Talk:Brutal Mauling

From Guild Wars Wiki

I've heard that perhaps the reason for including this skill was to add an attack skill of some sort. I've heard from other players that the skill description in other languages mentions Bleeding, but doesn;t inflict it.Echovald Ranger 01:14, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

This is so stupid, REMOVE IT FROM THE GAME OR GIVE IT AN EFFECT OR SOMETHING! How hard can it be?! Dark Morphon(contribs) 10:04, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

think logical lol 
 bear does more dmg but includes brutal mauling to bring its DPS back to normal 
  that hard to figure out?

it's pretty useful with chants --Blood Anthem 00:40, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

The problem is that the bear does NOT do more damage. This has been conclusively tested. However, as Blood Anthem said, it can be (slightly) useful with Anthem of Flame and Anthem of Weariness. Tain 00:42, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

For the first time today actually I saw a rangers bear in AB use this...I was rather surprised oO LunarEffect 14:50, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

This blows, I thought only bears in pre-searing used this useless skill, but when I tamed a bear in the southern shiverpeaks, it has this skill too. It's sooo bad, I just got rid of my level 20 bear after finding out he used this skill. RIP Teddy. Hope Ministe Cho doesn't make you into a bearburger..... --ChristopherRodrigues 17:01, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

I was fighting a black bear in pre, when I noticed this skill goes right through Shielding hands. I need to test it a bit more, but this skill might ignore damage reducing enchantments such as Shielding Hands.--Ghostbuddy 19:44, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

So u were farming a bear on a 55 HP monk? xD Super Range Ranger Cow 10:56, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Btw,doesn't this skill interupt or knockdown?cause it does stop charm animal in pre-searing.Super Range RangerCow 10:58, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

No, if this did an interrupt or knockdown, you'd see more Black Bears in PVP. Pre-searing bears use a skill called Breaking Charm, but can be tamed when using two people; one to lure, and one to capture. However, it's not as easy as it sounds. -- Luigi (T/C) 14:22, 31 July 2008 (UTC) (Forgot to login.)

Oh, my bad =P Super Range Ranger Cow 17:50, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] This skill harms all adjacent NPCs

Any truth to this statement at all? If this attack really does have an area of effect then maybe bears aren't so useless after all. Silavor 14:11, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Well, I was just testing, but it didnt seem to hurt my Heroes when the Bear used the skill on me, we were all infront of it with melee weapons attacking it. I'm not sure if it works for PvE Enemies though, as I was testing in PvP Aerie 12:05, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Kay, I just tested it outside Kamadan (Churrhir Fields or w/e) and its Brutal Mauling didnt hit the 'Adjacent to Foe' target, when it was attacking the 'Practise Target' Aerie 21:17, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
