- Basic skills with no subtype are difficult to counter. Few skills can counter them, and no skills can prematurely end them.
That's really vague (and awkward). Not all of them have durations or lasting effects. Those with activations can be interrupted by many things. I'm not really sure what Gordon meant to point out. --Fyren 06:05, 4 February 2007 (CST)

So, this isn't immediately clear- a skill is anything? Is something that says 'spell' also a skill? Generally we call anything that goes on a skill bar a skill, but as far as things like Song of Power for example- does the description have to say 'skill' for it to be a skill, or are spells or enchantments (etc) also considered skills? I read the previous talk and it still isn't very clear.--Jasminethetender 11:53, 23 March 2007 (CDT)
- Yes, every single icon that goes in your skill bar is a 'Skill'. There is a hierarchy of types and that is at the top. Skills are given the most accurate description for their place in the hierarchy, but if it is right at the top then it will only have type Skill. See Skill_type for the hierarchy. Sof or example Agonizing_Chop is an Axe Attack, but it is also a Melee Attack, Attack, and Skill, even though it doesn't say any of those in the description. On the other hand, something like Awe is just a skill, and nothing else. — Biscuits (talk contribs) 14:26, 23 March 2007 (CDT)

Due to the new update, Visions of Regret now affects all "skills", and should be added to the list. I lack the ability to do it but I'm sure someone with more skill can do it. (i.e the people notified about my edit just now) =) Aura of Holy Might
