Talk:Attack

I merged Attack (Combat) and Attack (Skill) into this and made them redirect to it because...

Theres a discussion about not to wikify attack in the skills descriptios, one cons is not to wikify sinple words because this is no dictionary, but in fact "attack" is not that simple and there already exist(ed) 2 sites about "attack (*)":

There are attack skills and skills that target attacking people, these could target on an attack skill or on a "combat attack". So i could NOT have used Attack (Combat) OR Attack (Skill) in a skill that targets both.

Anyways Attack (Combat) and Attack (Skill) have no need to be seperated. Ollj


 * No surprise, I am not understanding your arguments, Ollj. An "attack" in and of itself IS simple:


 * Left click on an enemy and you attack it. It doesn't cost any energy or adrenaline. Certain skills may improve, hinder, and/or modify an attack, or an attacker.


 * End of article. Sure, things like melee and ranged attacks, and skills that are performed while attacking are relevant, but all these are more logically explained within the article they pertain to. I really think this wiki is starting to get mired down in needless, duplicious explanations. --Jackel 03:13, 19 Aug 2005 (EST)

split proposal
If skill and skill (skill type) get their own pages, I don't see why we shouldn't split this article. Attack skill is both a subcategory of attacks and a subcategory of skills. -- Gordon Ecker 00:28, 2 August 2006 (CDT)


 * I second this. Simply because the game seperates the two categories. An example: There are skills(spells) that effect or are effected by attack skills but not attacks generally. -- TBA 11:48, 6 November 2006 (EST)
