umm, where do you get this.

Weezer_Blue · Jun 01, 2005, 12:35 AM // 00:35

last mission in the Southern Shiverpeaks - the one where you gotta defend the fortress for a while - one guys that tries to storm the base is a Ranger boss. You can capture it from him. I almost did... but I hit the button too soon, so I ended up getting Tiger's Fury in it's stead... grr... they really need to fix the SoC's so that it automatically captures elite skills or something...

Huntress Hannah · Jun 09, 2005, 02:25 AM // 02:25

thanks weezer, i got the skill and its the best

Wow, this skill is awsom. Talk about great for killing almost anybody. I think of elementalists especially, because they usually have an enchantment on themselves... and they don't always have the greatest self-defences.

Chris Oakes · Jul 29, 2005, 12:34 PM // 12:34

anymore info on where 2 get this skill?

Audhumla · Aug 08, 2005, 01:42 AM // 01:42

It's in the Frozen Forest as well. One of the spawns is pretty near Copperhammer Mines.

I loved the time I capped it in Frozen Forest, I had poison arrow as my elite with a sig of cap. I capped this, and used it, then i was spamming poison arrow all over, to summits, my poison arrows does poison and bleeding! To azure shadows, since they dont have flesh they cant poison or bleed, but they use retribution and holy wraith, thats 20 extra dmg per arrow i do to them thanks to melandrus arrows. Excellent preparation this is.

GerM · Aug 24, 2005, 04:33 AM // 04:33

u can get it near the top of snake dance

Sep 18, 2005, 10:41 PM // 22:41

what is the name of the boss in frozen forest?

LynGrey · Oct 21, 2005, 04:35 AM // 04:35

This skill makes me sad that its a prep =\ which it was just a bow attack =) But its awesome very good agianst mages and monks.

I've been playing with this as my elite in the Competition Arenas for a few days, and I've had great success. Elementalists, most monks, and many W/Mo's have cursed my name... however, one or more of my teammates have cursed my name for using that as my elite, most notably an elementalist yesterday. He called me a noob for using Mel's Arrows after we had won 4 in a row, flawlessing one of them. I don't quite understand people's aversion to it... It's 10 energy less than Apply Poison and applies 3 degen as opposed to Apply Poison's 4, and it does more damage than Kindle Arrows, providing the target is enchanted (which in 8v8 is almost a non-issue with Aegis flying around, and in 4v4 Mending and many other Ele and Monk enchants are commonplace). I like it.

Agreed. The same complaint that people have, "No one brings enchantment removal!" means I get to rock a little with MA. Go ahead, enchant yerself! I dare ya!

EDIT: And if anyone is wondering, there is a boss right outside of Deldrimor War Camp who has it!

judge1121 · Nov 03, 2005, 04:58 PM // 16:58

melandrus is so cool. and ya no one does bring removal meaning better hits for rangers. and with dual shot

. the only enchant i hate is RoF and prot spirit make the dmg weaker.

wait I never thought of this...is it possible to equip both an elite skill and signet of capture, then go out and cap a second elite to have both equipped in your skill bar at the same time(and work)? if so it means that you could potentially get combos that the devs did not intend

Rajamic · Nov 04, 2005, 09:42 AM // 09:42

Sure, but the elite(s) you capture will automatically get removed once you enter a town.

And Yeah, I love this skill in Random Arenas too. Kind stinks when you go up against a team that doesn't use enchants. But all those monks who use Boon, Peace and Harmony, etc. I love when Whammos use Breeze on themselves. They think they are saving themselves, when in fact they are actually making themselves weaker than a mage to me!

you can still do it. be a ra/mes and just take a friend /mes and have him equip poison arrow and u take melandrus then arcane mimicry and prepare for uber degen and dmg

for 20 secs at the least

Sister Rosette · Nov 04, 2005, 01:48 PM // 13:48

And since everyone is asking where to get it and such, I'll add this:

It's cappable from EVERY ranger boss in Grenth's Footprint/Sorrow's Furnace.

Happy hunting.

Even if the other team isn't using enchantments it still has merits. It's like a cheap apply poison in that case, because now you can cause bleeding with every shot. 3 pips of degen from a 5 energy prep vs 4 pips of energy degen from a 15 energy prep. And yea, seeing a W/Mo use breeze makes my day... I like it even better when they're using mending
