Talk:Shroud of Silence

This seems a tad weak. An elite version of Blackout that disables your skills for three times as long.--Spawn 10:07, 30 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Not really, it only disables your spells. So you can still attack with skills. Assassin Spells are few and far between where an elementalist is most likely running ALL spells. --Draygo Korvan (Yap) 10:13, 30 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Try facing the Thorn Wolves who use it. They are brutal. Silence the monk, chop up the ele. End of story. --Karlos 11:52, 30 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Contemp ftw. &mdash; Rapta  [[image:Rapta_Icon1.gif|19px]] (talk|contribs) 19:03, 5 August 2006 (CDT)


 * Contempt you mean ^^ gaze of contempt then this *grin* Oh wait even better, this then expunge enchants, since your spells are already recharging. So.. arcane echo, expunge, and after disable ends shroud again :)(Not a fifty five 03:53, 21 September 2006 (CDT))


 * If you use a non-spell after AE you lose AE. Also, Rapta did mean contem.  Contemplation of purity, to remove this hex.  --Fyren 03:59, 21 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Oh I know he meant contemplation :P. And I just wordered the wrong, arcane, shroud, expunge etc. (Not a fifty five 08:21, 21 September 2006 (CDT))


 * Actually, if you used gaze of contempt, then this, you couldn't remove this hex with contemplation of purity.--[[image:Windjammer Icon1.jpg|15px]] Windjammer 00:42, 8 January 2007 (CST)
 * I think he was talking about a combo Gaze of Contempt + Shroud of Silence.Alea 19:55, 19 August 2007 (CDT)

shouts and silence...
Just makes me wonder... How comes shouts are not affected by silence.
 * BECAUSE...uhh it's a shroud therefore... crap, IDK. Check out Aeson for a similiar case.-Onlyashadow 08:31, 21 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Because Shroud of Silence disables only SPELLS. --Nyc Elite 12:06, 3 January 2007 (CST)
 * He means that considering the name, they should be disabled by this.--Devils Apprentice 19:57, 25 January 2007 (CST)

mesmers?
I don't get this: "If used with an A/Me or Me/A, you can take advantage of the fact that it does not disable signets or attacks.". Why mesmers in particular? Whichever the other class is, the character can still use attacks, signets, shouts, preparations, chants, echoes, traps, stances, rituals, glyphs and forms - anything on his skillbar thad does not say spell. I can understand that it's mostly useless for elementalists and necros, who are very much dependant on spells, but what's wrong with A/R with some Tiger's Fury, or A/W with "Watch Yourself!"? - Amadan 03:18, 22 September 2006 (CDT)


 * ) I would say blackout. These two go very well together.  Shroud someone.  Then blackout another, since all your spells are  already  disabled.  Shroud expunge blackout *cackle* (Not a fifty five 03:28, 22 September 2006 (CDT))


 * Removed the note since the general aspect of it was a little too obvious and the Me/A and A/Me thing as mentioned was strange. --Fyren 03:47, 22 September 2006 (CDT)

Skill Icon
Anyone else see someone vomiting?--Salamandra 20:02, 14 May 2007 (CDT)
 * I can see where you get vomit but I'm pretty sure it's a cloth or maybe even a shroud over someones mouth to keep them silent :P  Marin Bloodbane  ( Talk ) 11:18, 28 May 2007 (CDT)

Good Skill
Great for spikes in TA. GG Readem (talk *contribs )
 * Man this skill kills in RA. Shut down the monk and rip up the team. Any other arena this doesnt work as well, as you'll probably have more than one monk, but in RA with generally one monk per group this skill is godly...-70.23.85.212 03:01, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Nerf
1...3 seconds? WTF? This was one of my favourite skills, and now it'a almost as good as a non-elite skill... I reeeally hope they lower the recharge...
 * Yeah...this skill was good, not overpowered. Intensegandalf 20:26, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

-- Taki Fujiko  20:30, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Ahh taki you should calm down. Anet may change it back after further testing. Intensegandalf 20:38, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Well you should know that I bought GW:EN today after careful thinking for about 1 month (I'm not very rich), just to receive a huge slap in my face by ANet as a reward for buying their addon.--[[Image:Takisig.jpg]] Taki Fujiko  20:42, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
