Talk:Unsuspecting Strike

The damage range and progression for the initial bonus damage on this skill are wrong. The range is +19...29, not +1...25. Unfortuantely, I don't have a primary Assassin character (no critical strikes stat), so I can't test the damage progression, and therefore can't reliably edit the progression table. Could someone please update this page with the correct info?
 * Blah, sigh, that means someone simply interpolated and extrapolated all the progression from 1 to 17 (or there was a change to this skill since the progression table was created, and no one updated it). - 14:13, 16 June 2006 (CDT)

Proposed Usage
I want to see the damage on this thing &mdash; Skuld 10:40, 14 September 2006 (CDT) No, I wanna see someone live through this^-Onlyashadow 10:44, 14 September 2006 (CDT) Skuld, yours may be more "Feasible" but lets be honest, 7 hit combo is secks.-Onlyashadow 10:45, 14 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Lol 7 hit combo? :p I'm trying 15 criticals and 12 daggers, 9 shadow arts, I think higher criticals will be better bcos of 2/3 skills being critical linked &mdash; Skuld 10:53, 14 September 2006 (CDT)

I see no reason not to use wild strike. Both 4 recharge + insane damage.

conditional damage
I have a question about conditional damage. Is "> 90% HP" the only condition when it is applied? I was trying to farm Xuekao, the Deceptive with my friend today and there was an episode when we aggroed him way too early (before we killed the last Ranger). Situation was clearly not in our favor and I was trying to run away but he killed me with Unsuspecting Strike. The thing that surprised me was that I saw "-119 (Unsuspecting Strike)" line floating in the air. 119 damage on my 70 armor assassin... I'm pretty sure I'm not mistaken about it. So, I have 3 ideas about it: 1. monsters always score coditional damage 2. it was a critical (may be criticals) 3. bug

 * Not only that, but it was also a critical hit (striking a fleeing foe in melee). 220.233.103.77 01:31, 6 October 2006 (CDT)

Sin Spike
So one sin packs this skill for a starter 100 damage, then 3 others pack Desperate Strike for 240 damage, and then Wild Strike as a followup for 216 damage equalling 556 damage. Eh, it might work, but sins might be too weak to work with also. (T/C) 01:41, 6 October 2006 (CDT)
