Talk:Sun and Moon Slash

Does this attack trigger enchantments like live vicariously and vigorous spirit twice?

Er, we aren't actually adding notes to every skill saying which campaign (or Core) they are from, right? That's what the category at the bottom of the page is for? Or does it need to be more prominent? No matter what, the note applied here seems extraneous to me, but I thought I'd ask for comments. --JoDiamonds 12:57, 8 May 2006 (CDT)

Trivia
The trivia that was added was:
 * The theme comes from Shui Hu Zhuan's "One Foot Green Snake", who uses two swords called "Sun" and "Moon".

While it may be a piece of classical Chinese literature, the reference is exceedingly obscure and there is no obvious connection to be found besides "swords." I removed it. --68.142.14.39 18:36, 10 August 2006 (CDT)


 * But Shui Hu Zhuan is of Tolkien fame in Chinese Litereture, except even more so because fantasy/adventure fiction are even rarer nowadays. There are a lot destroyed in the Cultural Revolution and all that, so this is one of the most if not the most popular fantasy story in China (I guess not really, monkeys are more adorable or something), which happens to be Asian, and one of the inspirations for factions. I personally see the relevance, and I find the trivia quite interesting. I think these little facts should be part of what "trivia" is about.--Silk Weaker 05:13, 31 October 2006 (CST)

Update
This skill makes no sense now. It might as well be called Sun and Sun Slash or Twin Sun Slash. Either way, it got buffed indirectly. --8765 19:22, 20 January 2007 (CST)
 * aye, it lost its cleverness, oh well... --FireFox [[Image:firefoxav.gif]] 19:33, 20 January 2007 (CST)
 * Yeah, probably in for a nerf now. --Shattered Self 20:57, 20 January 2007 (CST)
 * Hmm, Twin Sun Slash...How about Sunrise and Sunset Slash? Abbreviation SSS. Hehe. Entropy 20:59, 20 January 2007 (CST)
 * With a name change, though, it loses the Chinese literature reference, as noted above. 404notfound 03:53, 22 January 2007 (CST)
 * Iron Chef: America. The steamroller advances. It's inevitable...as much as I hate it. Thankfully the weekend changes were reverted and this is no longer an issue, at least for now. Entropy 02:07, 24 January 2007 (CST)

Well, what happens now? Entropy 21:30, 1 February 2007 (CST)
 * My guess is, people get killed by this skill. :P Arshay Duskbrow 06:31, 2 February 2007 (CST)
 * You do still need to build the 8 adrenaline in the first place, however... Draxynnic 20:00, 15 February 2007 (CST)


 * this is definitely and infinitely better than hundred blades now since theres no such thing as evade anymore. this totally pwns. hundred blades sucks. Xeones


 * "Hundred Blades sucks"? Any reason why? Or just because? Skax459 18:40, 21 April 2007 (CDT)


 * Hundred Blades:
 * Has long recharge.
 * Is energy based.
 * Having more than a few foes in front of you is really rare (and trying to gather surrounding mobs in front of you may :::::cause your aggro to leak.)
 * Does not add extra damage
 * So basically Sun and Moon Slash is equal to Hundred Blades, but it isn't elite. The elite slot is reserved for more powerful and useful attacks like Dragon Slash. --Aozora [[Image:aozora.png]] 11:41, 14 July 2007 (CDT)

Adrenaline gain
How does this cause any adrenaline gain? You "spend" 25 points of adrenaline to use it and gain 50 points for a total of 25 points, the same as a normal attack would give you, making the only adrenaline gain come from its ability to ignore blocking--Devils Apprentice 15:15, 16 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Because every other adrenal attack won't give you the extra strike. --Fyren 00:12, 17 April 2007 (CDT)
 * because it will hit twice, a furious sword can give back 3 strikes of adrenaline (19% probability) or even 4 strikes (1% probability). For great justice is another way to gain a lot of adrenaline out of sun and moonUtaku Mu Dan
 * The bonus from Strength, anyone ? I love this skill --Aozora [[Image:aozora.png]] 03:11, 26 June 2007 (CDT)

Noise
I love the noise this skill makes. SFING!
 * I agree --Aozora 07:37, 11 June 2007 (CDT)

This skill needs a buff
It really does. Some extra damage wouldn't be a bad idea. Aozora 11:58, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
