Talk:Power Block

The secondary effect
According to the last note, Power Block can counter Mantra of Resolve because of the disabling effect. However, according to the skill description, disabling effect only happens if the spell is interrupted (wording different from Psychic Distraction). Can anyone verify the last note on Power Block? - 08:59, 23 June 2006 (CDT)
 * I confirm the said effects on Mantra of Resolve and Mantra of Concentration. You even have the energy penalty upon "interruption" with the Mantra of Resolve. The error message you get is "This skill is recharging". Since it's actually recharging the whole attribute, I think it works as well for any other interruption-prevention. (Safe spellbreaker.) --Nilles 09:57, 23 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Well I guess this can be used to counter that RI/SB spike that has proliferated GvG recently. Too bad for its slow recharge though. --Draygo Korvan 10:02, 23 June 2006 (CDT)
 * I think Spell Breaker needs a separate check. It's not itself a interrupt-prevention skill. - 15:42, 23 June 2006 (CDT)
 * I would bet that Spell Breaker actually prevents Power Block from succeeding. Like any other spell, the caster should get the "Target is protected" notice on trying to cast Power Block. ~ Nilles (chat) 17:32, 23 June 2006 (CDT)

Kinda wondering about this one, does it work on monster-skills, and if so, how? Is "Monster Skill" an attribute? Will it ruin, say, Shiro's day, or will it fail to disable his skills? --Black Ark 11:47, 17 July 2006 (CDT)
 * good luck interupting Shiro, all his skills are stances or immediate cast. you might have a easier time with Kuunavang--Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 11:58, 17 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Well, or Kuunavang, sure. This isn't something that's going to keep me awake at night, I'm just wondering. Also, given that Kuunavang and Shiro (and some other monsters/NPCs) have special monster skills with unique icons, I'm also wondering if the game treats those differently from your garden-variety monster-skills. Or how to find that out, if at all. Good thing I won't lose any sleep over this, eh? --Black Ark 12:04, 17 July 2006 (CDT)
 * It's been brought up in Talk:Glint, as her monster skills have their own special icons as well. &mdash; Rapta  [[image:Rapta_Icon1.gif|19px]] (talk|contribs) 19:30, 17 July 2006 (CDT)

Needs some extra research...
First, I noticed that while fighting Lyssa's Cursed on Perdition Rock with a smiting build, I got hit with the power block and it also disabled my smite signets. Could someone look into if this disables signets of the same attribute as the interrupted spell? And also, perhaps look into Unlinked Attribute skills. Bring...say Arcane Echo and Arcane Mimicry and see if disabling Arcane Echo causes a disable on Mimicry. Any two unlinked skills would work. --Vortexsam 04:09, 21 January 2007 (CST)
