Talk:Ravenous Gaze

From Guild Wars Wiki

This > Grenth's Balance? I say no. Discuss please i need opinions.--Fallen 19:45, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

This skill cannot be compared to any other, it is just rubbish. Weak non-conditional life-steal and horrible condition to meet. I imagine people fear getting spiked for some 120 life steal, but this just does not work. Saccing yourself below 50% to steal some 120 life is NOT viable. Suggestion: Give it the non-conditional life steal of Vampiric Gaze. Then add the conditional <50% lifesteal. Necros would still have to use Lifebane and other Vamp spells to get something down, and you would still need several Necros to pull off a bloodspike, which would not become stronger with this change. Anyways, I am glad for any suggestion how to improve this skill. --Longasc 10:14, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

I have to agree with the original posters that it is almost impossible to actually use this skill in play without killing yourself and yeah a one hundred damage life steal is not much consider that one world of healing can heal over two hundred health. If anything they can make it a more powerful version of vamperic gaze so it can at least be considered as an elite skill.Highway Man 09:29, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

IMO change it to "If you are suffering from a condition this steals an add XX health" This way it would go very well with angy gaze.Or "if target foe's health is above 50 % you steal up an add XX health" as it would be much more usefull then.81.244.114.207 17:20, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

I believe the best way to buff this would be to reduce the spread between the low health life stealing and the high health life stealing, while perhaps increasing recharge slightly. That way, it wouldn't be (nearly) utterly useless before you are almost dead, and would be viable in more situations. PizzaboyFaul 09:34, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Would be useful if it did the opposite of what it does now like if target is above fifty percent health you steal an additional health or make it a nice finishing move like if target is under fifty percent health you steal additional X amount of health than it would be actually used. But right now this skill is a terrible elite when compared to greneth's balance.William Wallace 03:13, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Does something like lichform count you as being at 50% health when it's cast?70.100.94.64 22:56, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

I agree with virtually everyone who's seen this skill; it is worthless. Why not change the one part of the discription to "If target foe is still over 75% health..." Cuz like hell anyone actually plans to be under 50% all the time to use this skill.--Media Control 00:06, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

I think this skill was design to be a "SAVE YOUR ASS" type of skill, got to admit, casting this and getting 100-120 health when you really need it is not bad, and one sec cast and 5 sec recharge, it will keep you from dying atm. of course if it damage you want; which is what most people care about these days it seems, then yes this skill is quite impractical. --Metal Sazz 23:40, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
