Skill Ranking

Crippling Strikes is sometimes worth investing points

We recommend investing into this ability if it works with the build you are running. Although this skill will not be quite as useful as some of the other skills, it certainly has its uses, and it certainly will not hurt to have. While it may seem a bit niche, you can invest into this skill if you have already built your more important skills, and have extra points to spend.

This skill can become essential if you want to max out the damage dealt by your fast attacks. The value of this skill has been undermined due to the cost in order to get this skill and the damage added from this skill does not scale well as the enemies get stronger.

Conclusion

If your build is primarily invested in the Combat Branch and you are mainly using fast attacks, then you can choose to get this skill to add more damage to your build.
