Talk:Defy Pain

Is it really usefull to keep the 17 to 19 strength values with "N/A" associated with them since I believe it is impossible to reach such strength values ? I would rather delete them, the article would be clearer. And I think the same goes for all skill-related articles. But that is just my humble opinion. --Funky Jah 10:48, 25 November 2006 (CST)
 * 12+3+1 plus glyph of elemental power/awaken the blood + +1 shield/focus. It's possible to have them on blood, curses and elemental. (also most caster stuff can be pushed to 17 with 12+3+1 +1 shield/focus) 23:05, 22 February 2006 (CST)

Shield's have +1 20%'s and the res shrines give +1 to all attributes blessings, so 17 is easy to get, and 18 is possible, and as told above, glyph elem pow/atb and a +1 from offhand and +1 from shrines.. 20! --Angelo

Anyone else think this skill is still useless, even with the March 2nd buff? 69.124.143.230 15:28, 3 March 2006 (CST)
 * No, because I have and do use it.. 15:34, 3 March 2006 (CST)
 * it doesn't hurt that it's instant, can't be interrupted or stripped, is generally maintainable (unlike Endure Pain) and provides some extra armor - all nice for tanking. --Falseprophet 15:01, 28 March 2007 (CDT)


 * For what could this skill possibly be worth a potential Elite slot? Care to share your build?  69.124.143.230 03:25, 4 March 2006 (CST)

Not mine, got it off guildwarsguru 01:27, 6 March 2006 (CST)
 * it's even more powerful after the 2/3 update, ripostes do more damage and liv vic heals for more ;p 01:29, 6 March 2006 (CST)
 * That's don't feel no pain's Hydra farming build, right? Defy Pain is great in it, since you can usually keep it up at all times. --chrislee149 01:33, 6 March 2006 (CST)

related skills related?
Are all these skills that related? I cant go over them atm because im doing something else but could someone else have a look. Xeon 21:55, 10 December 2006 (CST)
 * Well, they all boost your total hp except "Watch Yourself!", which is like Defy Pain in that it's an adrenal armor boost. I agree with Skuld's tweak, which was to remove all but the warrior ones. Endure Pain and Signet of Stamina are obviously related, and "Watch Yourself!" is pretty close, too. &mdash; 130.58 (talk) 21:57, 10 December 2006 (CST)

it has the coolest icon at least:P

A chunk of his torso is missing, ouch. The Hobo 22:04, 27 April 2007 (CDT)
 * The icon is reminiscent of The Fellowship of the Ring movie, heheh.--Mafaraxas 04:14, 4 June 2007 (CDT)

Trivia
I think it looks like Boromir in his last scene in the Lord of the Rings books/movies. With all the arrows sticking out of him. Also, the skills sounds alot like what he did. Thoughts?72.75.10.75 05:52, 13 July 2007 (CDT)
 * I'm not sure, but boromir didn't "Defy Pain" he died very quick when the arrows shot in his back/belly. &mdash; Shady Guy  [[Image:shadyguysig.gif|19px]] 07:10, 13 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Very weak link. --Ufelder 07:21, 13 July 2007 (CDT)
 * If I remember the movie right, he killed all the orcs, which includes the guy shooting arrows into him, and only died after Aragorn found him. Meh, it's been a long time since I've seen LotD, but it's the first thing that popped into my head.71.252.98.132 12:15, 16 July 2007 (CDT)
