MartialArts AssassinStrike.png Assassin's Blow

A signature Stalker attack. This attack does superior smashing damage on its own as a frontal attack and cannot be interrupted.

Using this power while not hidden as a chance to critically hit equal to 33.3% time the number of stacks of Assassin's Focus.
