Notes[]

  • "Weapon Skills" in-game includes both primary and secondary melee attacks, such as Burst Strike or Fivefold Flurry as well as spells cast with magick weapons, like Miasma, or Sixfold Bolt - only Core Skills are unaffected and can still be used when stifled.
  • Skill Stifling prevents manual cancelling of skills such as Immolation, Wind Harness, Invisibility, and Perfect Defense (though Perfect Defense can also be [Jump] cancelled). It doesn't prevent automatic cancelling of such skills when the end of the usual skill duration is reached.
  • (Exploit) When arrow multistrike skills (like Fivefold Flurry) are held [bow aim] for repeated shots, Skill Stifling does not prevent further volleys. This can be exploited with Drakes and Evil Eyes after Dragon Roar or Evil Pulses for repeated follow up shots even after being stifled. (Stability may be needed to prevent other effects knocking the Arisen out of the bow stance.)
