Talk:Melandru's Assault

Good Skill!
I actually find this skill good against anyone except warriors, rangers, and mesmers. The other classes all use some sort of enchantment. Bisurge 02:28, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

 * So I assume it works like a nearby range cyclone axe? Or does it work like death blossom? (Related skills need to be changed too once this is confirmed) 66.41.46.226 03:33, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, works like death blossom, the nearby targets don't take any attack damage just the skill damage. Necromas 07:46, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Removal
Removed "Combines well with Splinter Weapon" because I thought it was misleading and implied the AoE damage triggered additional splinter weapon procs, it just triggers splinter weapon once like any normal attack skill. Necromas 04:55, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Worse than before
Is it just me or is this skill actually worse now that it was before the update? --SkyHiRider 11:10, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is worse. This is not multiattack (no splinter trigger abuse; no strenght of honor abuse, no great dwarf weapon goodness) and not even physical (no mop/barbs trigger). It is armor ignoring, but low enough to be nearly worthless. Not to mention that it would be extremely hard to position pet well enough to take advantage of enemies balled in adjacent range. Before it could be fairly strong attack skill at cost being situational (50 armor ignoring damage, oh my!) Zweistein 12:37, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Definitely worse than before. ...should probably point this out to one of the Devs since it was supposed to be a Buff according  . Not triggering other skills really defeats the entire purpose of the game, which is Skill-SYNERGY.  IF it's just meant to be an AoE "spell", then it needs to A)do a lot more damage, or B) Cost less energy and recharge faster. -- ilr [[image:User_ilr_deprav.png]] 06:04, 22 August 2009 (UTC)


 * It's nearby range, not adjacent. Triggering splinter, MoP, etc. would make this a worthy skill to have. Greevar 13:17, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Moebiius strike + death blossom + this. It recharges this skill 94.3.212.238 17:24, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Blind?
Does this skill still work when your pet is blinded?--74.107.152.69 02:18, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * No. Pet Attacks don't get used up if the pet misses with it's attack. I found that out earlier today. Bloody Rangers and their Throw Dirt.. DevilJinKazama 15:30, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

bug?
ok yes i read the anomaly note at the bottom but i found a more weird bug... it says 15 damage in game an on wiki for attibute 10, but the pet deals 20 to the damage AoE. i can screenshot but don't know how to link on here... 96.13.54.168 01:08, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Pets do +33% damage in PvE. This also boosts pet attacks. 15 dmg +33% is 20 dmg, exactly what you witnessed. This is mentioned on the main article for Pet_attacks. Redscull 17:14, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
