Talk:List of common skills

I'm just curious about what is the difference between this list and List of PvE-only skills. It seems redundant. Also, isn't Courageous Was Saidra technically not a skill. Tedium 01:53, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

• The only difference I see is this list is missing quite a few skills that are on the other list, and Resurrection Signet is PvP and PvE Fall 16:09, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

I found out in game that sorting skills by profession creates a common heading. So I'm assuming that's what this list is for. I went ahead and copied over most of the tables from List of PvE-only skills. There were a few odd ones I couldn't figure out like filtering out all the Sunspear skills except the rebirth signet. Also, the headings could probably be renamed and organized better. I just took the same headings from the list and left the others that were originally there. Should the celestial skills still be in this list even though you receive one based on your profession? Tedium 05:34, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

I'd say yes...if we list Junduru and Siege Devourer skills, we should also add these. They all cannot be technically learned and equipped in an outpost. —ZerphaThe Improver 22:34, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

i disagree. common means everybody can use the skill. profession dependent skills are not usable by everyone. --VVong|BA 22:38, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

oh right...i forgot about the ress signet and the pages name and merely only beared the Pve skills in mind. —ZerphaThe Improver 22:46, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Why are the Title effects on the list of common skills? Since they're not skill bar skills, I don't think they should be on here. Dargus 20:34, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Agreed. They are more like toggleable effects linked to attributes, since they are never actually activated. Changing them to effects would do the trick, but the effect infobox does not allow attributes. MithTalk 23:37, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Mission-specific common skills

Should they be included here or not? Currently an article has 2 such skills: Disarm Trap and Vial of Purified Water from Nightfall. However, EotN mission-specific forms are missed: Raven Blessing (A Gate Too Far) and Volfen Blessing (Curse of the Nornbear). It's an inconsistency, I suppose... --Slavic 11:48, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

If they should be included, they should ALL be included. I know that there are more of these, like those in the Punchout Tournament. All or nothin. MiraLantis 22:45, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

I think it's better to mirror the game as much as possible. "Common" in the skills and attributes panel refers only to skills that can be learned. Another term should be coined for those temporary special skills any profession can use. I'll use "Temporary" for now, feel free to change that. MithTalk 00:08, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
