Talk:Magehunter Strike

From Guild Wars Wiki

Auron B not enough dmg to be an elite. the condition under wich it can't be blocked is controlled by your target wich makes it unreliable... soldier stike does more damage and the condition under wich it can't be block is controlled by you... Soldiers strike isn't an elite, and nether should this skill be. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:68.30.234.120 .

Agree this could use some bffing ~ Kurd 21:06, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Auron B(not that guy) yep me again if u read what i said about mage hunters smash then you know whats comeing. magebane shot just got a boost and this remains useless. this is essentially a damage skill, and a crapy one at that. Magehunter implies it's suposed to be used to counter spell castors yet this doesn't do jack. give us a reason to use it. More damage, interupts, add dazed, something.

needs either more damage/interrupt/or less recharge time to make me happy.24.253.159.223 06:27, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

This is clearly, as all above me have put it, not a good elite, nor is it considered a good skill by the looks of it. However, one must know that this game takes inspiration from Magic: the Gathering, a card game, the players of which will know that it contains rare cards as bad as this. You are at no point required to use the skill, I believe. However, it does have one lure to appeal to a niche: skill hunting. Chaiyo Kaldor 03:40, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

It does, however, counter gaurdian etc, still... Coruskane 04:12, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

pfft dmg skill vs prot monks are useless. if some one is packing gaurdian then they are also packing protective spirit, and reversal of fortune. not to mention that warriors dont have a large enough nrg pool to make the must out of this skill effects. Mage Hunters strike does nothing. it would be a good skill, were it not elite. and comparing this to magic the gathering? TCG make bad cards in an attemtp to dilute the market and increase the worth of their "good" cards. so are u saying Anet is overwhelming players with bad skill to Incurage us to use good skills? This is a waste of time money and effort as that goal could have been acomplished simply by MAKEING GOOD SKILLS.--The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:68.240.131.166 (talk).

I cant tell what ur point is. You are entitles to you're opinion, but dont going around bad mouthing Guild Wars (or to a lesser extent, TCG cards). Guild Wars has "good skills" and "bad skills" which balence each other out. Examples:Searing Flames=good skill, frenzyhealsig=bad skill(combination)--Raph Talky 02:26, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

and agreeing with Raph, diversity of skills is brilliant. This skill, and most other bad skills, can be particularly effective in specific situations. However, I do agree that this skill is not versatile or worthwhile in many cases. If you don't like the game, don't play. Consumer choice, :) Coruskane 13:57, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Auron Bushi: allright makeing progress magehunter smash got a good fixen( though i wonder how long befor they nerf it, not that it need nerfing just that well it a good skill now and they dont seem to like that.) now we need to work on this. All we need is to up the dmg, or add knock down, be like a griffin strike type deal. oh and as for the above. i didnt bad mouth gw i play the game because its fun, and tiny issues like this can be fixed that the beauty of of a game like this it can change. perferably for the better and its no secret that Anet pays attention to entires posted on this site. and no in my opinion u cant compare this game to magic the gathering, or yu-gi-oh or duel masters its a whole other animal all together. and yes i am the Auron B, AuronB (not that guy) and the writer of the unsigned comment above. 70.3.42.28 11:04, 9 March 2008 (UTC) strike hard strike fast every strike first and last

Damage needs to get buffed to Power Strike levels to be worth an elite spot. 76.89.81.150 05:17, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

I'd even say that it needs Power Attack's bonus damage to be worth any skill slot. Noctarch 22:06, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

This should add a minor condition (wounding strike) or interrupt (like magebane shot) - it has a 1/2 activation time, similar to savage slah. As it is now, I would use this in a hammer build only for the extra attack like quick shot. But it fails once again regardless of it's ultra fast recharge as this skill can not be spammed with a warrior for long. SamoK 13:29, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] lawl

(Reset indent) did anyone else notice the icon kind of looks like a jawa getting stabbed?--Raph Talky 21:17, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

I didn't notice the person get Stabbed, I thought it was a slash from the side. Halogod35 22:15, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

You're right, it does look like a Jawa. --Doombringer 23:31, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Though I risk a "Man, EVERYONE knew that!", I want to point out that this is a Nightfall elite and surely the developers were aware of the increasing dangers from the enchantment skills of Nightfall, especially the Dervish ones. The picture therefore simply shows a Warrior stabbing a Dervish (who may - if he or she is very small - look like a Jawa regarding his or her clothes). Noctarch 23:19, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

thats funny nice job noticing that — Renuro Seru Talk 23:20, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

It could also be a reference to the fact that most 'Mages' are shown wearing a long robe with a hood, hence the name Magehunter's Strike. Arty 20:22, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

It looks more like the guy from Scream being stabbed --BeeD 09:29, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] I enjoy

this skill. --76.25.197.215 05:30, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
