So, i got my duskblade to 79 and got this skill. I have to say, it allows for some neat strategies like the BM's heaven's flame or the BIDS from the wizard to use against them. What i'm disappointed about this skill is that it currently works only on hostile targets (and not allies). Now i've seen the patch with the sage/demon skills that introduced the change to use it on allies in the chinese servers, and hopefully we'll get that change.

For the people that have this skill learned, what are your thoughts on this skill? I know it's early since most duskblades aren't at this level yet. All in all, loving the skill so far.

    I could see myself blink movement in the middle of a squad DG and aoe with Eternity since it does good DD and help with chi and let my squad support me or a secondary DG to add onto bms. Also if you are being focused steal invoke pop anti stun and get the hell out. Very situational hell a black ice dragon on a squad may be just what I need now if that skill can zerk like my seekers magic skills GG to HA and some LA lol b:laugh

    I think the skill is so far useless to use against archers, venos, sins, and other duskblades.

    The classes to take a skill from when you can is most likely going to be, in descending order...

    Blademaster -> 75% version of HF
    Psychic -> 75% chance version of SoR
    Mystic -> Falling Petals
    Barbarian -> 60% version of invoke
    Wizard -> Black Ice Dragon Strike, deals magic damage, can it zerk?
    Stormbringer -> Their AoE reel in tornado thing...great for setting up Slash of Pride or Settling Ripple
    Cleric -> Ironheart, if you have high defense and attack (endgame gear perhaps?) it can heal a ton
    Seeker -> 75% chance for QPQ, but I don't see it being overly useful on an LA class...

    What I find interesting is that if the skill being mimic'd costs chi, it costs the same chi for you, too.

    As for it only being use don hostile targets, a month after PWCN got the update that was changed, hopefully in a month we will see the same change.

    My duskblade is lvl 98 and found this skill usefull against bms also in pve since it deals extra damage against non player targets. It seems every pve target gives this skill even guards lol

    One of the funniest ways to use that skill is in FWS.

    Even while we waiting the patch that will correct the "only foes" issues, FWS has something special about duels, right ?

    You cannot hit your target while dueling in Warsong. Meaning, ask a duel to ur BM or Wizzy or w/e u prefer before your team strike the bosses.

    During that fight u have multiple Reflections to cast. Just aim ur duel opponent, then switch back to the boss...

    Boss will be hit normally by HF, IBDS, and others.

    --> Duskblades in FWS, btw should try to solo Wood or Earth pavs, and practice timing of resist skills alongside with "Let's die togheter" mobs.
