Talent picks
Greatsword Specialization
When wielding a Greatsword, you can equip one additional skill, but the Polearm and Shield has one skill slot disabled.
Reprieve
Wither no longer explodes immediately when executed by a Greatsword; instead, it triggers an area explosion after a brief delay with increased damage.
Collective Punishment
The area explosion from Wither executed by a Greatsword reapplies Wither to all affected enemies.
Auto Execution
Wither applied by a Greatsword now automatically executes itself when its duration ends, and the Wither status can no longer be refreshed. However, the explosion from the automatic execution does not apply Wither to affected enemies.
