Talk:Ebon Dust Aura

From Guild Wars Wiki

Hero will not use; she has no ebon weapon, but was using Dust Cloak AND Staggering Force. Only seemed to cause blind when used BEFORE Dust Cloak or Staggering Force.

Considering Mark of Rodgort (not an elite) causes burning, which is a much more difficult to inflict condition, this is a rather lame elite. Dancing Gnome 22:02, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

This is a lame elite?!? Consider the anti-melee potential of this skill Bertz

Dancing, you don't play RA, TA or HB much, do you? Putting this on a D/P with easily spammable and unblockable spear attacks ensures maintaining blind on at least 3 opponents. 4 of them if they don't have good condition removal. RitualDoll 07:23, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Also works wonders for the Norn Tournament...Hyper Cutter 03:50, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Note

Works well with a spell causing earth damage, such as Dust Cloak, or an Ebon weapon mod.

Well no shit, it ONLY works with one of them. --Deathwing 03:27, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Changed to: A skill that changes the damage type of a weapon to Earth Damage (such as Dust Cloak) also counts as wielding an earth weapon. 213.84.52.71 10:56, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Also I find if you blind most your targets you are nearly invincable, I thought this elite was lame till i versed a dervish with it and i couldnt land one hit on him, talk about ownage. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Bgbg (talk).

You can spread blind pretty well with this, but both condition and/or enchantment removal are plentiful in most parts of the game, making it risky. - HeWhoIsPale 18:22, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

I love this skill, and to counter condition and enchantment removal is easy. For condition removals, just spam another attack. For enchantment removals, have some sort of energy manegmant (which is very.....very...VERY...commmon for dervishes)--Raph Talky 22:03, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Relying on your elite enchantment for any class is risky, look at Elemental Attunement and the recharge timer for that skill and yeah if your using it as your elite (for an elementalist) and it's stripped your going to burn out of energy fast. The positive about this skill is that it has a twenty second recharge time so all in all it's quite useful in both pvp and pve.Highway Man 08:23, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Most dervs use multiple enchants anyway, just cover this. As far as multiple enchant removal, all builds have to have some weakness. Barkingllama 03:59, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] CONCISE DESCRIPTION IS WRONG

is saying that all attacks will trigger blindness?--220.245.178.132 04:45, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

That's how it is in-game but you still need to use an attack skill--74.61.209.219 04:50, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

which is why i said it is wrong =/--220.245.178.137 01:02, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
