 * Issue
 * This skill has a conditional effect that is outside the casters control. The activation time is too long to make it viable - by the time you're done casting, they've probably stopped attacking.


 * Suggestion
 * Reduce the activation time to 3/4 of a second. This will make it hit more often without making it a guaranteed hit.

 * Don't generally post here, but; Player's have noted the difficulty in actually using this skill, due to the condition. Thought I'd suggest an alternative.


 * Suggestion
 * Make it trigger on target having Cracked Armor. That'd be more in line with related skills. And get CA some more use.

Needs a buff

 * Issue
 * Compared to the related skills this is weak.


 * Glowstone is a projectile and needs a condition, but has lower recharge.
 * Glowing Ice has slightly better energy scaling and has an easy condition. Cannot miss.
 * Glowing Gaze cannot miss and has an easy condition.
 * Shock Arrow has none of these bonuses.


 * Suggestion
 * Lower recharge to 6 seconds and check the conditional at cast time.
