Who needs Bestial Mauling when you have this? 213.84.230.131 08:10, 29 July 2006 (CDT)
 * The skill description uses the phrase "if this skill hits a knocked down foe" rather than the stardard "if target foe is knocked down". Is this a touch or projectile skill or is the in-game description just misleading? -- Gordon Ecker 04:45, 1 August 2006 (CDT)
 * I think it's the same
 * Judging from it's cast time, I say it's a touch skill...as all touch skills have 3/4 cast Lightblade 04:21, 24 September 2006 (CDT)

To be used in combination with Shock? ;) -- PedroPickles
 * Much, much worse, IMO - the thing I worry about this most is that it's a skill, so Spell Breaker doesn't stop it and it's very hard to interrupt (Shock is also a skill, incidentally, as is lightning touch). It also appears to be ranged, so could be a follow-up to an elementalist Gale or monk's smite knockdown signets (with something like Gale, you even have enough time to toss in some more pain on top).  Yes, Beastial Mauling is effectively the same with better times, but that requires at least 2 skills and since you can't also be IWAY, probably 3 including the heal/rez skill (and you're pretty much stuck with a pet build).  Animal companions have enough flaws in PvP to offset this being an effective shutdown and boon protect monks (including me) usually just ignore them even if they are the target of Beastial Mauling (.5 secs for RoF is a hinderance, not a shutdown, especially since it means the ranger used 1/2 his skill slots just to slow me down).
 * Yes, this looks like another case of Anet's love of bad puns/pop culture references. In fact the Paragon skills are full of them.Labmonkey 09:40, 18 September 2006 (CDT)
