Notes

Bug:

The Defiance Break displays 232 instead of 332.

• If the player did not select a target, the charge won't stop after hitting targets.
• The actual range i.e. charge distance is somewhere around 3200 units, making it the longest range CC and longest distance movement skill in the game.

Patch	Changes
February 28, 2022	End of Dragons release: (Undocumented) Added tooltip fact Defiance Break.
September 09, 2014	Become the Bear no longer increases power levels exponentially. The damage of skills in this transform has been adjusted to compensate. Reduced dash speed by approximately 40%. This skill will no longer deal damage if the character's position does not change significantly (for example, running against a wall). Reduced damage to nearby foes while charging by 80%. Increased damage of final strike by 100%. This skill now ignores the movement penalties from chilled and crippled conditions.
August 28, 2012	Game release: Charge has been added to the game.
