Tactical Information

Improved Staff-strike is an even more powerful DPS skill than Staff-strike, dealing 25% more damage, having a 20% higher chance to hit critically, and hitting 50% harder on both critical and devastating hits. It deals even more damage when used in response to a flank event. On top of that, it causes a relatively long stun of five seconds if it hits critically or devastates (and the chance of that to occur is higher than that of other skills).

Improved Staff-strike always deals Light damage, regardless of the damage type of your staff.
