Vaulting Impact is a quarterstaff skill. It travels forward and slams the ground, creating a stunning shockwave that greatly increases stun buildup on Dazed enemies. If the enemy is Dazed, it escalates the debuff and causes all hits against the target to gain extra damage based on the amount of damage dealt with Vaulting Impact.
