Channelling

Channelling

Tooltip

Channelling Skills can be held down to gain power or continue using the Skill for a longer period of time.

Channelling is a gem tag on some skills. It applies to skills that continue a single use of the skill for as long as you hold them, rather than an individual use with a set cast speed or attack speed.

Some channelling skills charge up but do not attack until released, while others continuously attack while the skill is held.

Mechanics

Perfect Timing

Channelling skills that are meant to be released will have a window of time while channelling called Perfect Timing. When this occurs, a red shine will occur around the user. Releasing the channel while within the Perfect Timing window will often provide various benefits such as more damage or additional effects.
