Tactical Information

Unlike Whirling Retaliation, this skill can be used directly following a parry, rather than following a Retaliation. It also creates a Retaliation event, allowing the use of Thrust, and Overwhelm.

With the set bonus from the Defender of the Free, this ability will apply the same debuff as the Deep Wound caused by Thrust, on a critical hit. It does not stack with Deep Wound or the Aggravated Deep Wound caused by Salt the Wound. It can, however, be Aggravated by Salt the Wound, just as if you applied it normally.
