Talk:Ebon Dust Aura

This + a multi-target attack like Crude Swing or Cyclone Axe = area-effect blind? &mdash; 130.58 (talk) 00:39, 31 October 2006 (CST)

This on an interrupt ranger makes for a decent alternative to a blind spammer. You can spam blind just as easily, only instead of damage you interrupt. So.. tit for tat, I guess, but works decently with an apply poison and focused shot thrown in. --Crazytreeboy 20:27, 31 October 2006 (CST)

Anyone found a cap location yet? --Angelo

I can tell you this much about what boss has this, It's a plant boss. Know this cause if u watch the dervish plants (think the called enchanted vines or something) they use this skill, and so far, each proffession of each species only has 1 elite skil they share.

taken from article page
Unknown Outside of Yahnur Market is a normal plant enemy that seems to use this elite. There may be the boss on this map? (I've looked almost everywhere in that area, except the beach. Only other reason is that there are more bosses than spawn locations.) Xeon 23:18, 6 November 2006 (CST)

Oh ya, soz, knew we shouldn't have a ciscussion there, any way. The beach part was me, but I realise now that the area the other guy was talking about has no beach, i was talking about the area just north where the holdings are.

Unseen Dust
Assassin with Unseen Fury and this with an earth weapon could deal some damage. --Angelo
 * Was thinking the same thing. It's a shame, whenever I think I have a clever idea, somebody else as faster ;) DeepSearch 09:10, 24 November 2006 (CST)

Well i never knew this skill was so rare i happene to spot it outside basalt grotto while exploring the mines areas... i never even bothered to take a look at it cause i am a warrior... so dont ask me the name of the boss... i saw if it in an around vabbi....i am not sure if it was a random spaw...

Source of Update?
Can anyone link us to where it says it will be added in December, or is this just speculation -Zak

Reference please
Without a reference link to a developer statement, I'm assuming that it's speculation. I would like a solid reference to the statement that the boss which has Ebon Dust Aura will be included in the December content release, please. A link to a log of "Gailechat" or an official statement from a developer would be most appropriate.

We NEED to figure out the boss that has this man, it's potentially the best farming skill evar!


 * The skill's available in PvP and it's available on heroes in PvE. If the boss for it has been omitted it's almost certainly a bug, and, once that bug has been verified, I don't see why they would wait another month and a half instead of adding a boss (or putting it on an existing boss with a duplicate elite) at the next opportunity like they did with Crippling Slash, Extend Conditions and Hidden Caltrops. Has anyone cleared out Wilderness of Bahdza after completing the quest chain? -- Gordon Ecker 02:38, 16 November 2006 (CST)

It's missing, they'll add it in the next xmas update I've heard &mdash; Skuld 02:53, 16 November 2006 (CST)

The funniest part is the update that added the other elites created dupes of some boss spawns in the Vabbi regions (like Ether Lord in Mirror of Lyss) but didn't add this elite - Former Ruling 00:44, 17 November 2006 (CST)

Ether lord isn't an elite >.>; 67.20.226.28 14:05, 18 November 2006 (CST)

Boss, not skill. --Silk Weaker 13:28, 26 November 2006 (CST)

As per Gaile on Nov 18th, Ebon Dust Aura is infact missing from the game right now. It was supposed to bee put into play when the other missing elites (crippling slash, etc) were added, but someone forgot. The current expectation is that it will make it into the game in an update ANet expects to make in the early to middle part of next week, just before US Thanksgiving.

Here's her exact message: --- Hey, guys,

If you are one of the folks with whom I was talking last week during an in-game visit, here's the latest on the Case of the Missing Elite: Through an oversight, the Ebon Dust Aura did not make it into the game. When I asked about it, I was given to understand it was incorporated back on the 10th. However, Ebon Dust Aura is not in the game at all. (A case of the players knowing a bit more than the devs, in this instance. )

Thank you for pointing that out, and for remaining courteous while I checked into the matter. The Elite will be added in an update that we expect to make in the early to middle part of next week. (Before Thanksgiving, for your Americans.) --- dargon 02:32, 19 November 2006 (CST)

Boss Location

Which comes first?
If i have this on with an earth wep, and I use, let's say Screaming shot on an enemy withing hearing distance, which is applied first? Bleeding or Blindness? Baron 18:05, 9 December 2006 (CST)
 * Can't test right now, but I would assume, based on the behavior of apply poison, that the blind would cover the bleeding. --67.169.91.223 18:08, 9 December 2006 (CST)
