I started this but cannot finish it right now. I'll be back later. Feel free to add / take over! :-)--Mask 22:47, 13 April 2007 (EDT)

Done all the damage I can do. If someone can give it a look-see, that would be great. Cya :-) --Mask 17:45, 15 April 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Concerns about Content

The following information was collected from a "non-official" source. If someone can verify it and/or expand on it, that would be great!:

• Skills that decrease recharge time may or may not affect disabled skills.--Mask 22:47, 13 April 2007 (EDT)

Disabled skills are never affected by any recharge time enhancements, because, they are disabled not recharging. -DяấĢő

Thanks! --Mask 19:13, 14 April 2007 (EDT)

Hey Drago :-), I moved that comment to the main description. Thought it was important. Thanks again for verifying it! --Mask 17:42, 15 April 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Formatting

IMHO Many skills can be interpreted as disabling skills by using the word cannot (i.e. Well of Silence -- a player cannot use shouts or chants).

In order to avoid personal interpretations I have been adding only skills that specifically use the word disable. I have also only placed them in the sections that specifically meet the skills description (i.e. I moved someone's entry of Blackout from the Disables itself section to Disables your other skills just because that's what is says in description. This is indeed only my opinion. If another consensus is reached I promise not to throw a tantrum. :-) --Mask 19:13, 14 April 2007 (EDT)

In each section the professions are in the order specified by Guild Wars Wiki:Formatting/General. Past that, I alphabetized the skills. Again, if another consensus is reached, so be it. :-) --Mask 19:13, 14 April 2007 (EDT)

[edit] History

Terra Xin -- I removed Withthdraw hexes from the list due to the fact that the skill's description does not actually say disable. That skill can be listed under the recharge section. Recharge and disable are so similar that I personally feel they should be kept strictly separate or completely combined. If a general consensus says otherwise, then so be it... Trying to say this in a way that lets you know I really don't mind, but trying to explain my reasoning at the same time.  :-) --Mask 13:20, 3 May 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Diversion

I can't imagine you guys/gals forgot about the king of disabling. DIVERSION!!! BlazeRick 14:18, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Oh, and Power Lock as well, but that one's new, so I forgive you. BlazeRick 15:49, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

lol oh yes! Good to have Power Lock! :-) Diversion however affects recharge time. In an earlier discussion (see above) I suggested that this article deal only with skills that specifically use the word "disable". Mask 18:13, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
