Talk:Bladed Aatxe

What species/category to put these in? "Demons"? --Eightyfour-onesevenfive 02:08, 7 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * I'd say they are "Nightmares". --Tetris L 02:32, 7 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * Nightmares are something completely different. Only thing they have in common is that they are black and have glowing eyes. :) --Eightyfour-onesevenfive 02:57, 7 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * The actual model is a minotaur with extra horns/spiky things, but that's a poor choice. So I'd say their own category, unless there's something in the fissure that's similar, so they can be grouped?  I'd probably choose "aatxe" over "demon" for their category if there's nothing else.  --Fyren 03:59, 7 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * I had some major problems sorting these categories in Creatures. As you can see, I called some "Ghosts" and others "Nightmares / Shadows". Both these categories spawn out of nowhere and leave no boddies behind. Actually "Nighmares" are easy, because they have a distinct look. But "Ghosts" and "Shadows" blend into eachother. --Tetris L 04:33, 7 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * I would call them "Demons" for now, cause they look like mean Demons and because "Demons" is what I Think they are (they are not undead and they are not ghosts) and Demons has room for them and Mragga too. :) --Karlos 10:28, 7 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * And of course because they drop Demon poop! :) I knew there was a more convincing reason! :) --Karlos 20:27, 7 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * Well, if we go for this, we must put Smite Crawlers into "Phantoms", as they drop Phantom Residue. ;) But "Demons" it is for now, until someone has a better idea. --Eightyfour-onesevenfive 20:48, 7 Sep 2005 (EST)

Origin of name and pronunciation
Does anyone have any idea where does the name come from? what is "Aatxe"? did someone let his cat walk on the keyboard? how would you pronounce it? I would say is as At-kse, or At-ex or maybe Ey-t-ch. 02:36, 17 March 2006 (CST)


 * Aatxe. &mdash; Stabber 02:37, 17 March 2006 (CST)


 * "He attacks criminals and other mean people" ?? then why us? what did we do wrong?! 02:39, 17 March 2006 (CST)


 * That entry in Wikipedia does not seem as accurate as this one. No clue how to pronounce it, I say it "attax" but I am not a native speaker. --Karlos 10:09, 17 March 2006 (CST)


 * They say it's Basque, so I think that would make the 'x' a 'ch' kind of sound. 66.92.67.101

I call it aah-tarx, no basis to calling it that though =p my rother calls it aah-tarx-y

Dazed
The recent contribution has me perplexed. I use to solo farm UW, but not for some while. Has ANet added Skull Crack to the Bladed Aatxe's skillset? --Gares Redstorm 14:37, 2 June 2006 (CDT)
 * I can verify this and I am pretty surprised as well. I have been farming recently the past 2 months or so and then stopped for a while. When I got back to farming UW in a 2-man this past week, I noticed this was new as well. Or seemed new at least to me. --Vortexsam 15:39, 2 June 2006 (CDT)
 * I solo UW often and I think that he must have been hit by a grasping darkness and he taugh that it was the Aatxe use that skill. I solo some just to check and in 15 aatxes and none have use that attack on me.--Aratak 18:53, 4 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Unless someone come up with a screenshot of an Aatxe using Scull Crack, Ill bet my money on he got hit by a Grasping Darkness. So ill change it back until someone proves me otherwise.--Aratak 11:49, 6 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Agreed with the screenshot. I honestly don't understand how someone can mistake Skull Crack with Distracting Blow though. Being interrupted is one thing, but being dazed is a totally different matter all together. --Gares Redstorm 13:04, 6 June 2006 (CDT)
