Talk:Fingers of Chaos

Section 0
I just went to take a quick look and I don't f...ing believe this! Are they serious with this skill?! That is a verbatim transscript of the skill description by the way (from screenshot from skill monitor). This is freaking nuts! 8-[] --Eightyfour-onesevenfive 16:54, 19 January 2006 (UTC)


 * This is th "No you're not soloing this area" skill :) --Karlos 20:53, 19 January 2006 (UTC)


 * It's also for 5 seconds and probably has around a 30 second recharge time. Personally I have found the energy burn from all the mesmers in the ruined tombs to be more of a problem than Fingers of Chaos. --Ravious

It's been tested that rangers can "block" attacks from monsters using this skill (e.g., using Whirling Defense), but what about "evade" (e.g., by using Escape)? Does it just apply to things such as blindness and Price of Failure, where you would actually see "missed" pop up? --Herbal Tea 16:51, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
 * A successful evade leads to a "miss", not "evaded". Thus it is my believe that evasion will not work on Fingers of Chaos.  Afterall, it's designed specifically for rangers, and rangers got a lot more evasion skills than blind or hexes... -PanSola 00:46, 12 February 2006 (CST)
 * I just tested it with the Whiptail Devourers in Old Ascalon and it shows "evade," not "miss." --Herbal Tea 06:45, 25 February 2006 (CST)
 * Hmm, my mistake. In which case, this should be tested out indeed. -PanSola 04:09, 26 February 2006 (CST)
 * IME FoC hits rangers in Whirling Defense. I would like to know who tested and found it does work. UrbalT? Incidentally, this is why I thought that Guardian and Aegis would also have no effect on them, but my brief experiments a few days back seemed to show that they do work. They should have said "always hits" instead of "cannot miss". &mdash; Stabber 04:16, 26 February 2006 (CST)

To Karlos: you can solo this area...84.87.168.39 09:12, 30 December 2006 (CST)

is it ok to add a redirect?
I typed "Finger of Chaos" into search box, the search didn't even have the right article show up as a search result. It took me a few tries (checking my spelling of Finger, Chaos, of), until I finally tried "Fingers". I know usually we don't redirect for plural/singular or minor spelling issues, but this one really confused me. - 07:19, 29 May 2006 (CDT)

Assasine
I heard from some Assasines they got blinded from the Finger of Chaos
 * They would be secondary Warriors, I suspect. - 17:41, 30 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Just to state it, fingers had no effect on my A/Rt, as expected. --68.142.14.71 18:38, 30 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Yeah, so really, playing as an Assassin, Ritualist, Dervish, or Paragon is a way to laugh at FoC :) LavaEdge324 17:19, 13 December 2006 (CST)
 * Or you could go old school and play a mesmer...&mdash;Aranth 22:50, 8 January 2007 (CST)

Evade
"This skill only ignores evasion effects on rangers. A ranger can still block the attack and blind works as normal." Now that Evasion has been removed from the game does this ignore the chance to block, or does it have no effect at all?--Thelordofblah 21:50, 20 January 2007 (CST)
 * Considering the revert, this is moot right now, but all skills that made reference to evasion - causing it, ignoring it, or being triggered by it - instead made reference to blocking. So, in short, it would just ignore blocking.
 * I may have missed something in the chaos (pun! pun!) of the battle, but I tried using Whirling Defense while doing Sunspears in Cantha and the grasps seemed unable to hit me. Will test again carefully in the ruins. But even if this is the case, I'm sure this will be fixed as soon as Anet "doh!"s.--Ishmaeel 04:48, 7 March 2007 (CST)
