Ability warrior shockwave
  • Shockwave
  • Stunned.
  • Duration: 2 seconds

Shockwave is a warrior class talent. It deals a small amount of damage and stuns all targets struck for 2 seconds in a point-blank area of effect cone.

Tips and tactics[]

  • Use right after a pull in a group of mobs, then Spell nature thunderclap [Thunder Clap], wait for the stun effect to wear off and use Ability defend [Shield Block] for initial damage mitigation and good threat boost.
  • Can be used to (mass) interrupt and to stun fleeing mobs, if timed correctly.
  • Shockwave should not be used while damage mitigation abilities such as Ability defend [Shield Block] are active, unless incoming damage is overwhelming.
