Talk:Intensity

Does this skill influence damage caused by enchantments? aka Sliver Armor and Balthazar's Aura. Yamagawa 19:16, 15 June 2007 (CDT)

Those spells don't deal damage in the first place, so no. Test it if you'd like, though. I'm fairly certain I'm correct. Spen 19:28, 15 June 2007 (CDT)


 * This does work on skills such as Sliver Armor and Balthazar's Aura]]..and yes Sliver Armor does earth damage and [[Balthazar's Aura does holy damage..--76.174.118.57 22:06, 15 June 2007 (CDT)


 * Since it does not say elementalist spells I assume this can up the damage on a channeling rit nicely? --[[Image:Melandru's Shot.jpg|19px]]Enigma 20:21, 15 June 2007 (CDT)
 * That was the first thing I thought, but you only get Sunspear Skills for your primary, so it won't work.172.200.29.52 20:36, 15 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Um... no you don't. My Dervish has the Derv, War, and Sin SS skills. --Macros 20:37, 15 June 2007 (CDT)

Wow, what the heck. 20:30, 15 June 2007 (CDT)
 * It should affect all spells that deal damage. --Kale Ironfist 20:47, 15 June 2007 (CDT)

E/a shadow form nukers anyone?!? Solus  20:52, 15 June 2007 (CDT)


 * Yes, I tested this on my Mesmer and it does affect direct-damage spells like Energy Burn and Hex Eater Vortex, however not on-action skills like Empathy and Ineptitude.--

I was playing around with this and found it affects damage over time spells that have already been cast, like Fire Storm and Meteor Shower. Cast Meteor Shower, pop Intensity on before the first hit, and it'll still add the extra damage. - Desbreko 21:41, 15 June 2007 (CDT)

Considering that they are direct damage spells, ofcourse it would effect them. Solus  22:09, 15 June 2007 (CDT)
 * He said spells that have already been cast. Like with something like Serpent's Quickness, you'd expect the effect of this to only work if you cast the spell while you have this on... but apparantely, it affects things you cast before having this on, as long as it damages long enough to apply this after.--Salamandra 22:36, 15 June 2007 (CDT)

this+ Elemental Lord + Glyph of Elemental Power + Ice Spear at max water magic = spammable 100-108 damage spell. OMG!!!69.153.91.137 22:47, 15 June 2007 (CDT)

This effect spells that ignore amor/ cause life loss? Like blood spells i mean. -Kumdori 23:30, 15 June 2007 (CDT)

spiteful spirit + this might = pwnage - Skakid9090 23:46, 15 June 2007 (CDT)


 * The two comments before me: "Yes, I tested this on my Mesmer and it does affect direct-damage spells like Energy Burn and Hex Eater Vortex, however not on-action skills like Empathy and Ineptitude. - Luigi". I actually did the same thing as him and can confirm it works on armor-ignorers like Energy Burn, but doesn't work with Empathy damage.  I'd assume it doesn't apply with SS damage either, then.--Mafaraxas 03:39, 16 June 2007 (CDT)

Clearly, this skill works on every spell that can be boosted with lightbringer ranks. --Ckal Ktak 05:50, 16 June 2007 (CDT)

I use intensity+glaive on my channeling rit to bring back the short but sweet days of 'totally busted glaive'. lol --RedFeather 06:10, 16 June 2007 (CDT)

Just tested and it doesn't work on Strength of Honor. I wonder if it works on IW though. —[ Adul ] 03:47, 18 June 2007 (CDT)

Hex spells like soul barbs for example says it deals DAMAGE when it triggers and thus could easily be confused for triggering with this skill so please leave the not working on hexes up

SOJ
Does this affect shield of judgment? It affects balth aura which is and enchant doing direct dmg, as well as sliver armor, which is conditional (on hit) direct damage. If so. 55s just got a ridiculous buff. 53*1.25 ~ 66 damage. It affects Sliver?!?! W00t! Solus  05:15, 17 June 2007 (CDT)

Progression
Do we need data of this kind ?



! Rank || Title || Skill effectiveness:
 * - align="center" valign="top"
 * - align="center"
 * 1 || Sunspear Sergeant ||
 * - align="center"
 * 2 || Sunspear Master Sergeant ||

 * 9 || Spearmarshal || 24%
 * - align="center"
 * 10 || Legendary Spearmarshal (Max Level) || 25%
 * }

Why is this listed For 15 seconds, your Spells deal 15...23% more damage. when in fact it goes up to 25%?
 * You don't seriously think that do you? Go have a look at every other skill in the game. --Kale Ironfist 05:24, 17 June 2007 (CDT)
 * He has a credible arguement, but if I'm not mistaken you are taking it with a skill progression similar to normal skills, which is 0 to whatever the highest skill rank can be achieved under ordinary circumstances (no runes, normal mode, etc.) am I correct? Matrim [[Image:Squirrel crossbow.png]] 15:50, 17 June 2007 (CDT)
 * I'd say what he said made sense, because with other skills, the max attribute you can get without 'buffing' is 12. But I can't really see why rank 9 and 10 are considered 'buffing' here. Can be that it's because they are only accessible in HM. Still, it's strange. —[ Adul ] 15:54, 17 June 2007 (CDT)
 * No it isn't. In normal mode you can only reach castellan, which in normal mode is the title maxed. Therefore, they make the progression go up to that, like with the normal attribute scale. Since you can improve attributes by headgear and runes, this one's bonus is gotten in hard mode from getting the extra sunspear points. So it's not strange at all. 80.193.19.209 15:09, 18 June 2007 (CDT)
