Vaporblade is a dagger skill...is that a pun?Arcdash 12:15, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
- Well, with the dagger being the only "melee" weapon elementalists can equip, it had to go somewhere. - Infinite - talk 21:17, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
Reflection[edit]
"This is a piercing projectile attack with AoE effect" - so does it get reflected by skills, that reflects projectiles, e.g. Feedback, or it's a form of speech? MalGalad 15:59, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
- All projectile attacks have a certain path which they travel through, which is their "area of effect". Piercing attacks can pass through foes, essentially making all these kind of attacks line area of effect attacks, since the width of the line is much greater than the true size of the projectile. I just removed the redundant note about AoE and stuff because that's how all piercing attacks work, they pass through all foes and apply all of their effects to all foes hit by the attack, although I suppose glancing hits are more likely against non-targeted foes provided they are not positioned in a straight line. But yes, like all projectiles, Vapor Blade can be reflected, blocked, etc. Mediggo (talk) 06:10, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks, I was confused by the fact, that in-game description doesn't mention it is a projectile. The main reason for this question - Bokkworm's Bwikki Vapor Blades are extremely deadly, wanted to find a tactics ;) MalGalad 18:25, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
Attack speed post update[edit]
This appears to have around 517-533ms per attack after August 23 update without quickness. With quickness it drops to around 351-367ms. --Life Infusion «T» 03:21, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
