Talk:Quivering Blade

Sun, the Quivering (i think) in Wajjun Bazaar used this, level 24 warrior Amh boss -Iiowyn

Unfortunately the dazed effect doesn't last long at all. Otherwise, Quivering Blade blocked by guardian, then plague touch the dazed condition = gg prot monk.
 * Thanks to the update, those lovely guardian spamming boon prots are going to get about 6-7 seconds of Dazed. GL&HF :-) 85.71.221.70 03:07, 14 July 2006 (CDT)
 * don't forget ot throw in your silencing weapon, giving them a 10 second dazed. {lengtens on creation, then again on transfer,}

There is no silencing sword modifier.-Onlyashadow 10:31, 22 August 2006 (CDT)
 * You can still swap to one for Plague Touch or Plague Sending. -- Gordon Ecker 04:02, 20 September 2006 (CDT)

Quivering Blade (Item)
How do I create a new page with this title, since I found a green called Quivering Blade from Sun, the Quivering.
 * Already at Quivering Blade (weapon). --68.142.14.33 03:08, 14 July 2006 (CDT)

usage
do not use it one the am fah assassins where you cap the skill, they will just block your attack  ><
 * Plague Touch. --NYC Elite 20:00, 27 April 2007 (CDT)

Use it with a skill that makes your next attack(s) unblockable (Guiding Hands)

silencing
There is no silencing sword mod, and since this can not be activated without a sword, why is the note back? If I were to switch to a bow before using plague touch, it takes about 2 seconds to switch weapons, not to mention the time it takes you to react to the fact that your attack was blocked, and then the 3/4 seconds it takes to cast plague touch. you end up losing over a third of your daze time, therefore the benefit of swapping to a silencing weapon is lost. Does ANYone else agree?-- Thelordofblah 15:07, 18 June 2007 (CDT)
 * how does it take 2 seconds to weapon switch.....Lord of all tyria 15:16, 18 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Try it, start attacking and then switch, theres a delay.-- Thelordofblah 17:33, 18 June 2007 (CDT)
 * It takes less than half a second to switch, perhaps less than a third of a second. If you do it while attacking, it's delayed till your current swing's "cooldown" is over.  --Fyren 22:47, 18 June 2007 (CDT)
 * ok... so isnt that like exactly what I said?-- Thelordofblah 01:58, 19 June 2007 (CDT)
 * "It takes about 2 seconds to switch weapons." --Fyren 03:17, 19 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Alright, well its AT LEAST 1 second of a delay, whatever it is, it for sure doesnt look like a third of a second if you click the weapon set while attacking. Regardless, it doesnt look like it adds up to a whole lot of extra dazed time, and seems highly impractical.-- Thelordofblah 03:30, 19 June 2007 (CDT)

Icon sword
Too bad theres no sword that looks like the sword in the icon :(. Looks so cool imo. Jahora 00:01, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

--Crenalated sword?
 * I think it's a mix between crenellated and a Vertebreaker. Silver40596

Why is this skill so underused?
Ok I just want some oppinions about this, but this is what I thought of: Now am I missing some things? Because writing this I'd guess there should be reasons to use Quivering Blade in certain pressure builds, damage wise and condition wise Shai Meliamne 22:26, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * +It is a 4 adrenaline Executioner's Strike (which costs 8 adrenaline normally), which should make this a great pressure skill
 * +It will apply the dazed condition punishing casters when being blocked
 * -When being blocked this attack will have to recharge for 4 seconds, meaning no adrenaline gain on this skill for 4 seconds
 * Dragon Slash is probably better at pressuring as it is basically a 5 adrenaline skill while also boosting the other adrenaline skills
 * Currently there is no silencing mod for sword (which I think sux btw as there are multiple warrior dazing skillz) so Quivering will not be all that effective
 * It will only apply Dazed to you. You have to transfer it to daze a caster, and even so, the daze duration is kinda short. --Shadowcrest  22:29, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Shadow hit the point right on the nose. But I don't feel that this skill is underused.  If I am running sword, I am either using Dragon Slash or this.  It all depends on the situation.  If I know I am going to be blocked alot, I won't bother trying to bring this.  But if I know that my attacks mostly wont be blocked, this has great damage output coupled with its adrenaline cost.  -- [[Image:Isk8.png]] User:Isk8  (T / C)  22:32, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Don't forget that applying Daze will interrupt any spell being cast- that means taking this with Plague Touch will give you a cheap fairly fast interrupt, regardless of the duration. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 22:37, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Buff
Who agrees?-- Taki Fujiko  10:44, 8 May 2008 (UTC)


 * That would be awesome :) --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage 10:58, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * That would own so much. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 11:03, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * That would be so stupid. 145.53.14.162 11:51, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Shame this is elite and you cant combine it with contagion... :/

update
Sucks now. W/N with Plague Touch and a Silencing mod made this a viable skill. If I'm going to hit a moving foe, I'd rather use Bull's Strike or Protector's Strike...they are Energy skills so they are ready to use when I need them. (T/C) 03:15, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

You'll have to point me out when you have seen a Silencing Sword mod cuz I never did... and changing weapons = failure XD Big Bow 04:15, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Was thinking of Headbutt :\ Nevermind, this skill is about as crappy as always. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 04:31, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, a moving opponent doesn't need to care about Daze anyway. It can only be applied by this skill when it can't interrupt anything, making the initial application worthless. And the duration is too short to do much good either. However, this is the only adrenal application of Daze besides Skull Crack. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 04:34, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
