Talk:Glyph of Elemental Power

Too many repetitive notes
Not directly related to this article, but I can't think of a better place to put this &mdash; why does every article on elemental spells have the "the linked attribute can be increased by 2 temporarily" note? We don't note every Blood and Curses skill with "the linked attribute can be increased by 2 with Awaken the Blood", nor do we note every spell article with "the cost of this spell can be reduced by 15 using Glyph of Lesser Energy". There is too much cross-pollination of effects of skills to ever do a good job of noting all interactions. Therefore, I say we note only the surprising interactions, and leave the obvious ones to player ingenuity. (Sorry, I'm in a gripeful mood today.) &mdash; Stabber (talk) 21:53, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

I agree wholeheartedly, and in fact would like to submit the opinion that there are no "surprising" ones (it affects every single skill under the Earth, Air, Water, and Fire categories, and no other skills besides that). 149.169.88.9


 * Also agreed. I suggest linking this on GuildWiki talk:Style and formatting/Skills to make sure it gets proper exposure. &mdash;Tanaric 02:08, 2 December 2005 (UTC)


 * I agree too. It's also not a very useful Glyph most of the time in my opinion. Just do the math, if you use it before say Lightning Orb you get +12 dmg, for the same energy cost and duration you could have casted Lightning Strike and gotten 53 dmg. --Karlos 10:40, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Its better for enchantments than 1 off spells 00:29, 2 March 2006 (CST)

The reference on every elementalist spell should be removed; it would be akin to mentioning epidemic on every condition page as a way to spread conditions: of course it is. Particularly annoying is the entry on Chain Lightning stating that it is "worth using" for this skill - in what sense? 1 second and 5 energy for 10 damage? Someone without a very good grasp of cost effectiveness was entering this I suspect. --Epinephrine 01:09, 2 March 2006 (CST)

Buff
This is now a serious way to add some good damage for just 5 energy. >> Kessel 09:45, 26 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Agreed. This was pointless before, but I can see myself actually using it now. BigAstro 13:35, 26 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Particularly effective for mutli-element users? --Bob III 15:18, 6 January 2007 (CST)


 * out of interest what did this glyph do before the update?88.106.131.8 12:45, 10 January 2007 (CST)


 * Affected the next 1 spell &mdash; Skuld 12:50, 10 January 2007 (CST)

Dervish
Does anybody know if dervish wind and earth prayers are affected by this glyph? They are elemental, but don't know if they are bufferd. Crigore 23 February 2007
 * Read the first line in the notes section. --220.233.103.77 07:11, 23 February 2007 (CST)
 * Yes, but I was wondering if it was a pre-Nightfall note. And I asked because I didn't see any discussion about that. Thanks. Crigore 23 February 2007

Energy Storage
This Glyph raises only Earth/Air/Water/Fire, or it can also raise Energy Storage? It would be pretty nice on Me/E, because Ele Attune will last a bit longer with it + ench mod. &mdash; Abedeus   13:56, 23 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Unfortunately, it does not affect Energy Storage. -- Gordon Ecker 22:20, 17 July 2007 (CDT)
