Am I missing some cool or fun quest where u must use this skill?
I mean to go through all the process of making this button/skill into the game as default.. I would think it had some purpose.

Anyone care to share the knowledge?

Good way to die to a Guard since the nerf. :eek:

There was one quest that I know of that used it. It was in GoD I believe. You did some run around quests in every zone and got this one drop from the boss of every zone and it was very skill intensive and at the end you got either a good augmentation item or a good range slot.

When I left in the game this was the longest quest ever in the game.

Half my skill ups have been in the Sarnak Fort on the mobs there. There may be a limitation, or maybe you just meant humanoid type mobs (no animals, insects, so on...)???

I've gotten plenty of skill-ups on non-humanoid mobs, like rats and beetles. You can't skill up on something that you've aggroed though, has to be before you pull it.

Was this the one that followed the adventures of a wood elf ranger girl and some shady iksar she met in Kelethin? I cant remember what it was called but IIRC it was a very similar animation style as what you just posted

http://www.wtfcomics.com/ maybe?

On live I used to beg from my pet and while I heard tell of players who garnered platinum pieces and fine steel from theirs, mine was never so generous :(

IIRC, CHA affects how much $$$ you get. That might be a myth though.

Yeah I always had it as stuff that speaks, says "Stop thief!" etc when PP'ed, rather than moss snakes and player pets.

Used most effectively to convince wife to come back after she leaves your ass for obsessively playing a 15 year old video game.

Barrel Barge in oasis use to be targettable and could skill up begging and taunt with it. Now the Barge only shows up on track but can't target it..
