Crushing Blow

[Lesrider]

I know this may sound silly coming from a lvl 50 bear, but so be it. I've never invested points in Crushing Blow bc it seems to be the same as Hell Scream, only not Aoe. But I see many people maxing out Crushing Blow. Are the two skills stackable? Or is there another reason ppp use Crushing Blow?

Thanks.

I have confirmed that the two skills do stack. I was soloing a boss monster and I noticed that if I kept both skills on him constantly he did almost zero damage to me. If I only hit him with Hell Scream then he did a LOT more.

[Lesrider]

Great, thanks!

I smell a respec for Lesrider...

[Riccits]

i should do it too

[Dr.R]

wonder if he will do it?

[Derajdefyre]

At lower levels, as a str bear with a shield if I keep hell scream up and cripple a boss I'm pretty much untouchable. If I start taking damage, pop iron blood and I stop. I tested this while soloing. With buffs and debuffs from other classes it can only get better.

[Lesrider]

I left a few skill points unused for this reason. So will see if I have enough or need a Respec. I may need to Respec anyway -- I haven't tested my bear out since the patches (having too much fun reuiniting with my Mage).

Before AO3, crushing blow was mostly a PVP skills, but with AO3 it became a necessity because the mobs / bosses were putting out so much damage. Still good to have for bosses, but no longer needing to spam on mobs since update.

Good to know that, thanks for sharing!

What is the duration of the debuff applied by Crushing blow?

I think the duration is about the same as hellscream. You shouldn't worry about it though. If you can keep your enemies close, you can just spam it when it recharges

I wasn't sure if it was 4.25, same as cooldown, or if I could allow it to slip if other important CD's are available (beckon/stomp)

[Noodleleg]
