Usage[edit]

the last time I used this skill was 2 years ago, I wouldn't use it again even if it would give me god mode for 10 seconds, the 60 recharge pretty much kills it 29 August 2007 (CDT)

I didn't even know this skill existed until just now. Although it might get some use in PvE if you combined Serpent's Quickness/Quickening Zephyr and the dwarven skill that extends stances (drunken master?). Silavor UserSilavorSigIcon.png 22:47, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
SQ+this won't work, as they are both stances. However, QZ+this would work, but the recharge is still too long me thinks. 70.126.107.48 22:12, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
Both Serpent's Quickness and Deadly Paradox affect the stances that end them last time I checked. RitualDoll 15:58, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
As far I know, your current stance will end before you activate the new one, so neither would work. Deadly Paradox Deadly Paradox at least used to work with stances and was used to keep Dark Escape Dark Escape up longer, but an updated changed it so it is no longer does. --Boogy User Boogy Sig.jpg (Talk/Contributions) 16:15, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
Grapple and "On Your Knees!" with Dryder's Defenses or Lightning Reflexes. DD for W/R and LR for R/W. <>208.117.81.49 12:58, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
I don't think i've ever used Oath Shot without also taking Dryder's Defense. Alt f four 09:20, 9 December 2008 (UTC)


Regardless, it seems pretty poor to me with that uptime (1/6). Same reason as Warrior's Cunning never sees the light of day. Astralphoenix777 10:29, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

The recharge time can be offset by using Assassin's Promise. It works pretty well. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 77.166.63.187 (talk) at 15:51, 5 November 2009 (UTC).
Its sad that even with QZ and the dwarven skill, that has the potential to double stance lenght, you still cannot maintain this. Its effects are "huge" which results in the rediculous recast time. In order for it to get a buff it needs to be nerfed...if that makes any sense. Justice 01:09, 11 January 2010 (UTC)


Try using with Air of Superiority. If you or your party can kill fast, you can also kill the recharge. I use it as a panic defense skill on my Ele bar designed around AoS and it works pretty good, especially when you're PuGing. ...Course, that won't help you in PvP.
