Talon 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 Ninjitsu base 50; this skill is disabled. A target already tracked by Talon Strike rejects another application.

Effects#

• Source implementation: adds +20 percentage points to the triggering weapon damage and schedules twelve damage-over-time ticks 0.25 seconds apart, starting immediately.
• Total-damage input is truncate(10 × (Ninjitsu - 50)/70 + 5). Ticks directly subtract Hits instead of calling Damage.

Notes#

• No current weapon declares this ability. Direct Hits subtraction is deliberately used to avoid the ordinary displayed damage/disruption path.
• 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.
