Talk:Glimmering Mark

My glimer mark lasts for 17 seconds. Is the information here wrong?
 * What is your Air Magic at? High enough it might last 17 seconds.  --Rainith 01:08, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
 * At 16 Air Magic it lasts 17 seconds. The 1...13 is from 0 Air Magic to 12 Air Magic. VegaObscura 07:28, 22 January 2007 (CST)

Birth and Death
Blinding Surge killed this spell. 213.84.230.131 11:30, 30 December 2006 (CST)
 * This skill was born? &mdash; Skuld 13:19, 30 December 2006 (CST)
 * It's the daughter of Fevered Dreams and Blinding Flash.
 * More like Epidemic and Blinding Flash. Tycn 20:58, 6 January 2007 (CST)
 * I'm more inclined to agree with Fevered Dreams as the father, since it's also a hex. Just my thoughts, though, both combos are identical. Entropy 21:01, 6 January 2007 (CST)

Even Ebon Dust Aura is better than this...--Rickyvantof 17:00, 22 March 2007 (CDT)
 * A melee type using a lightning weapon mod need only tag their primary target with this skill and they could tank a huge mob. A ranger might enjoy 75% evasion of attacks when mobbed, but blindness yield 90%, altogether a melee type could enjoy 18 seconds of near immunity to melee attacks from just 1 casting of this.


 * Of both blinding surge and Ebon Dust aura as previously suggested,Ebon Dust aura only effects the target immediatly hit, while blinding surge requires the target be enchanted, all 3 skills are elites - I'm gonna give this a try on my warrior and see how it goes =3 --85.62.18.3 19:44, 20 July 2007 (CDT)


 * They both have their uses. This can blind more than 3 monsters at a time. I'm thinkin- Ele farming build with AoE lightning spells if they exist. If not, D/E with a shocking scythe of enchanting. Perfect most anything melee farmer. --Mgrinshpon 22:22, 9 May 2007 (CDT)
 * You only have to hit one foe to blind them if they're melee fighters. ;)-- [[Image:CorCaspianSig.jpg]]CorCaspian 14:50, 14 November 2007 (UTC)


 * No, this elite is terrybad. 5 October 2007


 * This elite only requier a single lightning damage to cause blindness, which can be reapply very easily. Ebon Dust Aura can only blind the foe you hit, normally one ( although you can have a Volley Bow or a Scythe). Blinding surge, well, usually only one foe each time since a physical attacker normally don't have enchantments on themselves.-- [[Image:CorCaspianSig.jpg]]CorCaspian 14:50, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

O Rly?
"The skill icon for Glimmering Mark resembles the medieval alchemical symbol for the element phosphorus." It does? Because I really don't see it. In fact, it doesn't really look close enough to any of them to draw a direct link to them. Sure it's similar in style to the general makeup of Alchemical symbols, but it doesn't really resemble any of them. In other words, maybe it's not a reference?-- Goteki-45  15:32, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Grenth's grasp
Why is grenth's grasp there? (and ebon dust aura), doing elemental damage and causing a condtion is sorta alike I guess but it's an enchanment not a hex like mark of rodgort. Lost-Blue 03:05, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Agreed, doesn't belong there. Removing.81.68.90.181 15:15, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The behavior of the skill is much more like spinal shivers/shivers of dread than ebon dust aura. On, foe gets a . Rette Alarix 15:52, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

update
No armour penetration and no stacking makes this a sad skill. (T/C) 02:04, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Dispite the Discription of this spell, Skills in general targetting an opponent make it end, not just spells. If not for this glitch I believe this could be good with attack skills. If it is fixed It should have good potential.--NukeFishy 02:18, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Confirmed. ANet has forgotten this a couple times it seems, first Hexer's Vigor, then this? Ah well, auto-attack doesn't break it. Xaerth 03:02, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

This does roughly the same damage as -8 degen over 10 seconds. On a 60Al target, at 15 Air. That's not so great at all. (T/C) 04:20, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * aww it looked so cool... :( Roland Cyerni 04:21, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

I know more armor will make it less awesome, but I believe it's actually -12.5 degen (at 15 Air, 25/2?). And it stacks. --Xaerth 04:25, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * so the only way to use it is to couple it with degen prssure, when its really good, otherwise its really bad... hrmm now why did they change this [] Roland Cyerni 04:29, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
