2 questions regarding glimmering:

Will heros use this skill correctly, as in, are they smart enough not to target the foe they just put mark on?

and

What exactly counts as a skill targeting the enemy? Do attack skills / pet attack skills end it?

Any skill you use that targets that foe will end the skill. I'm not sure about pet attacks, but yes attack skills count.

How can you NOT get that? a skill, any thing on#1-8 on you're bar are called a "skill".

you could take 15 minutes and go to isle of the nameless with a hero and a pet and answer both of those questions.

I understand what a skill is. What I was wondering, is which skills actually count as targeting.

Thats what I figured, but thought I'd ask to find out.

Yeah, I realize this. At the moment, I don't have a pvp character slot open or a character with all the skills I'd want to test. Once I can, I will.

i honestly am not trying to be offensive but you can take any of your ele heroes, give him /R and tame any level five tiger or something, throw glim mark and some pet attacks on his bar, and you should get your answer against master of damage. i realize this takes a little more than 15 minutes to do this way but i don't know that anyone has the answers you're looking for atm and if they do, they certainly aren't speaking up.

also you shouldn't triple post.

EDIT: also if you have heroes unlocked on your account and have any pvp characters, you can add an ele or ranger hero to your pvp character and try the same kind of thing with Master of Damage.

Will do, and I didn't think you were trying to be offensive at all.

Not trying to troll, but why would you use Glimmering Mark? It's a pretty awful elite :/

I'm just trying to come up with some new strategies to try out. I'm tired of using "popular" builds, but I do realize that they are popular because they work well.

In case anyone else was wondering about this:
Did some testing and came up up, as expected, attack skills end it, pet attacks do not, Heros are too stupid to not end it.

Edit by Commander RykerI merged these 2 and the 3 above in to 2 seperate posts. You can always your post instead of making a new one.
