Fight mechanics[edit]

From a few tests, Grasp seem to occur only when a player is farther than 450 from Boneskinner (that's the very first circle of stone). Apparently, can only be cced when summoning wisps Raljeor (talk)

Page Edits[edit]

I have edited the trivia to correct the correlation between the Boneskinner and Wendigos. The previous trivia stated that Boneskinners are based on Wendigos, but this has been corrected because Wendigos have never been depicted in such a way the Boneskinners have and it's extremely offensive to Algonquin-speaking tribes to refer to them like this because Wendgios represent the ultimate evil a person should be, they are not "cool" things to appropriate for fun. The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.31.159.118 (talk).

I further edited the trivia note to be more neutral in stance. We shouldn't focus on cultural or political correctness, but on the facts. ArenaNet did use the wendigo - both original and reinterpretations - as inspiration, and had renamed it from wendigo to boneskinner (I believe this being done to avoid disrespect).
