[edit] Notes
- This skill is more efficient when used with skills such as Balanced Stance, Fleeting Stability, or Ward of Stability, because those skills will prevent the knockdown and allow you to continue attacking.
- This skill is commonly used with Steady Stance to bypass the knock down penalty and to quickly gain adrenaline.
- This skill will only knock you down if it hits.
- This skill can be used with "I Meant to Do That!" to get more adrenaline without using an elite on Steady Stance.
- This skill has an icon very similar to Backfire.
