Sunder is a melee slam attack skill that creates a slow-moving area of effect wave forward. Enemies hit by the wave release circular shock waves that further damage nearby enemies. The wave continues to move past its minimum distance until a new wave is created. Requires an axe, mace, scepter, staff, or unarmed.

Skill functions and interactions

• Accuracy: Sunder only needs to pass an evasion check to cause a shockwave on a specific enemy – the shockwave will hit all enemies in its range, regardless of evasion.
• Area of Effect: Increases to area of effect will increase both the area of the wave and that of the shockwave created. Note however that only the wave's width is modified. The length of the wave is either constant or the impact of aoe is much smaller.

3.12.0	Now has alternative quality
3.11.0	The visual effects have been improved. Now slams the ground, creating a slow wave of churning terrain that damages enemies in a sequence of areas in front of you.

The wave creates 5 areas, and cannot stop before creating 2 areas. There is a delay between areas the wave creates.

2.2.0	Added to the game
