Tactical Information
Staff Strike is a melee skill, and can also be used close to the enemy target. This skill is commonly traited to transform into Lightning-charged Staff Strike. Unlike the base skill, this version is ranged, and a Lightning skill. Both skills benefit from flank effects, so make sure to coordinate when you use this skill based on whether or not you have a flank active on the enemy target.
