    Vigilant Strike

    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.
    • 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.
    • Support gems:

    Fortify duration modifiers also apply to the fortify buff granted to allies.
