Effect

Level 1 skill trained

• Range: 1.3
• Cooldown: 6 seconds
• Damage on opponent (this damage increases as the skill levels of Stone Fist and Shield Bach increase)
• +10 Combat Block Modifier for 1 minute on Caster
• +10 Earth Attunement for 1 minute on Caster
• 50% chance to Knock Back the opponent 4 meters (applies a crowd control effect)
• 100% change to Stun the opponent for 1 second (the stun is not working as of release 151)- The crowd control effect is added to your target only if the effect lands on the target. Resist crowd control will stack if you stun/knockdown/mesmerize/root/knockback the target within 30 seconds of the previous stun/knockdown/mesmerize/root/knockback (i.e. the resist crowd control accumulates). For example, if you use stone fist to stun a target 3 consecutive times within a second, the crowd control will be +20% x 3, which means the target will have +60% resistance to stun/knockdown/mesmerize/root/knockback for the next 30 seconds. Note: This crowd control effect is not stated in the Tooltip.

The sum of the caster's Earth Magic Specialization and Shield Specialization determines how many times the buffs (Combat Block Modifier and Earth Attunement) can stack on the caster.
