Notes

Bug:

The Defiance Break sums up 232 from launch and 100 from knockdown while the actual knockdown duration is 2 seconds and thus deals 200 defiance bar damage.

Anomaly:

Unlike other sequence skills, Charge does not display its parent skill's tooltip in addition to its own when being hovered over while out of combat.

• Enemies at the absolute edge of the flesh golem's hitbox will be launched away from the flesh golem, while enemies closer to the flesh golem's hitbox will be knocked down.
  • An enemy with a defiance bar can be hit multiple times by the launch as the golem travels through the hitbox.
  • Will still trigger knockdown when the golem hits the target.
• Actual knockdown duration is 2 seconds.
• Does not trigger the effect of the Insidious Disruption trait to inflict torment to the launched or knocked down enemy.
