask me, especially if you are looking for a good all-around build. DA is Leadership, which is much more commonly used. If you ask me though, they both pale compared to spamming Song of Restoration, but i guess that's a personal preference. ~Poke 13:58, 24 December 2006 (CST)

And now it's 3 seconds out of every 20 for 10 energy at 12+ Command. This is a joke. -- Gordon Ecker 18:04, 9 February 2007 (CST)

B4 Nerf
What was incoming like b4 nerf? It was just longer duration. Forget how long exactly, but you could keep it up indefinatley with 2 characters, thats why it got nerfed.

It went up to 7 sec at 16 command and it costed 5 en. --Spura 08:41, 8 January 2007 (CST)
