Talk:Word of Censure

From Guild Wars Wiki

Why can't I ever see any smiters in gw, then i took a look at this skill and know why. Flare is better. --Cursed angel 08:59, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

yeah it's horrible. I would suggest if they are below 33%, make it do 1/3 damage and make the recharge more like 10. I guess if you used this with "finish him" it would be good in PVE, but still qutie energy intensive. --WiNG 12:11, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

I think 75 armor ignoring damage every 3 seconds is a very decent way to put pressure on enemy healers in PvP. Armor ignorign is too often overlooked. This spell does WAY more damage than Flare. Nicky Silverstar 21:47, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Well you can spam flare every second for only 5 energy or use this skill every 2 seconds for 10 energy. Imo this elite needs some added value. 87.189.197.118 00:05, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Add +50 dmg if below 50% health maybe and disable for additional 5 seconds ,also double dmg vs summoned creatures or maybe set them on fire Aljazya 06:39, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

All holy dmg do double to summoned creatures81.106.201.158 20:50, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

No, double damage to undead. Undead != summoned. --Valshia 21:07, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Looks like a decent elite skill and when they get to 33%HP, use another skill to finish them off. — ク Eloc 貢 04:53, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

unfortunately, this skill is ok but as with most smiting skills it makes other primary attributes more useful and thus better smiters are often elementalists and so on. Monks need some form of energy management in the smiting line. With castigation signet it is ok but still... Coruskane 13:13, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

i really love this skill icon (don't ask why), but with 5 energy cost it would prove much more useful, as it already has a drawback , why throw in another one ? Fenrir dragonbone 09:22, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] This vs Blood Magic

I think this skill loses against all armor ignoring blood magic elite. It loses even again Vampiric Gaze because it steals health and is non-elite. They should make it in a special way, maybe adding burning if target is attacking or make it Elite Spell. Target foe takes 15...63...75 holy damage. If your target was above 66% Health, Word of Censure deals additional 30...75...90 damage. If your target was below 33% Health, Word of Censure takes 20 additional seconds to recharge. Then you could use this as a good damage dealer against high health foes but you could not finish them off. --Serina 11:55, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

I like that idea. Put some high-armor counter against warrior types to cut them down to size quickly. Then it's not so far from Deep Wound insta-death territory. --Eyekwah 12:32, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

165 AR-ignoring dmg on a 2 second recast?? I agree it needs a bit more incentive but holy dmg (spell-type) is some of the most dangerous in the game and no spell should have the ability to dole such a high count. TheAllEncompassingScythe 19:04, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

teh 20 additional sec recharge its to prevent spikes, think that--enable 17:36, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] SERINA WINS.

Cursed angel is right. I love holy magic/spells in its entirety, and I cant get this to work for my life. At least flare is efficient and affordable. I've tried to run this skill dozens of times, and to no avail. It pales in comparison to having flare spammed at you. By a warrior w/ a staff.

This is a great elite skill, but its lacking in most places that earn it the title "Elite". Additional damage above 66% is a beautiful idea, But thats a bit much for bonus damage. maybe 10...20...35 bonus DMG? At least it will be useful that way, or maybe burning to nearby foes. He is being censured, after all. Phill Gaston 11:38, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

OK this was really too much^^ But adding buring and some bonus damage against high health foes would it make worth to be an elite spell. I hope Anet reads this beacause I want to use this. :-) --Serina 20:37, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Follow Izzy's page to the Skill Feedback page and post a suggestion on this. I understand we don't want this to be game-breaking, but we do want it to have some sort of utility. FleshAndFaith 13:04, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Related skills

Put a seperate tab relating this skill to Lamentation? I think both do same damage, same purpose but this one is elite.--ShadowFog 16:31, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Not. Even. CLOSE!

If they function similarly, then you put them on the related page. Lamentation and WoC dont relate in functionality at all. If we relate things according to damage and recharge, every kills would have 5-6 things related to it. >_> ~Phill Gaston ‎ 08:05, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
