Um. There's 37 links to this non-existant article. Was this deleted at some point? - Greven 08:09, 20 March 2006 (CST)

no, there are probably 37 articles using the combat-stub template, that was recently invented I believe. -SolaPan 09:01, 20 March 2006 (CST)

Ok, I've put something in there that absolutely says nothing in the context of the combat-stubs. But since it means something totally different from the "combat" in skill descriptions, I am not going to keep it as a redirect (which was what I originally did to the article). -SolaPan 09:18, 20 March 2006 (CST)

Why does the stub exist at all? Was there something particularly wrong with the general stub template? Is there even a reason for a "combat" article to exist? --68.142.14.69 10:08, 20 March 2006 (CST)
Very good question, and I have no answer to most of it. I think there IS a reason for a "combat" article to exist, so people looking up that word when it occurs in skill descriptions can be directed to Attack. But again taht's a different context than this Combat-stub business. -SolaPan 10:12, 20 March 2006 (CST)
If only the two "failure" skills use the term, then I don't think it's worth explaining. "Combat" has no meaning in those descriptions. You can't attempt to hit something outside of combat. There is no distinction being made. I don't think the descriptions would change meaning even if "in combat" was dropped from the skills. Are there other skills that say "combat?" --68.142.14.69 16:48, 20 March 2006 (CST)
Yes. Life Attunement comes immediately to mind, and there are probably others. User:Stabber/Sig 16:52, 20 March 2006 (CST)
And Life Attunement is probably the most important reason we want to make sure the meaning of "combat" is clear too. ie it doesn't include spells or other offensive non-attack skills. -SolaPan 16:56, 20 March 2006 (CST)
If there's something other than life attunement (or maybe, more than a couple others), then okay. But if it's just LA, then keep it in LA as a note. --68.142.14.69 17:13, 20 March 2006 (CST)
The following is the full list of skills have "combat" in their descs as of today: Life Attunement, Price of Failure, Spirit of Failure, Vengeful Was Khanhei. HTH User:Stabber/Sig 18:47, 20 March 2006 (CST)
What does HTH mean? I tried looking it up, but it's not in guildwiki o_O" -SolaPan 18:51, 20 March 2006 (CST)
