Concussed --> Off Balance --> Exploiter

FrancisCrawford

Healers are expected to help cause the Concussed condition and to run Blockade of Storms, which guarantees that Concussed will turn into (also) Off Balance.

If you put 75 points into Thaumaturge, you get Exploiter, which boosts damage against Off-Balance opponents.

I get all that, and could probably look up the details to flesh it out. (But if somebody wants to post them from memory, that would be great.)

Where my knowledge breaks down is with respect to durations and so on. How long does the Concussed condition last? How about Off Balance? What do the references to Off Balance being "consumed" by heavy attacks mean?

And of course -- what else should I be asking?

How long does the Concussed condition last?

4 seconds

How about Off Balanced?

4 seconds

What do the references to Off Balance being "consumed" by heavy attacks mean?

Off balance is ended by a heavy attack that does 70% more damage then a normal heavy, 80% if you have the exploiter passive.

Off balance is also ended (consumed) by power lash, the dk secondary ablity to flame lash.

Note this is off balance, not concussed, concussed is not ended by anything and will run for 4 seconds and then end, unless it is refreshed.

So the trick is with wall, every tick will refresh the timer on off balance and if off balance is ended by a heavy or power lash, wall will set them off balance again, if the target is still concussed.

Thanks!

Are there cases where it's a bad idea to heavy attack an off-balance boss for fear of rebalancing them, or is that not something to worry about?
