Talk:Skill coil

Actually, 'Skill coil' means any monkey with one working finger can play a warlock with it...it takes no skill at all, just hit the button. --Azaram 23:56, 5 March 2007 (EST) (<-- this comment was from when this page was 'Skill Coil' and consisted of someone saying 'Skill Coil refers to the fact that using death coil requires skill'. Azaram again.)

Ermh, though playing a warlock is by some considered easy, you cannot win just by hitting a button. Teabingh 14:12, 6 May 2007 (EDT)


 * In my opinion, this page needs 1 of 3 things: deleted, a redirect to death coil, or changed to say WoW gamers use it to describe death coil. And the only proposed changes to it were from WoW gamers as well, after the change to add the horror effect the only nerf it has really received will be in 2.1.0 when they give it diminishing returns on its horror effect.  14:30, 6 May 2007 (EDT)

Because of the cool-down, I don't understand how this could be considered a nerf. Why not merge the two articles? Teabingh 15:33, 6 May 2007 (EDT)


 * I fail to see the point of this article anyway. :/ 15:37, 6 May 2007 (EDT)

Well, Tea, all it really does is prevent a group of warlocks chain coiling. 15:40, 6 May 2007 (EDT)

Never experienced that myself, but perhaps it's an issue in battlegrounds.

The article is of no help whatsoever. Yes, some people refer to Death Coil as Skill Coil. Make the Skill Coil article consist of just one line saying that. And honestly. You'd think whoever made the article would've done a little research beforehand. 'The reason for this is the un-dispel-able horror effect'; Death Coil is a debuff that leaves you horrified but is quite dispellable.

'it has been proposed to reduce the range of the spell from 30 yards to six yards'; by whom? Not a Blizzard poster, that's for sure, or there would be a link or citation. It's just hearsay in the forums and plain misleading.

'countless of whining posts, more nerf cries than perhaps for any change in the game' and this part makes it sound like anyone who complains against Death Coil is just a whining noob. What authority does the guy who made the article have to make such a claim? To disregard their arguments so capriciously?

I'd edit the page myself and deliver the one-liner that is needed (Skill Coil is the name some players refer with to the Warlock ability Death Coil; the name implies, jokingly or otherwise, that correct use of Death Coil requires considerable skill from the Warlocks' part), but it'll probably just be re-edited.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. 14:55, 27 May 2007 (UTC)Taznak


 * Since, as stated above, this page is rather spurious i'm going to make it redirect to death coil. The use of "skill coil" as a derogatory nickname for the spell is already mentioned on the death coil page anyways; i'll edit that mention to provide a bit more detail. Squar 02:00, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
