   Earth Attunement:  
  
   Shock Wave - Create a shock wave that bleeds and cripples nearby foes.

Notes

• Cannot move while channeling.
• The cripple is applied repeatedly, the period depending on the distance the enemy is from the epicenter.
• As Lightning Flash is an instant cast, it will not interrupt the channeling. Players can channel from a distance and then teleport into range before it ends.
• Combo notifications appear at the start of Churning Earth, even though the actual effects are not applied until the end of the channel. If a combo field expires before Churning Earth finishes channeling, the combo effects are still created.
