'Balthazar bless my strength, teach my hands to war, and my fingers to fight.' - Guild Wars Forums

So I'm out doing the Amalek bounty, and this line appears in the chat window in the regular green text. I have no clue what it means, where it came from, any significance it may have.

Has anyone seen this? I tried posting in from Tinypic but apparently the current -noscript bot checker has borked it from working.

i think it's when ebon sniper support gets a successful "headshot"

Keiran Thackeray has his version of the skill . I assume he was your random helper.

"Balthazar bless my strength, teach my hands to war, and my fingers to fight," is a reference to the 144th Psalm in the Christian Bible, which includes the phrase, "Blessed be the Lord, my strength, who teacheth my hands to war and my fingers to fight." Notably, the movie Saving Private Ryan includes a sniper who recites similar lines."

i got that from wiki. i know what you are talking about when they say those lines. its part of the"ebon vanguard sniper support skill". I saw it awhile ago when i used the skill.

you can also find the other quotes you cna get from the skill here http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Ebon_...Sniper_Support its a fun lil skill

We used to run around yelling Snap! Headshot! all the time after crap died...

Was fun while I used that skill but I don't use it much anymore.
