Overload Earth

Overload. Ride your stored earth magic around, granting protection to other allies you move over and crippling enemies, then deliver a final immobilizing blast of power to the area, leaving behind a dust cyclone that delivers the same effects as the overload. Using this skill causes the attunement to have a longer recharge.

Notes[edit]

  • Pulses for a total of 9 times (overload + dust cyclone).
    • Cyclone does not cause immobilization.
  • Overload Earth affects up to 5 enemies while affecting up to 10 allies (counting the tempest) in pve and 5 allies in pvp and wvw.
  • Direct damage scales with the equipped (main-hand) weapon. Default damage in PvE for exotic Dagger or Scepter is 275, for Staff 303, without weapon 199.
  • Casts Earthen Blast at the beginning of the channel during combat only while using Earth specialization. Starting combat with Overload Earth will not trigger Earthen Blast.
Per pulse on allies, per target, activates Signet of Restoration.
