Notes

• The Crippled condition, like other snares, has several uses, mostly dealing with getting away from an enemy or preventing them from getting away. The most common way of applying this condition is through an attack skill, but there are a small number of spells and chants that (indirectly) inflict the crippled condition.
• Crippled is a condition that makes a character move half as fast as normal. The visual indication of crippled is that a character moves with a noticeable limp in forward and strafing directions. Walking backwards the character only shows to be walking 50% slower.
• Because most sources of crippled are attacks, protection from attacks will usually protect you from getting crippled. As a character that needs to be fast, like a flag runner, it's often a good idea to bring a condition removal in case you get crippled.
• Certain skills refer to this condition as Crippling, instead of Crippled.
• Crippling upgrade components for weapons increase the crippled duration by 33%.
• A Rune of Restoration and the inscription "Swift as the Wind" can be used to reduce the duration of crippled by 20%.
