Usage
''Note: The maximum attack speed debuff is 50%, thus if used in conjunction with Faintheartedness, no additional decrease will occur. However, if the target is using an attack speed increase skill, such as Frenzy or "I Will Avenge You!", the attack speed decrease from this skill stacks with the speed decrease from Faintheartedness up to the maximum debuff.''

This skill is particularly devastating against Warriors, both because they rely heavily on attacks to do damage, and because forcing them to attack slower causes them to gain Adrenaline at a much slower rate. This skill slows down not only the rate at which they attack normally, but also the rate at which they use attack skills.

When combined with Enfeebling Blood, this skill is a brutally effective way of neutering groups of enemy Warriors or Rangers.
