Talk:Elite skill

From Guild Wars Wiki

This should definitely be lower case, and possible singular. This is not a list of elite skills but a page describing what an elite skill is. LordBiro 16:23, 8 February 2007 (PST)

Is there a style guide I should be following? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Vladtheemailer .

Do you mean for the content? Or when naming articles? I'm not sure if style guides exist for either of these! But it's good practice to use lower case unless title case is used in the game. So Elite skill and Word of Healing. It's also a good idea to use singular and then make a redirect from the plural article to the singular article. LordBiro 03:27, 9 February 2007 (PST)

I meant for both. I haven't really done much with Wikis before so I'm just trying to be as 'correct' as possible but I wasn't sure whether there were fixed styles to adhere to, or whether we were to use the GuildWiki format or just play it by ear. --Vladtheemailer 06:29, 9 February 2007 (PST)

A player may capture up to 5 elites in their skillbar in certain explorable areas in Prophecies, making it possible to have 6 elite skills at once. - I dont think a lot of thought has gone into this line, surely they cant mean areas with 5 bosses of only 2 different proffessions (e.g. 2 warrior elite skills and 3 monk elite skills). and if he means 5 different proffessions elites then you cannot change profession without entering an outpost and losing your elite skill multiples --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:80.42.87.152 .

Actually I think there is one or two of those areas where you can find 5 bosses of just two professions. Snake Dance and Spearhead Peak comes to mind, thought I haven't done a complete check. - anja 12:40, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] EotN

If I don't own nightfall can I cap Searing Flames in EotN?58.110.139.72 07:44, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

No. It might be possible to cap it, technically, but you still cannot use the skill until you have a Nightfall key on your account. - anja 10:29, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

You can kill the boss, but the skill will be locked in the capture box ╙─ ╠Dogzrdogz╣ talk

[edit] Accessibility

I think there should be a more accessable link to the list of elite skills (by campaign). This is very useful to skill hunters and people that want to capture elite skills in general. In guilwiki.org I need only a single click to enter that list when I load the site. Here I have to do it in 3 or more clicks. The information in this section is not all that useful to players who are already comeing to the wiki for information (aperantly they know something about the game in general). Basic explanations should be in a beginer's guide not in a page for every-day use. the same is true to some extent for the skill article and the skill list. I think that players in general need faster access to skill lists and skill descriptions rather than basic information.

Personally, I think as an experienced user you will know the names of the article you want to reach by now and can just aswell type out the name in the search field, instead of clicking your way through. We have a quick access links page though, do you think it would help to place a link to that in a prominent place? - anja 18:26, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Since you mention the skill article, there is a prominent and convenient sidebox with links to all the skill and elite skill lists. This makes them accessable with 2 clicks from the main page, same as Guildwiki. (Guildwiki is only single click if you bookmark quicklinks instead of the main page.) Perhaps an elite skill only version of that box could be put here. --Valshia 19:03, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

I added a box similar to the one found in the skills page. I wasn't sure how to handle the bottom two links. It seems like we don't have separate campaign lists, just one list sorted by campaign. Tedium 00:40, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] QUESTION ABOUT SIGNET OF CAPTURE

hey i was wondering can u equip signet of capture on to a hero's skill bar, and if u can, can the hero (or me) use it on a dead boss and learn a elite skill, without loseing the signet of capture in my skill bar so u dont have to buy it again?

No, unfortunately heroes cannot equip PvE-only skills, which includes Signet of Capture. - anja 09:32, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
