Talk:Sand Shards

Imo, this skill sucks.--Atlas Oranos 00:07, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Should have seen it when it worked with daggers. Best build ever, it even sounded like your character was shooting lasers... Sand Lasers. -- 20:25, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

How does this skill work with Illusionary Weaponry or Mist Form? Since they auto-miss, does it trigger every time? 71.245.104.242 22:31, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

does not work with IW, and idk about mist form Killer Revan 20:13, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Does not work with mist form either Paul 23:12, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

I believe both mist form and Illusionary Weaponry are worded to say "your attacks deal 0 damage" as opposed to "you fail to hit with your attacks", hence they do not trigger this skill. -- Frozzen 03:41, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

I have a question, is the damage inflicted when you miss three times with any attack or with an attack skill when you fail to hit 3 opponents? Fenrir dragonbone 11:27, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Not sure what you mean but this skill activates for every foe you fail to hit. Say you have 2 rangers w/block stances in front of you. They both block your attack. Shards would activate 2 times. so 25(dam)*2(failed hits) = 50 damage for every nearby foe. Done25 00:17, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] notes

is it really a good idea to start listing which skills dont synergise well with other skills? If we start that we'll be at it all year! IMHO that bit of the note should be removed as its needless as understanding of how IW works should be enough to understand that it wont work with this skill. -- Salome 01:20, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

It is an obvious combination and one that, due to inaccuracies in descriptions, is not so obviously not working. Keeping the note shares the knowledge and may thus save people time experimenting, thus it's good use of webspace. Amy Awien 19:46, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

this skill does suck because it was tripple nerfed, anet didn't simply fix the dagger abuse, no they turned this skill into shit as well and that means this skill is not worth using in pve and in pvp either. is that intended ? who knows but either way its damn stupid :p

I don't know about you, but I often look up common skills such as this one (and check the talk page) because it can give me tips on how I might use the skills, give me possible synergies that I would've NEVER thought of (never been THAT great at coming up with builds), and indeed, it does save me a lot of experimentation time.

[edit] Shadow Form

Does this kill annoying Shadow Form users in random arena or certain Faction missions? Seems like it would be pretty cool. - 144.226.230.37 21:13, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

I would assume so. Shadow Form makes you miss, which would be failing to hit, and AoE damage isn't mitigated by Shadow Form. (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 21:15, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
