Talk:Retreat

Page retreat?

What about a page Retreat in the sense of directly moving away from your target? | Corvus 18:14, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Or does anybody have a better idea how to call it? Retreat is a little bit confusing because of the guardian skill "Retreat" | Corvus 15:16, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

So you're suggesting a split away from a redirect? What kind of articles would link to it? --Xu Davella 18:59, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

For example: Roll for Initiative, Hornet Sting, Burning Retreat | Corvus 19:02, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Ah OK. I'd recommend a section added to the Body Direction article (which could also be re-written to suit.) That way, all of the skills that are influenced by physical placement can be placed in there. As long as the information is clear, I'm happy. --Xu Davella 19:07, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

EDIT: that comment made me sound like a pompus prick. please excuse me while i go to bread. --Xu Davella 19:11, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

I suggest a seperate page and a link to it on the Body Direction page. Same goes for Leap attack | Corvus 13:08, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

EDIT: I am going to create it, simply delete it if it is not okay | Corvus 13:10, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Is there not a better way of naming this, that doesn't conflict with the 'retreat!' skill? Withdraw, escape... i'm just brainstorming? Kaloce 11:05, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Withdraw is a skill as well. Maybe "evade". I don't know. Since English is not my native tongue i don't know that many words. | Corvus 12:50, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Or "elude". The word used in most of the descriptions is "retreat". | Corvus 12:51, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Avoid, back away, draw back, elude, escape, evade, fall back, move back, recede, recoil, reel, withdraw - a shortened list of synonyms to retreat. Anyways, do we need this page? I think a "moving skills" which could combine the idea of skills forcing a fall back alongside Leap attack. Or, alternatively, we can use this name and just slap "skills" onto it to help differentiate, and make this article into a disambig page. -- Konig/talk 11:15, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

It's not truly a retreat for most of these skills.

This article should be moved to "Retreat (movement)" or something and have Retreat redirect to the shout. Then have an other uses on "Retreat" and the articles could coexist (though this is not by any means necessary as per Konig).

But in short, this article (not the content) should be redirecting to the skill. The skill has priority over the mechanic. - Infinite - talk 12:18, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
