Channeled skill?

Does anybody know whether this is a channeled skill or not? It sounds and looks like one | Corvus 21:14, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

I agree but don't know. --ஸ Kyoshi 21:33, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Updated Skill Description

• Changed skill text to reflex in-game description. Linked directly to Push, vs knockback > Push. Reordered the effects to match in-game.

>> PLEASE HELP WITH CODING INFO <<

• Based on my experience with gw1 wiki's, skill descriptions have always been the verbatim, in-game descriptions.
• The description of any effects are separate in gw2 skills. I believe they should ALSO be verbatim as per the in-game descriptions.
• Is there a way to modify {Skill fact|push|100}

 Knockback: 100

to have the Push icon/linking, but display the ACTUAL in-game description of "Knockback distance: 100"? I know how to do [LINK|displayed link name], but that's it.   Frostty1 13:10, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

{{Skill fact}} takes an alt= parameter that overrides the default effect name. You'd want {{Skill fact|push|alt=Knockback distance|100}}

 Knockback distance: 100

Thanks "Doc" :-)

I figured there had to be an easy way... but I know next to nothing about HTML or coding or w/e it's called. I wouldn't have even know what to try to Google. LoLz... It's not like trying to Google "html font colour"!!!   Frostty1 14:51, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Sequence Skill

This skill has a follow up skill which allows you to "detonate" the shield which will heal your allies. I didn't manage to get any screenshots or anything, unfortunately. :| ~ ♥ Kailani! ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ 01:33, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

I noticed that too but I couldn't find a way to activate that skill. Also there wasn't any healing information (I.E. heals for XX) in the skill description which leads me to believe that the "skill description" was simply a place holder for when they add the skill proper. 130.76.32.78 01:52, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

I managed to activate it, and there was a kind of misty explosion. I was a full health so I couldn't see any healing numbers. :S ~ ♥ Kailani! ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ 13:15, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Do you remember what the icon looked like at all? Did it reuse an existing guardian skill icon? I screencapped all skill descriptions, but now that sequence skills appear stacked with their primary skill, I didn't bother activating anything. —Dr Ishmael 14:16, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Yes, it was different - there was a yellow-ness to it. Sorry I can't be more help. ~ ♥ Kailani! ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ 23:14, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Ah! I found this. It should the description and the icon as it appeared in the most recent stress test. :) ~ ♥ Kailani! ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ 23:16, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Detonate not working?

My friend and I cannot get the detonate to work for the ability. We've tried everything from just activating it out of battle, to activating it and blocking a projectile, to activating it with and without full health, and all it does is channel for a few seconds and then end. We can't get the heal effect to work. 173.69.23.64 05:28, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

The skill is currently broken in PVE. SPvP it works fine. They really need to fix this. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.87.103.112 (talk).

AOE based on character size?

From what I have noticed, the aoe of this skill is huge when on a big character (like a Norn) and minimal when on a small Asuran? This can't be for real? -- Staples - talk 19:25, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

k, with a little testing, the actual AOE is the same, however the graphics for the small person make it look like the aoe is much smaller. -- Staples - talk 19:38, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

World vs. World

Could other people confirm that this doesn't work against any projectile siege in WvW? then we can include this on the page itself. Hultah Hassmore 15:09, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
