Scythe Ability Question - Guild Wars Forums

[skill]Wounding Strike[/skill]

I am brand new to Dervishes, I've been reading up on them and gathered that scythes can naturally strike 3 foes in 1 sweep. So, if I use Wounding Strike, would I cause bleeding and deep wound to up to 3 foes? or does Wounding Strike just hit 1 direct foe?

Would [skill]Reaper's Sweep[/skill] cause 3 adjacent foes under 50% to have deep wound?

The deep wound, and bleeding in Wounding Strike's case, will effect all foes hit by the attack.

All scythe attack skills will have their effect trigger on every enemy they hit, not just the one you target.

So yes wounding strike can inflict bleeding and deep wound on 3 different targets. Reaper's sweep will inflict deep wound 3 times if you hit 3 enemies who are under 50% health.

basically, if you hit 3 targets, wounding strike looks something like this:

[sever artery][gash] [sever artery][gash] [sever artery][gash]

the main difference is bleeding covers deep wound instead of the other way around...with the ability to spam this effect every 3 seconds, its a very nice attack skill.

I'm not sure on the angle degree, but since it hasn't been mentioned I would like to add that if you target an enemy with a scythe, you only hit up to 2 adjacent enemies if they are in (I think) 90 degree angle in front of your character.

And of course they must be adjacent to your char within that X degrees.
