Expose Armor

Template:Tooltip Debuff

Overview

You think that flimsy stuff can protect you from me? Fool.

Finishing move that reduces the target's Armor Rating for a short period. Similar but generally inferior to the Warrior's [Sunder Armor] ability. The two do not stack.

Functionality

Finishing move that exposes the target for 30 sec, reducing armor per Combo Point.

Use

25 Energy
Instant cast
5 yard range
Requires Melee Weapon

Limitations

• Requires Combo Points
• Only really beneficial on fights that will last the 30 second duration, and with multiple melee characters engaged against the target.

Related Talents

• [Improved Expose Armor] increases the armor reduced by your Expose Armor ability by 25% or 50%.

Tips

• Armor reduction is most effective against lightly armored enemies. Against heavily armored opponents, you may be better off with [Slice and Dice].
• Do not use this ability in a group where a warrior is tanking. He will NOT be able to use his [Sunder Armor] ability at all (he'll get a "more powerful spell in effect" error message). Sunder Armor is a primary threat move for a tanking warrior, so this is a very bad thing.
• Expose Armor is particularly useful in PvP, against casters with low armor, and especially against warlocks with low armor but high health.
• By using [Gouge] and switching to a slow weapon, it's possible to gouge and expose the armor of a target without breaking the incapacitating effect. Just be sure to stop the auto-attack after you expose.
