Talk:Triple Chop

So is it only up to two adjacent foes as the name would imply, or is it all adjacent, as the skilldesc says? --Tinarto 02:55, 9 May 2006 (CDT)


 * All adjacent is the effect. It's just a name. Hundred Blades doesn't cause a hundred attacks either. 80.180.109.107 05:47, 19 May 2006 (CDT)

Hundred blades COULD cause one hundred attacks...-Onlyashadow 10:38, 22 August 2006 (CDT)
 * provided you were surrounded by 100 foes, so could triple chop. --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 10:42, 22 August 2006 (CDT)

Cyclone Axe vs Triple Chop
Unlike Cyclone Axe, Triple Chop requires a target to use it. However, similar to Cyclone Axe, the target can move out of range of the attack -- different than any other attack skill that targets an enemy, such as Death Blossom. - Greven 18:26, 28 June 2006 (CDT)

A combination of Cyclone Axe and Executioner's Strike

Am I the only one that disagrees with this? Triple Chop is an energy-skill, Executioner's Strike is an adrenal skill - that's a big difference. Cyclone Axe is unfocused and hits everything around the user, Triple Chop hits an enemy and targets adjacent to this enemy - that's a huge difference. The only things Triple Chop has in common with the mentioned skills are the facts that it has the same damage-progression as Executioner's Strike, and it can hit more than one enemy. You might as well call it "a combination of Eviscerate and Hundred Blades, but without the Deep Wounds that Eviscerate gives or the second swing that Hundred Blades gives, and oh yes, it's an energy-skill unlike Eviscerate", that's just as vague. --Black Ark 04:49, 7 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Actually it's not very far. You've already pointed out the damage progression. Energy skill versus adrenal? Well, Cyclone Axe is energy-based, which you didn't mention. Exec's Strike is adrenal. Kinda cancels out. I do have to say the skill description is vague because it says "attack foe and adjacent foes" but it doesn't not specify whether adjacent to target or to yourself. In fact, upon further thought, I think it DOES act like cyclone axe because I have personal experience of being hit by this skill when the user was attacking someone 180 degrees from me. So yes, the combination theory makes sense. And there is the similarity drawn to Eviscerate as a combination of other non-elite skills. --Vortexsam 01:15, 13 July 2006 (CDT)
 * I admit that I exaggerated in the last bit of my paragraph, and I took the liberty of testing the differences/similarities between Cyclone Axe and Triple Chop on the Isle of the Nameless after you mentioned the way the game treats Triple Chop's view of "adjacent". You are correct in claiming that Triple Chop hits everything adjacent to the user rather than to the target, and I am willing to take the above rant back. --Black Ark 03:10, 13 July 2006 (CDT)

Bug or normal behavior
Seems that this elite works alike cyclone axe. I have found that this skills fails to hit target if the target is fleeing. I duplicated the sequence 3 times with the master of survival and all tries fail to hit. it didnt show either miss, blocked or evaded. --Arbegas
 * If they aren't there when it swings it won't hut, common sense :s &mdash; Skuld  17:24, 19 July 2006 (CDT)
 * rangers get the dodged flag, warrior's not so much.
 * executioner strike does hits if caught them with it but triple chop doesnt do it in the same fashion. --Arbegas
