Crippling Grasp: Cost: 2700 Magicka.
Sap an enemy's agility and wrack them with pain, dealing [3176 / 3211 / 3245 / 3280] Magic Damage and an additional [11537 / 11648 / 11777 / 11914] Magic Damage over 20 seconds, immobilizing them for 2 seconds, and reducing their Movement Speed by 30% for 4 seconds.

Cripple deals Magic Damage over time to the enemy and reduces their movement speed. The Debilitate morph also restores yours and your allies' Magicka when attacking a crippled target. Or you can use the Crippling Grasp morph, which converts some of the damage over time to up front damage and immobilizes your target.

Patch Notes[edit]

  • You will no longer be revealed by the following abilities while Shadow Cloak is active:
    • Restoration Staff light attacks
    • Inner Fire
    • Cripple
  • Increased the damage dealt by Cripple by 6%.
  • Debilitate: This ability no longer affects attack speed. Instead, if your target dies while affected by Debilitate, the cost of the spell is refunded to you.
  • Debilitate:
    • This morph now also allows you to place Debilitate on an unlimited amount of targets.
    • Reduced the Magicka refund from this morph to 50% of the ability's cost from 100%.
  • Debilitate:
    • This morph now refunds 100% of the ability’s cost if the enemy dies while affected by it, increased from 50%.
    • Fixed an issue where the damage over time effect from this morph could not be placed on the same enemy from different Nightblade casters.
  • Decreased the duration of the snare and the Major Expedition buff from this ability and its morphs to 4 seconds from 8 seconds.
  • Adjusted this ability and the Debilitate morph to follow our standardized Damage Over Time ruleset.
  • Increased the total duration to 10 seconds from 8 seconds, and increased the damage per tick by approximately 4%. This will result in roughly the same overall DPS, but over a longer duration.
  • Reduced Snare potency to 30% from 40%.
  • This ability and its morphs no longer grant the caster Major Expedition.
  • This ability can now be placed on an infinite amount of targets.
    • Crippling Grasp: Added a 2 second delay between the first Damage Over Time tick and the initial hit. Also increased damage of the initial hit by approximately 25%, and increased the damage of each DoT tick by approximately 25% to make up for the damage loss of the first tick.
    • Debilitate: Increased the Snare potency to 50%. This morph also no longer refunds the Magicka cost if the target dies while it was active. Instead, it applies Minor Magickasteal to the enemy while the DoT persists.
  • Fixed an issue where the Snare and Immobilize from this ability would apply to their target, then immediately fall off.
  • Decreased the cost of this ability and its morphs to 2970 from 3240, and increased the damage by approximately 17% per tick.
  • Crippling Grasp: Increased the initial hit damage by approximately 37%, and dtecreased the DoT damage by approximately 2%.
  • Decreased the damage per tick of this ability and its morphs by approximately 40%.
  • Debilitate (morph): This morph now applies the Overcharged status effect each tick, rather than applying Minor Magickasteal for its duration. This will also fix an issue where Magickasteal could be removed if you recast this ability early.
  • This ability and its morphs now last 20 seconds, up from 10.
  • Reduced the damage per tick of these abilities by approximately 23%.
    • Crippling Grasp (morph): This morph now also reduces the cost of the ability to 2700, down from 2970.
