Curse

Ok so i was looking at 2 elites in particular that seem to have swapped names (based on their effects)

The skills in question are Siphon and Spirit Strike. I came to this conclusion after noticing Anet's way of creating Elite versions of skills (i.e. how Wither is the elite version of Malaise)

Siphon - Target foe is struck for 15...51 lightning damage. If you are holding an item, you gain 5 energy and 15...51 Health.

Ok..and does'nt this seem similar to ..

Essence Strike - Target foe is struck for 15..51 lightning damage. If any spirits are in the area around you, you gain 1..7 energy.

Basicly its the Elite version of Essence Strike. Also does'nt Spirit Strike have a similar effect as Spirit Siphon ?

Spirit Strike - Sacrifice 17% maximum Health. Gain 5...13 Energy. If any Spirits are in the area, you do not sacrifice Health (the name here makes NO sense at all ? )

Spirit Siphon - Target spirit loses all Energy. You gain 15..27% of that Energy

So in conclusion would'nt it make more sense for Siphon and Spirit Strike to switch names ? ( Siphon should be the name of the elite spirit siphon , and Spirit Strike should be the name of the elite essence strike ? that would make more sense to me ! )

hope i was'nt to confusing

Yeah, they're definately the wrong way round. Report it and see if you can get them switched

I agree, i noticed this when I played with the new rit skills, and I was scratching my head with the possible mix up.

I hope they don't keep the two names, they dont make much sense as they are now.
