You get this skill on the mission Ring Of Fire. The bosses name is Ferk mallet found near the ancient seer for bonus quest. He always spawns so no worrys about that. I love this skill its nice to knockdown for that long.

But backbreaker keeps them down for 4 seconds! Not sure how you can argue with that I'd much rather take backbreaker than say, earthshaker.

because with earth shaker you can put down more that 1 person. and if i take down and ele or two or say a nec or mes that was just casting or was about to i just did my team a huge favor

Earthshaker is very good for HoH or basically any Tomb match where everyone is close. Use earthshaker and then aftershock create some spike damages as well as aoe knockdown. Also add crude swing to it and you have a pretty strong offense with 3 skills.

Backbreaker is also good, but it only knocks one person down, yes for 4 seconds. What is better, knock a bunch of ppl down for 1-2 seconds each or one person for 4 seconds?

depends

usually ppl arent close enough to get alot out of earthshaker, adjacent kind of sux

with backbreaker, you can easily get off a BB-> crushing-> AS combo before they stand up, and usually, they dont ever stand up from it, due to BB and Crushing adding damage to your attack to assist the deep wound and as

generally speaking though, if your trying to spike through heals, go with backbreaker, if your trying to cause mass disruption and just throw damage everywhere, and hope their healers tap out, go with earthshaker

and in organized pvp, devastating isnt on par with the other two, condition removal is too common, and youll waste all your energy for no effect when you use heavy
