Notes

Bug:

The tooltip erroneously displays ~5.56% higher damage than the actual amount dealt.

• There is a short delay before the comet hits the target.
• The damage and other properties of the skill occur a fraction of a second before the comet lands.
• The Blast Finisher activates at the location that the Comet lands, but the resultant Combo effect (eg. Area Might) is centred on the caster.
• Can be cast with no target:
  • Where the Comet lands seems to be close to the point that the caster is facing, though usually ~180 units closer to the caster.
  • Still deals its damage and stun, but does not seem to count as a Blast Finisher.
