Talk:Destructive Was Glaive

Wrong spell type
ANet got the type wrong, this should be item spell &mdash; Skuld 03:38, 23 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Not only that, they broke the icon convention of having a portrait framed by curtains on the icon. I'm obsessive-compulsive, so I'm really anal about these things. &mdash; [[Image:Fin_sig.gif]] kyrasantae  &#91;t |c &#93; 00:10, 27 September 2006 (CDT)
 * It's not a curtain. In japan, in funeral, the a picture of the deceased is shown with two black strips on its top corners. The picture is usally in black and white, too. Mithran 05:16, 24 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Which is a "curtain" in a different sense. In any case, perhaps this is different because Glaive was.. uhm, evil?--Silk Weaker 05:27, 24 October 2006 (CDT)
 * We had white strips at a Chinese funeral. &mdash; [[Image:Fin_sig.gif|User:Kyrasantae]] kyrasantae   23:43, 24 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Nope, this is a spell because it can be casted on allies. Ritualist use this, monk use aegis, happy damage party tonight!! Mithran 08:15, 4 December 2006 (CST)

Elite Status
I figured out why. Use it on a Dervish. Alt F Four 22:32, 25 September 2006 (CDT) Hells yea! although CoP could be used instead and save the elite slot...then you can get a form!-Onlyashadow 11:57, 26 September 2006 (CDT)

An elite designed for another primary profession in mind doesn't make me feel good. --Ufelder 02:56, 27 September 2006 (CDT)
 * There are actually a few number of spells that would otherwise work on another profession (Terra Xin 10:27, 7 October 2006 (CDT))
 * Plague Touch, for example... Shido 00:07, 25 October 2006 (CDT)

Possibly the 10 second recharge had something to do with elite status? Not like Rits have many enchantments anyway. Oh, and the huge area, that too. And that one second cast. --Khoross 05:24, 27 September 2006 (CDT)
 * I imagine that losing all enchantments is the "downside" for the skill's otherwise pretty fair power. On a dervish, the supposed negative aspect becomes a positive. Bubbinska 19:19, 28 September 2006 (CDT)
 * This is really good with Dervish though. All those enchantments that cause conditions when they end means your gonna have a target who will be suffering really badly.--Deserth 16:46, 7 October 2006 (CDT)

It's the low (compared to Cruel, anyway) cost, short cast, and very short recharge that makes this elite. I'd use it if I had a ritualist. 149.169.109.183 15:44, 29 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Interesting... a whole new use for rt as a secondary. --Tisiphone 16:53, 7 October 2006 (CDT)

Imagine the power if it were "For each enchantment lost". Destructive teams would rule the land, with 4/4 split enchant teams with dual glaivers. --Mgrinshpon 09:00, 21 October 2006 (CDT)

Glaive
Lady Glaive was a corsair leader during the second great corsair war... woo, the ashes we're using r from proper lore peeps --User:Aptaleon Griefhaven
 * The original name of this skill was Destructive was Zuuyun . It raises speculation that this skill was intended to be capped in Factions, because the name is related to Zuuyun Point. That must have obviously changed.(Terra Xin 05:07, 24 October 2006 (CDT))

Broken Skill
At this time, Destructive was Glaive does not trigger when you drop the item (but you still lose all enchantments). Instead, the skill will act as though you are still holding the ashes, and will cause the AoE effect after the damage has been dealt. Also, this item spell is acting as a targettable item spell, so you can give it to an ally, basically... funny that. (Terra Xin 22:53, 15 November 2006 (CST))


 * It does the damage when I dropped it with no enchants on today. There is a second lightning flash every time it rechages, but with no damage.  It's targetable because it's not an item spell... --Buzzer 07:20, 24 November 2006 (CST)


 * Well it could be either way around, either it's bugged and shouldn't be targettable (in which case it should have been an item spell), or it's bugged and should be targettable but not an item spell (the description is 'Hold her ashes', and just like all the other item spells, should only work on yourself).

 * I think that's what makes it cool. You can cast this on a dervish ally with 16 channeling, then he can drop the ashes and blast'm with his 16 earth prayers enchants. Drop'm at 9 seconds and throw an Ancestors Rage in there, and you've some insane damage.  --Crazytreeboy 23:59, 5 December 2006 (CST)
 * So does said ally get the ashes, or do you? That seems like a way for PvE casters to get rid of warrior idiots.  Take away their sword.Twinkie Doomcaster 03:28, 10 December 2006 (CST)
