Shield Wall
Ram your Shield into the ground, throwing up a wall of earth. Enemies can attack your wall segments, and your Slams, Warcries, and Shield Charge will instantly shatter them all. The segments explode when shattered, damaging enemies in front of and around them.
Good option that performs well in the right setup or as a levelling skill.
