Crippling Blow

Crippling Blow raises smash damage for the Chevalier while toggled on. Smash is the secondary damage type for the class, dealt by Ground Slam, Kick and by a Simple Mace.

Effect

The bonus lands on Ground Slam and on Kick, and on every enemy each of them catches. On a Chevalier leaning on area damage to clear packs, that compounds across a whole group rather than landing one swing at a time.

Wielding a Simple Mace instead of a Simple Sword turns your basic attack to smash as well, which makes Crippling Blow the primary damage prayer rather than the secondary one.

Toggling

Prayers switch on instantly and lock out briefly after being switched off.

Strategy

• Run it when your Ground Slam is doing the work, and Phantom Strike when your basic attack is.
• A Simple Mace build wants this prayer, not Phantom Strike.
• It stacks with War Cry, which adds smash damage of its own.
• Against a group of goblins the area abilities benefit several times over from one prayer.
