Talk:Glyph of Essence

From Guild Wars Wiki

Does this actually cast instantly, or is it actually 1/4 second like Glyph of Sacrifice? --JoDiamonds 00:22, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

I have been told it's instant, like a stance. (Although I'm sure there's an animation thus you need to be standing up to activate it) jmz 11:17, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

It's 1/4; fabio of kF was running glyph of essence -> diversion and his diversion got PD'd. -Auron 11:48, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

na it's not.its much faster that a 1/4 cast.go isle of nameless and get daze and you will see its still way faster than a 1/4 cast unlikley glyph of sacrifice wich is a 1/2 cast while dazed 84.170.224.105 18:07, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Maybe it's an unconditional 1/4 cast. Perhaps in the way that no matter what is currently affecting you, it casts at 1/4 of a second? Cedave 05:39, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

If you used this skill after Auspicious Incantation and cast a spell, would you gain the energy before Glyph of Essence removed energy (and thus end up with zero energy) or after the Glyph triggered (and thus have at least as much energy as the spell cost)? ~ Da Si 00:52, 28 November 2007 (UTC). PS If no one responds, I'll see if I can find the time to test it myself.

Tested gain then lose, meaning youre still at 0, note use it with ether prodigy or other fast energy gain skills or a negative set 23:24, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Rebirth and this are a nasty combo. I found that the resurrected person will be teleported to where you activated the glyph, not to where you did cast Rebirth. 138.246.7.121 22:57, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Icon

Why does this Glyph have a unique icon? I mean, all the others including the 2 elites have the same Glyph concept/template.. --SetandSpike 07:03, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

It was the only skill that was designed for factions that was a glyph, the art changed between the 2 campaigns and thus this looks different, with NF and GWEN, anet probably reverted back to the old base icon and changed the rune in the center for identification...in short blame the art crew for factions. That's my guess. Weaponmaster 20:12, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

I always thought, since it's Glyph of ESSENCE, it was like... the essence of a glyph, lol. I mean, you'll see all other glyphs have carvings around the outer edge, while this one is smooth; it's an uncarved glyph. No, actually, I just have too much time on my hands.
