Piercing Howl is an AoE Shout debuff, that costs 10 Rage. It Dazes nearby enemies (50% Movement Speed) for 6 seconds and is unaffected by Diminishing Returns.
Tips and tactics
- An extremely useful ability, and well worth the talent spend. It provides a rudimentary method of dealing with Runners, as unlike Hamstring, it does not require a successful melee hit and, unlike Hamstring, can be used in defensive stance which is particularly helpful for tanks. It also offers a useful method of escaping from a fight gone bad, slowing all pursuers enough for the Warrior to get a decent head start.
- Note that the only effect this has is on enemy movement. It does not do damage, or debuff enemy combat ability at all, so is of no real use during a hectic melee furball. Instead, use Thunder Clap, which affects attack speeds as well.
- Piercing Howl is safe to use around any Crowd controled opponents, precisely because it does no damage, although it is a hostile act, so will aggro any Neutral mobs in range.
- Available for use in All Stances.
