Notes

• Activation base is in Stamina and values vary with fatigue%.
• A very useful crowd control tool. Deals decent damage, too. FF-capable, so precise aiming is a must.
• Hurl Rock damage is affected by Shale's strength only. Somewhat surprisingly, dexterity does not affect this talent at all.
• *Please note: this is not an accurate in-game formula - with very high strength stat, you may notice the damage is actually a couple of points higher than it should be according to the formula.
• The in-game description is wrong about Hurl Rock further increasing ranged critical chance and reducing the aim speed for party members.
