Changes: Hurl Rock

Revision as of 12:22, 28 January 2020

Hurl Rock is Shale's talent from the Rock Mastery tree in Dragon Age: Origins.

Information

Shale pulls a rock from the ground and hurls it to a target, dealing 70*(1 + 0.01*[strength-10]) physical damage in a 5m radius sphere.
Creatures in AoE are knocked down unless they pass a physical resistance check vs. Shale's strength.
Friendly fire possible.
Range: 25m.
Conjuration time: 2s.
Upgrades Rock Mastery, reducing allies' ranged aim speed by -1 second.

Notes

Activation base is in stamina and values vary with fatigue%.
A very useful crowd control tool. Deals decent damage, too. Friendly fire-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.

Bugs

The in-game description is wrong about Hurl Rock further increasing ranged critical chance.
