Talk:Lina

The Lina at the shrine in pre-Searing looks completely different. --Fyren 13:44, 4 Oct 2005 (EST)
 * Indeed. We already discussed this in Talk:Lina the Healer. Also note that the name of the Lina in pre-searing is "Lina the Healer", whereas the hench(wo)man Lina is a protector. Another indication that this is not the same person. --Tetris L 18:31, 4 Oct 2005 (EST)

Yes, because no one else in this game has ever changed professions. She's even still a monk, plus she mentions standing beside a ressurection shrine all day. That argument is completely invalid. Just look at the other examples of people who have changed skins: Verata and Jarrel the Tamer. Don't tell me, they aren't the same person either.

Lina in Sorrow's Furnace
I was playing in Sorrow's Furnace with henchmen the other day, and Lina put Strength of Honor and Watchful Spirit on me. I got a screen shot of it, too. --Sagius Truthbarron 04:24, 16 March 2006 (CST)


 * I know the dredge collector Molenin casts some monk spells on the party, and I believe Strength of Honor is among them, though none of that is currently mentioned on his page. --adeyke 04:32, 16 March 2006 (CST)


 * I have seen Molenin cast both Strength of Honor and Watchful Spirit. I'm pretty sure it's not Lina. Those aren't monk protection skills anyways. Unless your screenshot actually shows Lina casting both skills. --Vortexsam 04:35, 16 March 2006 (CST)

We have to test this one out :) I was thinking that she usually casts these on herself. But yeah, you guys are right. Molenin must have cast them on me. I haven't really been down there long enough to know that he does that. --Sagius Truthbarron 04:40, 16 March 2006 (CST)


 * I can already tell you that its Molenin that casts these spells. Just as Tharn Stonerift will cast Mark of Protection on you. And Molachev will also cast Strength of Honor and Watchful Spirit on you as well. I wish they woulnd't cast any spells as they cast them on you and your enemies as well. --Gares Redstorm 05:29, 16 March 2006 (CST)


 * Yes, good old Tharn is particularly annoying when you are trying to kill those two bosses in Sorrow's Belly (that he commissioned you to kill) and he keeps healing them. --Karlos 06:33, 16 March 2006 (CST)

Last name
According to the guide, Lina's last name is "Esrevni" which means her name spelled backwards is "Inverse Anil". I wonder if they thought about calling her Lana...


 * Guide? Which guide? The Prima guide? --Tetris L 02:49, 5 Oct 2005 (EST)
 * Yeah, the Prima one. - Caspian
 * Lina Inverse is a character from the anime series Slayers. (Or is that what you meant but remembered the name incorrectly, Caspian?)  --Fyren 20:49, 5 Oct 2005 (EST)
 * Hmm, nice trick. :) Lina Inverse is a fireball sorceress and Lina Esrevni is a protection healer. Inverse name, inverse job. :) Unfortunately, the credibility of the Prima guide is right there with Vizier Khilbron's credibility right now. :) --Karlos 21:01, 5 Oct 2005 (EST)
 * Just wondering, did the Vizier actually every lie? -PanSola

Cons
Is low damage output really a con? 04:18, 2 March 2006 (CST)
 * Half the pro-con lists for these henchies fall in the "correct, but does it really belong in the pro-con?" IMHO... I kinda gave up careing about it after a while... -PanSola 04:23, 2 March 2006 (CST)

Lina Tank
Lina hardly ever goes up to monsters and begins tanking them. The only reason that happens is because ALL HENCHMEN occasionally act like tanks, and is not vaild as a CON. It's just the way they're programmed. 64.229.218.70 12:25, 3 April 2006 (CDT)

Scratch head
hehe she stood there scratching her head after i BiP'd myself to death 30~ times ^^ Skuld  13:44, 12 April 2006 (CDT)


 * She's not much for healing, but it seems she would have used Protective Spirit on you. She seems to think that solves everything. :P --Gares Redstorm 14:10, 12 April 2006 (CDT)

Origin: Unknown
Origin: Unknown.

Upon exiting the Copperhammer Mines to the Frozen Forest, Lina immediately wondered aloud if Ascalon would see snow again. To me, that is a vague suggestion that she was a citizen of Ascalon for a time, despite never being seen there. -- Dashface 06:07, 6 May 2006 (CDT)

When you talk to her in an outpost, she mentions traveling from Ascalon to finally catch up with you in the Desert. She also mentions that it's "better than standing beside a resurrection shrine all day". Hmmmm...

Known attribute levels
I was considering adding a "Known attribute levels" subheading, such as in the Eve, article, as Lina seems to have 12 in Divine Favor. However, this is based only of my hiring of her in Perdition Rock. Does she have reduced levels elsewhere, such as the desert? -- Dashface 05:01, 7 May 2006 (CDT)
 * Great idea, i've wanted to do these for ages, on monsters too, you can get the necro ones easy because they're lifesteal and armour ignoring/hexes mostly, and soul reaping is easy to see. Skuld  05:04, 7 May 2006 (CDT)

new skils at Gw:en
At least elite is now ZB

But no Protective Spirit! I'd rather my prot monk have protective spirit than any current monk elite if I had to pick one or the other. So what if ZB heals for 200hp, being smacked 2 times for 50hp, and only getting "Healing Whisper" is a lot better than getting smacked 2 times for 200hp, or whatever it is those lev 24 monsters prefer.


 * I'm 100% sure she uses Prot spirt in GW:EN
 * I'm quite sure she has Protective Spirit, but I can't guarantee it. If you can verify she has it, add it to the list, as the skill bars aren't complete yet. --Kale Ironfist 05:40, 26 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Made sure that she still uses Protective Spirit in GW:EN and added it Yujiko Ineluki 11:49, 26 August 2007 (CDT)

Don't forget, SoR was great before it got nerfed, and Lina knew how to use it.
 * Hey overall skill bar is better but the AI sucks with ZB but rocked with SoR. I'm guess she's still better --Blue.rellik 20:25, 26 August 2007 (CDT)
