Blade Flurry

Starchmonk · 12-03-2004, 10:06 PM

As far as I can tell you really only want to use this when you are either soloing, or in a group only fighting one mob as it does have a chance to hit other creatures. It is very bad in groups with an enchanter with breaking mezzes. Is there anything else to know about this skill?

I don't group with chanters all that often since crowd control really isnt crucial but in the times I have they havent complained about mez breaks. I think this is another one where the description is a tad off since it always appears you hit your current target. I would just keep it up all the time though since its free extra damage.

Have never seen it hit other targets. I keep it on. Constently. Its more than worth it to do so.

Ditto. I have never seen it hit any mob other than the one I am on. I keep it on all the time regardless of the group makeup. The extra hits are well worth it.

I have never seen it hit other targets in the area either. I keep it up always, solo or grouped. When I am hunting non-aggressive mobs, I never hit the ones standing beside my current target. This leaves me to believe that it definatly does not hit other targets - however, it could just be a very small chance that it will.

Yeah, the description of it is a worded a bit deceptively, but I have not seen it hit other mobs other than the one I am targeting.

I noticed the other night that I had extra attacks in my battle spam called "Swipe" and "Brutal Barshings." I assume these are the extra attacks given by Blade Flurry. They hit for more than a regular attack.

I've never broken a mez with it, and I have it on 100% of the time.

Brutal Barshings is not from Blade Flurry I don't think. Maybe someone else in the group cast a buff on you?

Nope, I was soloing Larkblister in the Peat Bog when I saw this. I wasn't grouped and no one was around.

Quai · 12-07-2004, 02:25 AM

Nope--it doesn't break Mez. I keep it on and have grouped with plenty of 'Chanters who know their art.

Pounce, however...

Phro · 12-07-2004, 03:28 PM

cant recall breaking mezz.. but im sure.. or.. pretty sure SMILEY

that when soloing a duo mob (you know .. like two of them SMILEY

) that while i was wailing at the first one the other mobs health bar have popped up and it have taken dmg... have to look into it SMILEY

maybe it dmgs, but as its not an "actual hit per se" it doesnt break mezz's?

Mjk_cz · 12-07-2004, 04:22 PM

I have it 100% of time, Never broke mezz with it.

Phro · 12-07-2004, 04:40 PM

Ive never broken mezz aswell.. not that i have noticed or gotten aggro from the grp chanter SMILEY

BUT im almost 100% sure ive seen other mobs in the encounter when soloing taking dmg when im not actually hitting it .. but ill look into it more.. maybe SMILEY
