Talk:Low Blow
From Guild Wars Wiki
Gee, nobody's yet realized the godliness of this skill? +70 damage, 6 adrenaline, with activation time? And that's not even counting the conditional CA. Arshay Duskbrow 01:42, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
- I think it's because it's only really been mostly played with it +30-35 damage, since the PvE event wasn't exactly focused on getting Deldrimor points. — 130.58 (talk) 05:14, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
Most likely most people don't have past rank 3 yet. I know on GWO couple days back I pointed out the merits of this one to replace Galrath Slash or Executioner's Strike. Hammer users will love it for the 3/4 activation. At Rank 10, Low Blow is just plain sick. I plan on farming ranks just for this skill alone. Buddah668 08:03, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Has anyone else tried this skill and noticed that the bonus damage doesn't seem to be working? --Thervold 00:58, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, it seems to be broken. I gave it a go today and was lucky to do 30 dmg. Buddah668 03:43, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
- The damage does not ignore armor. I tested it on some dummies along with Brawling Headbutt; the latter gives the stated 70 damage against any armor lvl dummy, but Low Blow does 70, 49 and 35 damage on the AL 60, 80 and 100 dummies respectively. Dunno whether it's intentional, but for the time being I'm mothballing this sucker. Out of morbid curiosity I tried it on a lvl30 Destroyer (warrior class)... it does a whopping 18 dmg.

- It's still semiuseful as an adrenaline-based non-elite KD that doesn't make you lose all adrenaline. I've tried using it in PvE thumping builds with moderate success. Move Like A Dwarf is far more reliable though... Arshay Duskbrow 05:01, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
- It isn't bonus damage, its damage. Bonus damage has + in front of it. Executioner's Strike does +42 damage. This is like shattering assault, it does only base damage. Theoretically you should be able to use Shadowy Burden and achieve around 150 damage from this. 69.137.78.47 17:11, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

- all bs, some damage has no type, bypassing armor calculations. If a skill's description does not specify a damage type, it generally inflicts typeless damage. Brawling Headbutt ignores armor, this skill doesn't -> bug
