This causes high smashing and energy damage on contact and reduces the target's movement and recharge speed slightly. The force of the impact can cause some lethal damage over time. Crushing Blast awards 1 stack of Impulse.

This torrent causes moderate smashing and energy damage on impact, and has a chance to knock affected targets down. Affected targets will also have their regeneration rate reduced slightly. Disrupting Torrent consumes all stacks of Impulse and its knockdown chance, damage and regeneration debuff scale with the number of consumed stacks. If used when you have 5 stacks of Impulse, this power has a chance to immediately refresh Coalescence.
