Sunder is a mace slam skill. The user slams down and sends out a wave of fissures forward. The fissure deals damage to enemies and also creates a shockwave around each hit enemy that also damages nearby enemies. If it hits an enemy with Fully Broken Armour, it applies a debuff that increases physical damage taken.

Item	Description

Version history

Version	Changes
0.3.0	Sunder: No longer has +0.9 seconds to total attack time, but now attacks at 35% of attack speed (previously 65%). No longer consumes Fully Broken Armour to guarantee a Critical Hit. Instead, it inflicts Sundered Armour on Fully Armour Broken targets, inflicting an additional 20% increased Physical Damage Taken for a duration. Adjusted the damaging area to more closely match the visual effects.
0.2.0	Many Skills have had their base damage and/or damage growth per level rebalanced. Most of these changes are not specifically mentioned below as the changes are too widespread. The mana cost for all Attacks, Marks and Warcries has been reduced, most notably at higher Gem levels. Sunder now has +1 second to Total Attack Time (previously +1.4 seconds), and the Mana cost has been adjusted accordingly.
0.1.0	Introduced to the game.
