| The character attempts to hinder a target's ability to fight back, rather than going directly for a killing blow. Unless the target passes a [[Resistances#Physical Resistance|physical resistance check]], it suffers a penalty to attack for a short time ''({{ColorNegativeStat|-10 attack}} for 10 seconds)''.
   
  +
{{Note| The character strikes TWICE in rapid succession when activating this talent, both for normal combat damage. It is thus much stronger than expected. In fact, this inconspicuous ability is the best damage dealer for a two-handed weapon warrior throughout early-middle levels. It's a cheap, short-cooldown, first tier double swing with a bonus of reducing enemy attack for a while.}}

| The character aims a destructive blow at the target's armor or natural defenses. The attack deals normal damage, but also damages the armor unless the target passes a [[Resistances#Physical Resistance|physical resistance check]] ''({{ColorNegativeStat|-20 armor}} for 10 seconds)''.

| Few can stand against the savage blows of a destroyer. Every attack sunders the target's armor, reducing its effectiveness for a short time ''({{ColorNegativeStat|-5 armor}} for 3 seconds on a critical hit)''. The effects of multiple blows are not cumulative.
