Nerve Strike

Ability information#

Requirements#

• Requires the equipped weapon’s assigned primary/secondary slot, normally 70/90 base weapon skill and (unless overridden below) 70/90 base Tactics. Use Best Weapon Skill can satisfy the weapon threshold with base Swords, Macing or Fencing.
• Unavailable under the current shard skill policy: the explicit secondary skill is disabled.
• Explicitly requires Bushido base 50; this skill is disabled. An already-paralyzed defender rejects OnBeforeSwing.

Effects#

• Source implementation under the active ML rules: adds armor-ignoring physical damage equal to truncate(15 × (Bushido - 50)/70 + random integer 0–9).
• If not already immune, paralysis chance is (150/7 + 4 × Bushido/7)/100. Success paralyzes for two seconds and starts eight seconds of shared immunity.

Notes#

• No current weapon declares this ability. The active ML branch still deals the extra damage when the victim is immune to paralysis.
• Base mana is reduced by the shared ability skill-total discount and Lower Mana Cost rules; a second paid ability within the three-second cooldown costs double.
