I just LOVE the name and skill icon. :))) -83.30.204.124 20:22, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

same, the asura looks like he's confusing you with his awesome intelligence and stuff and he finds it funny.68.226.80.7 02:28, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

So we know why they have these big ears. --Numma cway 11:47, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Skill. Blabber endlessly about technological whatchamahooie. All foes within earshot are dazed for 8...15 seconds. If 6...2 foes are affected by this skill, add 128 megabytes to your RAM. Image:Esig2.jpg Eldin 17:59, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "If target foe is not a boss.."

why? well, the skill is weaker,as you can't damage the boss directly, but you can still daze the boss if you are targeting a foe adjacent to it... Zerpha The Improver 10:19, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

From the description, you can still damage the boss, just no-one with be dazed if that's your target.--Seth Crimsonflare 10:33, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Oops, you're right. so you can decide to let the boss either gain the damage or the condition. Zerpha The Improver 05:44, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Actually, the damage (as well as the Dazed) is AoE, so the boss still takes damage if you target someone next to him. The only difference between targeting a boss and a normal enemy next to the boss is whether or not the Dazed happens. If this is not a timely response (i.e. if the skill has been changed since the previous comments) please excuse this correction. - 69.180.19.49 02:34, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shiro Tagachi, Abaddon, and the Great Destroyer

Are they boss-like foes, or bosses? The lich is boss-like, so you'd think the other three would be too. Silavor 23:32, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Short answer: no. Long answer: see Category:Boss-like foes. - HeWhoIsPale 17:23, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Um you mean yes, they are boss like, not bosses. 92.21.55.29 16:16, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Interruption Dispute

Whenever Daze is applied, it interupts. Whenever Daze is reapplied, it interupts. From what I know of game mechanics, this isn't an "unlisted effect", it's how the condition works. I'll check back in a few days to see if anyone replies, and if no one has, I'll remove the note. 66.202.1.169 23:57, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Applying daze does not cause a simultaneous interrupt. It only makes the target easier to interrupt during the condition.- TheRave (talk) 23:59, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it actually does interrupt on application (and re-application). See here. 128.175.47.103 07:14, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

This spell does interrupt, whomever keeps deleting it, I suggest you get in the game and test it. it also interrupts foes adjacent to the target. I've been vanquishing with this skill in my bar for over 5 months and I know exactly what it does!--The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Xiandrinker (talk).

I don't think the issue is whether it interrupts or not. It seems everyone agrees that it does. The disagree seems to be as to whether the interruption is part of the actual skill or part of the condition. If its part of the skill then it should be on this page, if its part of the condition then it shouldn't. TBH I'm not sure which way it is. We need more evidence for either way.- TheRave (talk) 00:12, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

The Dazed talk page is also relevant to this discussion.- TheRave (talk) 00:15, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Skills that cause daze interrupts even without specifically stating it nor causing damage (such as beguiling haze). That should come under bugs in daze or an adnormaly in the description.Pika Fan 00:20, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

You can test the skill just by applying it on an enemy warrior and see if they "falldown." --8765 00:29, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Applying Daze by itself does not interrupt, but when you're dazed, any source of damage will interrupt spellcasting. With this skill, you're dazed AND damaged, thus the interrupt. I'm removing the note. KStarfire 07:26, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

--User:XianDrinker OK yes, you cast and it inflicts daze, then simultaneously its adding damage. because of the dazed condition anyone being struck by damage is interrupted. I do believe the technobabble page should point this out, as this skill can make vanquishing a complete breeze. something like +because of the simultaneous daze/damage this spell can be used as an interrupt, let the community decide!

Dazed=Easily interrupted. Easily interrupted means you are interrupted if you are hit by an attack, not if you suffer damage.Crimmastermind 06:17, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] In other words...

Cast it on someone NEXT to the boss. (; - Xiaoling 23:56, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
