Talk:Dulled Weapon

skill change?
idk how hard thisd be to do, but imo make this an offensive weapon spell? or at least remove their current weapon spell? because technically you cant be under the subject of 2 weapon spells. and i know this isnt technically a weapong spell, but in essense it is. could be overpowered, because you'd have to cast another weapon spell to remove it... thoughts?

 * Adds another dynamic to the game's engine, but it'd lack way too little support for such a thing. If they did that, they'd have to implement lots of other 'weapon spell' hexes and ways in which negative 'weapon spell' hexes could be removed (because there's no way they'd add it if the only way to remove it were to have another weapon spell replace it).  --Eyekwah 16:18, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * How about something like: "Target foe and all nearby foes cannot critical and deal -10 damage with attacks"?  --Eyekwah 09:20, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Heading towards elite w/that one ^ litttlebeck 04:07, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Still I would not take it. You can only carry 8 skills for that there's Shadow Weapon. But hell...thats better function then what it is now.--ShadowFog 04:13, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Imo
"Hex Spell. ( seconds.)  Target foe cannot be the target of weapon spells.  No effect if target foe is under the effects of a Weapon Spell.

I think this would be more useful than it is now and provide a psuedo-counter to weapon spells. -- euphoracle  |  talk  21:53, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Question
First, I removed the note saying it's good against daggers since they deal small damage packets. Anyone who thinks that does not play an assassin or doesn't know how to. Assassins aren't meant to auto attack, they run around and spike with huge damage packets. auto attacking just makes you bait for empathy, clumsines, ineptitude, insidious parasite, blind bots etc. etc. However it's still good for energy denial against them, left that in. Question is, does this reduce spell/AoE damage aswell? The description makes me think so but the skill name makes me think attacks only. Anyone know? 114.77.98.223 05:38, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
 * An Assassin's strength is the compression of several damage packets, primarily achieved with a short chain including two dual attacks. The packets themselves are not that large, excepting Blades of Steel.  That being said, no, Dulled Weapon doesn't appear to affect anything other than attacks.  Tested on Master of Lightning.
