Usage & Notes

 * For a low casting cost, this skill does moderately high damage as well a knockdown, making it the ability's trumph card. Because it does both, it will work well with effective results on every class. (Interrupting Warrior's signet of heal, the Signet of Ressurection and more importantly healing monks).


 * Note that this is not a spell but a skill/ability. Hence hexes such as backfire will not work on it. Great to use when damage has to be dealt out at critical moments when you are bogged down with hexes.


 * Two of its big disadvantages is the fact that melee range has to be obtained which is hazardous for an elementalist without protection spells. Exhaustion as always isn't a very good omen for anything, making it virtually unspammable.
