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.
  • No Tactics requirement with a Wrestling weapon. An already-paralyzed defender rejects OnBeforeSwing.

Effects#

  • Paralyzes a player for three seconds or a non-player for six seconds. Damage breaks the paralysis in the active AOS rules.
  • Applies immunity from the time of the hit for paralysis duration + eight seconds: eleven seconds for a player, fourteen otherwise.

Notes#

  • An immune defender still consumes the attacker’s mana. The pre-AOS Anatomy requirement is inactive on this shard.
  • 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.
