No one has found Punishing Shot yet? :-/

What I have concluded: Smuk Fumbuul DOES NOT have battle rage. The people that started the thread stating that he does are lying assholes who think it's funny to waste people's time.

After fighting him SEVEN times, for around 7-15 minutes EACH time and trying ANY NUMBER of things to get him to use it I have concluded that I have been had.

As a matter of fact, any of the people who claim that they have battle rage will get THIRTY PLATINUM from me if they whisper me in game, group with me, and simply USE the skill. That's it for THIRTY PLAT.

i prob did the same number of tries as you and only had to stop cuz a henchy decided to force me to instance.oy.

thing is id really like the devs to explain/update us about all the elites if they did anything to them or will be doing to them..anything..to counter some of the inconsistencies about SOC/skills.

all elite skills come from bosses and you need to use "signet of capture".
use search words "signet of capture" or "soc" to get more info on it.

If you go to capture an elite skill and you already have on equipped, the one you have equipped will remain when you capture the new one. The new one will be taken off the skillbar when you get back tot town though.

Sup every one. Does anyone know where Defy Pain [Elite ] skill is. I have looked everywhere from forum to forum. When I emailed GuildWars.com they sent me this
"Greetings,

Thanks for contacting the Guild Wars Support Team. I have searched a number of the fan sites myself , and i too have yet to find the location of Defy Pain. Unfortunately, i do not have the location nor the way to get this elite skill.

Thanks,"

This is the last skill I need for the warrior I am making.

P.S. Are there skills that haven't been put in the game?

Xennon · May 25, 2005, 01:53 AM // 01:53

Someone said that defy pain comes from the warrior pinesoul in frozen forest (see http://www.xennon.co.uk/eliteskills/ for a map). This is however UNCONFIRMED, so it could be inaccurate.

madness2k4 · May 25, 2005, 02:51 AM // 02:51

I've spent 2 hours seraching back and forth in snake dance trying to capture Earth Shaker from Kor Stonewrath. I've been to Xennon's site and brought the location map up and locate where I can find the boss. I'm at that location now and I cannot find that boss there.
See screenshot below.

At the moment I feel like I've been running around that whole place like a headless chicken...

Xennon · May 25, 2005, 02:54 AM // 02:54

Trust me, he appears there. I mapped the place myself. If he isn't there then u just have to zone out and in again and try again. Bosses do not always spawn, and they sometimes have multiple spawn points (tho that is the only place I have ever seen him)

OrangeArrow · May 25, 2005, 03:33 AM // 03:33

While Kor Earth shaker does spawn there the mjaority of the time a griffron boss usually spawns there. most of the time Kor Spawns near Radamon the collector closer to the middle of snakes dance.

either way takes some time to get to him.

Muke · May 25, 2005, 03:36 AM // 03:36

Xennon why do you still have Smuk listed as having Battle Rage? Haven't enough people wasted enough time yet? Have you personally captured the skill? It would seem he doesn't have it when 2 anonymous people say they got it from him and 20 say they've tried for countless hours to no avail.

If I were to make a scam I would make a post that I got it and then make a secondary account and back up my false story... So, let's go looking elsewhere for said skill cause it sure as hell isn't on Smuk.

Everyone who says that such and such a boss doesn't use Stance X, I have a few quotes for you.

Xma, it might be an idea to make this slightly clearer in the first post, although people really should be reading the first post before replying to a thread.

Confirmed. I have no screenshot, but it's there for sure. I canceled the cap because I was out of skill points and needed a different skill, but the capture began.

Go to Guild-hall.net and check the forums there. There are a couple of screenshots, one of a person unlocking the skill, and another from someone else showing it in their skill bar with the popup description. While its possible these were faked, I personally believe they are true, and because of that I am leaving it on the list.

I would also like to point out that I do NOT add or alter information on my list 'just because someone said so'. I only alter info on my list for things I have seen personally, seen believable screenshots of, or been confirmed by a number of people. Even when people say 'I confirm getting this skill from XXX' that doesn't make me mark it as confirmed. While I appreciate the information, and I mark it down, I wait til I have a number of 'confirmations' before I actually confirm it on the list (so don't stop sending me confirmation mails guys :-D )

I do this to make sure that the info on the list is as accurate as possible.

P.S If you send me a screenshot of capping a skill and a map location it will be added immediatly as confirmed :-)

RepinsMirg · May 25, 2005, 05:36 PM // 17:36

Sitting here at the forum with GW in windowed mode I made it just to where it is me Smukk Foombool and a healer henchman sent the rest to there deaths. Going to be at it all day just using my slow spells and my ward against melee and running away when he is almost dead to let him get hit HP back.

EDIT: After 30 minutes he has lost the will to fight he just sits on the mountain side looking off the edge doesn't care if I hit him or anything =P

Still trying non-stop sence last post it is 12:11PM.

Muke · May 25, 2005, 07:38 PM // 19:38

Orbhit Barkwood does NOT have defy pain. I have fought him five times now. Here is why I know he doesn't have it other than the fact that he didn't use it in the 30+ minutes I have fought him.

He uses hammer bash which as you probably know makes you lose all adrenaline. Defy pain NEEDS adrenaline and therefore he can't use it. SO, during a slow fight (10+ minutes with just me and 2 healer henchies) I got to thinking maybe he won't use it because he isn't taking enough damage fast enough to make him use the emergency defy pain instead of just hammer bash?

Wrong, in a quick fight vs me and several henchies (this was the fifth and last fight) he still didnt use it. As a matter of fact he used hammer bash with his last breath which costs more adrenaline than defy pain so if he did have defy he would have used it.

So the other two guys probably starting capping endure pain and thought it was defy. Endure would make a lot more sense as it uses mana and not adrenaline and this guy burns his adrenaline.

Back to searching.

RepinsMirg · May 25, 2005, 07:45 PM // 19:45

Hmm I just noticed something. Every class so far has found an elite that needs captured from thirsty river except warrior. Could it be that one of our not found ones is hiding there?

EDIT: 1:00pm PST still going from the very first post still no elite skill.
EDIT: 1:30pm still nothing
EDIT: 1:53pm and stopping 3 and 1/2 hours of boredom is enough for me mostly for a skill I will most likely not use

WynterLegacy · May 25, 2005, 10:10 PM // 22:10

Actually no. In my many repeated trips trying to get Arkhel Havenwood to spawn, I ran into Orbhit Barkwood and got Defy Pain first time. I was a W/E and had 7 henchies with me. I initially hit him down to like 3/4 of his health, murdered the 3 Imps with him while toggling him and constantly spamming SoC, then during my fight with him he used it. Just keep trying. I'd post a screenshot but we all know how those go down.

Muke · May 25, 2005, 10:39 PM // 22:39

Ugh......off to try for the sixth time.....

You're not the same guy who said he got battle rage off of Smuk are you? :P
