Earthquake

Earthquake is a melee Attack dealing damage in an area and leaving a crack in the ground. After a duration, the crack releases an aftershock, dealing more damage in a larger area. Requires an axe, mace, Staves or unarmed.

Skill Functions and Interactions

Duration: increases and reductions to duration increase or reduce time between impact and aftershock respectively. The following gems and items reduce skill's duration: Less Duration Support, Swift Affliction Support, and Warped Timepiece. Be aware that Warped Timepiece will apply globally and reduce duration to buffs and other effects such as Fortify.
Dual Wielding: Using Earthquake while dual wielding will alternate between weapons.
Aftershock: The aftershock is a specific part of the skill that hits and has a 150% more multiplier to hits and ailments. Ailments such as poison, bleed, and ignite will have more damage if applied by the shockwave. The shockwave will however not scale other DoTs like Decay Support as it is not a ailment.
