Crushing shock with appropriate weapon power is a very strong but single target attack.
I can get mine to do over 700 damage, no problem. (it actually hits with three different elements at the same time, so registers for like 200(x3).
The downside to that nice spike hit is that it can be reflected or blocked. It can also miss or be dodged.
Unlike impulse which can hit about 600, can hit up to six people at once, is unreflectable, unblockable, procs an additional effect 40 percent of the time, either debuffs max health or adds DoT, is only marginally more expensive per cast than shock, and requires no targeting skills to use...
Oh right, we were saying crushing shock was OP...
Except Impulse has a crap range and while I understand that every thread here has to eventually revolve around AoE caps and Impulse, this thread wasn't exactly about that. That doesn't mean Impulse isn't a bit too strong also, but there's enough threads about Impulse already.Crushing shock with appropriate weapon power is a very strong but single target attack.

Been using it almost since release. It's stronger because of the caps, but so is everything else.

My Impulse caps out around 500 crit against vampires with no fire resist while using Flawless Dawnbreaker, a fire staff, and with Critical Surge up.
Please though, we were circling about impulse again, please go on.
