Tornado
Create a storm that sucks in enemies and deals Physical damage over time. A Tornado that overlaps an Elemental Ground Surface absorbs that surface's Debuff, applying it to enemies inside the Tornado and causing the Tornado to deal extra damage of that element.
Good option that performs well in the right setup or as a levelling skill.
