I wanted to check with the community how effective Earthshaking Strike is. On paper, it doesn't seem that great, hitting twice for %150 each. The AoE is nice. Does it knockdown or is it one of those skills that hits a lot harder than its numbers says?

Worthless. So bad I respeced right after I tested it out. Not even sure if it doe as much damage as auto-attacking due to the long animation. It would be ok if it knocked down, but it doesn't. No room on the bar for something so underwhelming.

The fact that it's 2 hits also means that armor or resistances affect it twice, resulting in lower overall damage.

Even with the upgrade it sucks, respecced out of it. 300% with double armor effectiveness and the upgrade is one of most common resistances in the game is just underwhelming compared to most 2-hander skills.

It's not even as good as Mighty Blow with passive - which deals more damage, costs less stamina, has more useful effects (knockdown for combo) and requires fewer ability points to reach. Further, it's very rare for enemies to conveniently stand in a line. Instead, enemies tend to cluster up, making Mighty Blow quite ideal for many situations.

I recommend checking out Lastpawn's  updates for Earthshaking Strike. May change you opinion on this ability.

The tooltip is off (or the ability is buggy) because the upgrade deals much more than 20% damage (noted by a few people here and confirmed by me on PS4). This was still true last week.
