"What are Combat abilities?"[edit]
Per your question on Dash's WoG:
- Abilities are the description beneath the health bar. It's short for "Abilities description" really.
- Behavior are unique or uncommon actions the NPC takes, like retreating once hitting 25% health (though that's rather common) or having a downed state (like Toxic Courtiers). Sometimes these are better off in a Walkthrough on the relevant event, story instance, dungeon, or raid page though.
- Effects are the icons beneath the health bar and abilities description - so the effects on itself. This can and does include the defiance bar.
- Skills are the actual skills NPCs use - use the combat log to see their names.
- Stolen skills are the skills thieves get when using Steal on them - Epic ranked foes and objects have none.
Additional notes because:
- If there's ever a section that should be empty, delete it rather than saying 'none' or the like.
- If it's a generic NPC that has multiple skillsets, such as the Son of Svanir NPCs, then as you see there use a === Level 3 Header=== with a basic, brief, and clear descriptor of the differences (such as different weapons used being the most common).
This and other questions should be answered at Guild Wars 2 Wiki:NPC formatting or other formatting pages in the Guild Wars 2 Wiki namespace but feel free to ask about more questions! Konig (talk) 13:07, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
- Since you're new and taking a lot of image shots (whether in general or just for Dash's WoG) just a couple notes I want to point out for improved quality:
- Images of asura NPCs should always be taken on short characters (e.g., asura). This is to avoid the downward angle most of your asura shots have.
- For NPCs that have length to them like charr and four-legged creatures (e.g., griffons, dogs, cats, teragriffs), it's typically preferred (but not overly cared about) to go after a three quarter view as full frontal can look weird or lack certain details and side portraits result in a bad size for the infobox (becomes too small to easily see).
- Still, good work and thank you on the images you've provided. Dungeon foes and story NPCs are always tedious to get (especially personal story NPCs). Konig (talk) 13:24, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

- Also, use lowercase 'a' for 'abilities', not "Combat Abilities", but "Combat abilities". Happy editing, and feel free to ask away if you still help with something. —Ventriloquist 21:04, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
