Talk:Ebon Battle Standard of Honor

From Guild Wars Wiki

anyone think this might be the skill icon? --Lou-Saydus 01:28, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

For now, we're not able to link skill descriptions with icons directly inside gw.dat. So there is no way to know if you are right. After looking at the icons again, all I can say is that I share your feeling about this one. Chriskang 08:40, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah as I looked at the other icons, they all seemed to have some sort of combat in them. So I just thought this looked likely. --Lou-Saydus 17:21, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

i wonder how many battle standard can be active in the same area12.46.53.132 17:26, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Hmm the words I have in mind are Bone Fiends. :D --Adul 04:46, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

This skill, at rank 2, Covert Agent, is: For 12 seconds, non-spirit allies in this area strike for +7 damage and an additional +6 against Charr. Unienaule 00:00, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

At rank 3: For 13 seconds, +8, additional +6 vs. charr. BTW, yeah, it's the right icon. -- Mafaraxas 01:22, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

At rank 4: 14 seconds, +9 damage, +7 vs. charr. -- Mafaraxas 20:36, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

At rank 5: 15 seconds, +10 damage, +7 vs. charr. -- Mafaraxas 07:18, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Contents 1 Bonus damage 2 Minions ftw 3 Zealot's Fire 4 order of operations

[edit] Bonus damage

First, I'm rank 5, where the bonus is +10, +7 vs. charr. To confirm that bonus damage applies to direct-damage spells as well, but doesn't affect armor-ignoring damage, I took Wastrel's Demise and Enervating Charge on my bar, at 0 Air Magic and 0 Domination. I cast Enervating Charge on a Mantid Digger - I dealt 6 damage outside the ward, and 16 in it. I then cast Wastrel's Demise on a Mantid Digger while it wasn't casting a spell, and it dealt 14 damage both in and outside the ward. -- Mafaraxas 07:18, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Another thing to test would be a skill like Griffon's Sweep which does armor ignoring damage to make sure it's not just in caster-line skills that armor-ignoring damage doesn't get the bonus. Someone want to test that? -- Mafaraxas 23:26, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Tested with Needling Shot and the bonus stacks with that attack's armor-ignoring damage.--Semantic 02:26, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Why is it better then intensity? Buff Intensity!!

[edit] Minions ftw

nice combo, make my lvl 10 bone minions alot more threatening

Yup, use honor + courage and your fiends will get a nice firepower and durability upgrade. --SkyHiRider 19:34, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Zealot's Fire

I know it doesn't work with some skills, does it work with Zealot's Fire? It's quite indirect (an enchantment on you deals damage to foes in the area of target ally if you cast a skill on that ally), and the note says it works with direct-damage spells. Can anyone test? (Can't GW atm) --Sir Bertrand 15:05, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] order of operations

anyone what what the oder of operations is by chance?

ie: if you were to use shadow form + sliver armor, saying your damage normaly is 10 if you add this will it (using +5 for the mod) cause: 15 ( {20/2}+5 ) or 12.5 ( (20+5)/2 )

--Sumta 07:28, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

haha thinking the same thing, gona try to test tonight if i can get my sin far enough tonight --Lifeblast

Tested it. Shadow Form does indeed half the damage boost recieved from this rounded down. So at rank 10 you would get an addition 7 damage. --Lifeblast

Thank you, looks like I know my build it will be.--Sumta 13:58, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
