Talk:Signet

Is "mana" an official term in GuildWars? I don't think so. This is WoW terminology. In GW it is simply called "energy". --Tetris L 01:42, 20 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * 1) Actually mana isn't WoW terminoloy, it was invented and used LONG before WoW. DarkNecrid 20:46, 8 October 2006 (CDT)

A signet is not a horse. this skill type is not that special
Ollj wrote: "a signet is not a horse!, who cares!" <- What are you trying to say? That it isn't important that a signet is not a spell? I guess a Mesmer sees that a little different after his Backfire has been swept away by a Purge Signet. --Tetris L 05:42, 20 Aug 2005 (EST)

Mentioning that one skil type is different from another skill type is just too trivial: There is enough skills that target signets to make signets just as interestring as any other skill type. --Ollj 06:16, 20 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * A signet is not a spell. its not targetet by skills that target spells.
 * A spell is not a signet, its not targeted by skills that target signets.
 * have fun comparing all skill types to each other that way, its just too trivial.


 * This is not as trivial as you might think. I'm sure a lot of beginners will think that spell is a general term that is equivalent to skill. We should point out the difference, and one of the places where I think it is appropriate to point out the difference is here. --Tetris L 15:40, 20 Aug 2005 (EST)


 * I really like the 'Related Skills' section. Although it is a tad subjective - I personally would not list Diversion as a spell that affects signets, as it has a far more general use. 148.177.129.213 01:00, 12 Oct 2005 (EST)
 * I suppose it's unusual in that it actually affects signets, since not much does. However, as long as there's a note in Diversion's writeup that it affects signets, then I suppose it doesn't need to be reiterated here.

Trivial Question
Is it pronounced SiGnet or (with a french touch) Sinyet? --Karlos 10:12, 12 Oct 2005 (EST)
 * In English, I believe this URL is correct (http://www.answers.com/topic/signet) -- Serps 14:07, 14 Oct 2005 (EST)
 * Thanx, just read it today. :) --Karlos 13:05, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Skills that are Signets
I put in a section called "List of Signets" to showcase the category listing so that it stands out. I think it is better English than "Skills that are Signets." --Karlos 10:15, 12 Oct 2005 (EST)

Recent Edit
Is this true? Signets that are linked to a specific attribute are not affected by recharge/cast speed bonuses? --Karlos 13:04, 23 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Think so. I never tested recharge, but you'll never get a fast cast on a signet.  --Fyren 14:22, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

GW Lore
I had read that in the trivia section somewhere a long time ago but can't remember where exactly that skills are actually rings worn on each finger, hence 8 skills. I'm not sure of this was a valid source but seeing it in the trivia section reminds me of that. If it is directly from GW, could someone who me where? Lost-Blue 00:18, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure I read it it the first GW manual, but I'll double check.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]Entrea Sumatae  [Talk]  00:19, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, I thought it was in there but I can't seem to find it. May as well RV my edit.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]Entrea Sumatae  [Talk]  00:22, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I know Iv'e seen it somewhere officially, I should check all Pro and Pre uests and the skillz page Lost-Blue 00:27, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * There was a link on the Skill bar page to an "official explanation" on manual.guildwars.com -- the link doesn't seem to work any more, so Aratak removed it. It's there in the page history. Diligence 12:36, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I found a history article about it on the (bleah) official wiki. Gww:Skill Gem has all the stuff about it, if not their sources.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]Entrea  [Talk]  02:42, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
 * The one problem with GWiki as documentation source is that we don't keep historical notes like that - don't know why exactly, but that has been the norm for longest time. So things like this we can't deal with. I was equally surprised when I first found that page on GWW. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 02:48, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, even if the system changed, the lore (skills=rings) is still valid. That page just serves as confirmation it is part of the lore, not mass hallucination.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]Entrea  [Talk]  02:55, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
 * A part of lore best ignored, trying to explain abstract game mechanic with lore is bad. BAAAD! 193.44.6.146 22:53, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
