[edit] Notes
- This is the only Spell that inflicts physical damage.
- This can be one of the most effective skills for killing Charr bosses, as it can finish a boss off in 1 hit.
- When you successfully inflict the additional damage, one of a number of quotes appears in the chat log:
- Balthazar bless my strength, teach my hands to war, and my fingers to fight.
- I am a Stone. I do not move. I do not tremble. I have no fear.
- One arrow one kill.
- Snap! Headshot!
[edit] Trivia
- "Snap! Headshot!" is a reference to "Boom Headshot!!," a common phrase in many first person shooter games.
- "One arrow one kill," is a reference to "One shot, one kill," a phrase made popular in films that include snipers as important characters.
- "Balthazar bless my strength, teach my hands to war, and my fingers to fight," is a reference to the 144th Psalm in the Christian Bible, which includes the phrase, "Blessed be the Lord, my strength, who teacheth my hands to war and my fingers to fight." Notably, the movie Saving Private Ryan includes a sniper who recites similar lines.
- "I am a Stone. I do not move. I do not tremble. I have no fear." is a quotation from the movie Enemy at the Gates, a World War II movie about snipers in the Battle of Stalingrad.
