Notes[edit]

This skill is listed as applying Stun but actually applies Reaper's Frost, which functions the same as Stun.
  • Damage value is calculated with the weapon strength of the active weapon before shroud is activated. Wiki value assumes unequipped value of 690.5
  • The ice field applies 1 second of Chilled.png Chilled every second.
  • Targetting seems to be random and won't stun your actual target sometimes.
