Dive: Command a cliff racer to dive bomb an enemy, dealing [2698 / 2729 / 2757 / 2785] Magic Damage. If you are more than 7 meters away from the target, you set them Off Balance for 7 seconds.

Cutting Dive: Cost: 2295 Stamina.
Command a cliff racer to dive bomb an enemy, dealing 2789 Bleed Damage immediately and then causing them to bleed for [2818 / 2863 / 2870 / 2894] Bleed Damage over 10 seconds. If you are more than 7 meters away from the target, you set them Off Balance for 7 seconds.

Screaming Cliff Racer: Command a cliff racer to dive bomb an enemy, dealing [2789 / 2820 / 2851 / 2881] Magic Damage. If you are more than 7 meters away from the target, you set them Off Balance for 7 seconds. After dealing damage you increase your Weapon and Spell Damage by 100 for 10 seconds, which quadruples after damaging Off Balance enemies.

Dive summons a Cliff Racer to attack your enemies. This takes the form of a single Magic Damage strike against one target. (The Cliff Racer disappears immediately after it strikes.) The Cutting Dive morph changes this to Physical Damage and the cost to Stamina, while Screaming Cliff Racer increases the damage based on distance, dealing up to 15% higher damage at the limits of its range.

Notes

• Screaming Cliff Racer is a recommended morph for the Warden Initiate and Beast Caller builds, while Cutting Dive is recommended for Savage Stalker.

Patch Notes

3.0.8

• Fixed an issue where weapon swapping after casting this ability and its morphs would cause the enemy's health to not update based on the damage they took.

3.1.5

• Cutting Dive: This morph can now be cast while you are silenced.

3.3.5

• The damage from this ability and its morphs can now be dodged.

4.0.5

• Screaming Cliff Racer: Increased the travel speed of the Cliff Racer by approximately 33% to make up for the fact that it can be dodged.

4.1.5

• Screaming Cliff Racer (morph): Fixed an issue where casting this ability would not orient your character to face the target.

4.2.5

• Cutting Dive: This morph now also reduces the cost as a morph effect.
• Screaming Cliff Racer: This morph no longer has a minimum range requirement to obtain part of the 15% damage done bonus. Every meter you are away from the target adds 1% damage done, up to a maximum of 15%.
  • Developer Comment: We wanted to maintain the feel of getting more effect from being further away from the target, while supporting key damaging skills that require closer distance such as Wall of Elements.

5.2.5

• This ability has received new functionality to help it stand alone as a spammable, but has received some reductions to the base functionality that were in place to make up for the fact that it lacked any gameplay altering effects.
• Reduced the damage of these abilities by 10%, and increased their base cost to 2700 from 2430.
• If you are at least 7 meters from the target upon dealing damage with these abilities, you now set them Off Balance.
• Cutting Dive (morph):
  • This morph no longer reduces the cost of the ability beyond the standard Stamina cost reduction. It now applies a Bleed to the target for 7 seconds if they are Off Balance, which can stack up to 7 times.
