Wall of Darting Steel

Hi there, can any veteran SM tell me whether WoDS reflected damage (100 spirit dmg everytime you defend, according to Warhammer Online career builder) procs blade enchants?

Also, is it a good ability? I guess it can save the SM ass sometimes, but the reflected damage doesn't seem on paper to dish a lot of pain to any attacker. Also the AP must be a problem to maintain the channelling, as SM isnt a really good AP regenerating nor stealing class afaik.

WoDS should not proc blade enchants, IIRC.

You use WoDS when you're being focused to save your ass, or mmmaayybe as a gap closer to snare someone for your RDPS. It's great that it doesn't slow you down, but it drains AP like mad. Nobody really cares about the damage; it's just a replacement for Hold the Line, trading the everyone-buff for a significant self-buff.

It's a nice flavorful ability, not great, but not bad at all.

Can't Hit Me! (Black orc skill very similar to WoDS except it requires a shield) DOES proc bellows. The damage you do when you defend is considered as you attacking a target, therefore giving you procs. I know because i used to use it with Loudmouth (tactic that damages your target everytime you get a bellow proc).

Don't know about WoDS but from the tooltip description i believe it should definitely proc blade enchantments as well.

WoDS did indeed proc blade enchants as I recall.

Well, it seems like I was wrong then! I rarely got the chance to run 2H in live, but it's good to know that I was wrong.
