Exposing Strikes is an ability in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire.
Description[]
Use the pike's reach to set your opponents off guard, exposing their weak points to your allies at the cost of reduced damage.
Effects[]
- Attack Targets (when scoring a hit with an attack):
-10 Deflection for 10.0 sec - Self:
-25% Damage with Pike weapons
Notes[]
- BENEFIT: -10 Deflection for 10.0 second on damaged targets from your Pike attacks. This pairs well with a Barbarian's Carnage ability if you want decent damage and support for your tanky type from taking damage. Multi-classing a Barbarian with a Paladin (Fanatic) can make for a decent offensive support if you have a tank already and want this weapon modal.
- PENALTY: -25% Damage from your Pike attacks.
