Vigilant Strike is a melee attack skill that cannot be evaded and applies the Fortify buff on hit. Vigilant Strike has one of the highest base damages of any attack skill, but has a cooldown that can only be bypassed by expending an endurance charge.

Skill functions and interactions

• Dual wielding: When dual wielding, Vigilant Strike will randomly choose one weapon to attack with.^{[citation needed]}
• Can't be Evaded causes any other source of this modifier, as well as accuracy in general, to be redundant.
• Vigilant Strike can still miss if the target dodges or blocks.
• Critical Strikes work as normal, but accuracy does not need to be checked.
