Tactical Information
Being one of the few fast skills in the Champion's arsenal, Merciful Strike is best used immediately after skills that have a short animation (such as Swift Strike), or immediate skills (such as Clobber). Having no off-hand component, this skill deals more damage with a two-handed weapon.
During Fervour stance, this skill will consume Fervour instead of adding 2.
