IW combo tested?[]

Has the IW combo been tested?

I thought IW just makes you deal 0 damage, they still count as successful hits (unless you also blind yourself or something. -SolaPan 15:02, 20 March 2006 (CST)

I tested it yesterday - I'm not sure of how it worked before Deflect Arrows was (recently) updated, but it works now. I was a little skeptical that they would work together, but IW won't trigger any effects that occur on hit and this skill is now only ended on hit. --Qian Khan 07:09, 21 March 2006 (CST)

To be honest, ill still use "Shields Up!" instead of this, as for 5 energy more, you can provide 50% to all nearby allies. --86.137.79.37 12:13, 10 October 2006 (CDT)

Another skill icon[]

Some Sealed Play cards has different skill icon than the one in GW, including this one. Wierd. cKow/Dont 19:16, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Projectiles?[]

Technically, Lightning Orb is a projectile, so is the article correct in saying: 'All types of projectile attacks are blocked by this stance.', or does it just mean from weapons. Because then it wouldn't be... all, would it :P Jamster Sig ---Jamster--- 23:32, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

It states "Projectile attacks" whereas L Orb is a Spell. That's the diffrence :) --- VipermagiSig-- (s)talkpage 23:34, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Trivia[]

  • May be a related reference to the movie The Scorpion King in which the warrior Memnon is said to possess the unique ability to deflect arrows from horseback mounted archers.


I wonder[]

why monks dont use this, it basically gives them interrupt immunity from rangers The preceding unsigned comment was added by Taki Fujiko (contribs) .

Why block only arrows 75% of the time when you can block all sorts of attacks 75% of the time? Also, limited skill slots: in the current meta, the greater evil is knockdown, so people take Balanced Stance instead. Entropy Sig (T/C) 09:00, October 5, 2009 (UTC)
