Notes

• Damage will still trigger if auto attacks are interrupted (e.g. by Wailing Weapon, Clumsiness, Savage Shot or Leech Signet).

Bug.Contrary to the description, this skill deals damage whenever a target would be interrupted. A target will still take damage even if they are prevented from being interrupted.
