Call of Sky effect issues

Incoming wall of text.

First order of business:

Call of Sky appears to be missing its pushback component, as far as I can tell?

Push Back: 1

Second item:

I'm gonna be a complete hypocrite by trying to disprove the source I just cited, but I'm almost certain that Call of Sky Strike wasn't an actual stun. I would specifically use Call of Sky when not tanking because Call of Fire was too much aggro.

Comments on an admittedly Luclin item

Quote:

Actually, it is 35 DD + small knockback.

Small knockback = interrupt

Quote:

this isnt a stun. Just a 35dd proc. As a level 60 ranger ive never seen it interrupt a spell. Either me using it or other rangers. Its a nifty spell but nothing special

Quote:

Call of Sky is a 35DD + 1foot Knockback, not a stun, and it has a VERY small chance to interrupt casting. Call of Fire (55 spell) is the one that stuns, also has a 65dd, and interrupts casting just like a stun spell FYI ;)

Another not classic source

Quote:

Anyone know what the actual effect of this proc is? Thanks.

Update: 35 DD and small knockback.

The era-appropriate comments I can find aren't as explicit.

mix this w/ call of sky, and you wind up getting proc's near constantly... if it isn't a 35dd proc plus knockback, it'll be a 60dd w/ an ac debuff

its proc along with Call of Sky (level 39 spell, gives all equipped weapons a chance to proc a 35 point DD with a 1 foot knockback <and possibly a VERY quick stun, according to some)can really help with damage dealing.

Moderate to Resist is the same lure as Flame of the Efreeti and Natures Holy Wrath procs.

Curious. What is the purpose of increase strength (1) on an instant duration spell?

Does it cancel any existing strength buffs on the target or what? Does it make aggro in a similar way to AC modifiers do?

I'm not sure, but that was later changed to a zero sec stun.

2003-08-06 10:17 Changed Slot 3 from "Increase STR by 1" to "Stun(0.00 sec)"

That helps that the name was changed too, thanks.

That isn't being a hypocrite, that is good science/research.
