I'll move this to the correct page (Talk:Aegis (shield)). Skills don't drop ;) - Anja (talk) 12:52, 1 May 2007 (EDT)

Argh thanks. >_< - BeX 12:55, 1 May 2007 (EDT)

I haven't been looking at the actual article, just navigating the talk pages. :P - BeX 12:56, 1 May 2007 (EDT)

I guessed ;) No harm done anyway. - Anja (talk) 12:57, 1 May 2007 (EDT)

Skill Change

Earshot = Fail. This skill sucks now. Enchantments are easy to strip and its effect wasn't that powerful. More to the point, earshot is worthless. WOOT! 5 less energy and now NO-ONE will be benefited by my spell! Do they wan't to give people more of a reason to run paragons and earshot radius? Dancing Gnome 06:26, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Lol you fail idiot O_O 87.123.51.240 12:31, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Be nice now... -- §Lacky§ says: Sign your comments! 08:08, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Anyone notice that this skill is just nerfed now? in an earlier update they changed it to earshot only, but reduced casting time to 1 and energy to 10. Now they bring back the casting time and energy and monks are left with a nerfed skill. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.174.28.140 (talk • contribs) at 21:15, 30 April 2008 (UTC).

First, sign please (Read Lacky's signature!). Second, I don't know what's more hilarious. Your failure to read, for this had been discussed further down the page as a temporary change, or this comment being the day before the revert. --Chaiyo Kaldor talk contribs 21:01, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

15 Energy

As of today, Aegis costs 15 energy, up from 10. Article is already changed. Gogey 23:17, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Nerf bat. I miss the old Aegis. →[ »Halogod (talk)« ]← 01:51, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

This skill should be moved over to energy storage because no monk will be able to afford to use this skill.William Wallace 05:38, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

That or move Glyph of Lesser Energy over to Divine Favor. DancingZombies 06:06, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

If a monk can't afford the extra 5e for a party-wide block-buff, they have serious e-management problems, and may want to rethink their style/build. --SoraMitsukai 16:58, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Agreed, but it would be nice to have one or the other: a 10 point prot for everyone in earshot or a 15 point prot for everyone within minimap range. I prefer the 15 point-minimap range but, even after the change to earshot, I still used Aegis often. However, 15 points AND limited to earshot seems excessive. I hope this really is temporary. -- SeditiousBroom ♠ my talk page 13:52, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

It also prevents overextending that would otherwise be foolish, so your FOTM melee builds have to think twice before risking a counterspike from a linebacker. IMO, it's fine as is, because it requires good positioning for very powerful effect. --SoraMitsukai 05:46, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

For one, it used to cost 15 energy some time before. Second, the nerf is TEMPORARY. Get over it.

It also used to cover those who overextended outside the monk's casting range for that cost. Regardless, Sora is right. 76.89.81.150 01:22, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Enchantment duration increase?

If used with a +20% enchant mod does this mean Aegis could last 13Sec at 14 Protection Prayers? If so, it should be possible to maintain 50% chance to block with Glyph of Renewal :3 - Byakko 07:36, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

or you can just chain DA for unremovable 50% block. without having to lock your monk to be Mo/E with GoROni 23:29, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Or chain Aegis with two monks. --Boogy (Talk/Contributions) 15:15, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Acquisition

micah fergson in EOTN does not have this skill.212.187.73.45 19:59, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

He does if you've already unlocked it somewhere else. -- Wyn 20:21, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Skill trainers will always offer to teach you unlocked skills (provided it's either core or from the same campaign of the trainer).

Probably 212.187.73.45 was referring to article implying EotN NPC would offer to teach (and unlock) this skill for player who hadn't purchased it yet.

I cannot check this info, cause I've already unlocked every skill so... can't verify which NPC starts offering what skills. Gonna ask a guild mate. --NIN37 20:48, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

This is an ongoing issue, to hopefully resolve it, we have asked for a list of the default skills from ArenaNet, but they have not provided it yet. -- Wyn 20:52, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Just checked this on an account that is not UAX, and this skill is not available in EotN if it's not unlocked.--Pyron Sy 22:45, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Skill Icon

Aegis guy = Turai Ossa?

I'd guess he is, I mean, look at his pauldron and the part of his cuirass that is seen on the icon, they seem to be matching.

--Adul 15:43, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

I agree, perhaps add to notes/trivia? 24.195.246.31 21:42, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry but I have to disagree, the Aegis icon man has a large, bushy beard (larger than Turai's) and it looks like he has long hair. He's also wearing a crown, not Turai's helm. Pauldren is similar, and I do admit their faces are quite similar (though the pauldren is actually different, Mr. Aegis' has a ridge in the center, Turai's is a few inches off. wts some time off my hands, whisp offer) ~ Chao 21:17, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

I added the ghostly hero's picture for additional comparison. 145.94.74.23 08:50, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Looks more like a coincidence rather than a reference, but I don't care if you have your jollies by noting it or not. 68.58.91.59 02:53, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

I don't think this skill icon represents Turai Ossa either. It's a core skill which was available during Prophecies, so unless the Prophecies foretold what Turai Ossa looked like then I don't understand how it could resemble him. They don't look at all similar, either.

Lol

Watch this skill become 10 1 20 : For like 15 seconds, all party members in range block for like 75% lol. →[ »Halogod (talk)« ]← 13:50, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

I would definitely use a skill that interacts with how angry I get. Could definitely be useful when I play with some of my guildies... Norwegian Thunder 13:01, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Lol i'd love a skill that says "For like 15 seconds, all party members in rage block for like 75%" exactly like that.Raging party+like=ftw. :D Super Range Ranger 15:03, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

That description made my day, thanks :D --Teisei 「ページ」 「会話」 11:29, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
