Notes

• Payback Strike removes the same disabling conditions as Roll with It: Stun, Panic, and Knockdown. It also removes Chill, but not Frozen. This makes it a useful recovery tool for Weapon and Shield warriors, as the cooldown does not initiate unless the ability makes contact with an enemy
• Payback Strike performs an attack in a small arc, damaging and stunning (if Sweet Revenge is unlocked) or taunting (if Cruel Revenge is unlocked) all enemies caught within this area-of-effect.
