Near-duplicates[edit]

The Kurzick and Luxon skills are nearly duplicate skills. The only differences between each pair of skills are the linked title and icons. Both versions share the same name, and, unlike other duplicates skills, a player cannot have both versions on their skillbar at the same time.
