Recipe: Ancient Protection Stone

Ancient Protection Stone

Arcana

Shoot forward a four pronged claw attached to a chain from the muzzle. The projectile will travel up to 14m and cannot pull you upwards more than 3m. \nIf it connects to an enemy it will deal 40% weapon damage and inflict root for 1s before quickly pulling you towards them. \n\nThe pull can be canceled by any ability use or primary fire.\n\nTaunt Gem Compatible: If you have a Carnelian gem equipped in your blunderbuss, this ability inflicts taunt for 4s when it hits. (Taunt causes monsters to focus only on you.)

Claw Shot

Upon usage, restore 8 stamina every second for 10s.

In-and-Out

Landing a pellet, even if blocked, lowers the cooldown of this ability by 2% each.

Combat Readiness

Successful pulls will automatically grant 1 loaded ammunition. If you currently have 2 loaded ammunition this will exceed the max cap and grant a third.

Mobile Overload

Fire a large net out of the blunderbuss that deals 70% weapon damage and slows targets it hits by 40% for 3s. (Slow reduces target's movement speed.)\n\nIf standing still or moving backwards, the recoil from this attack will knock you further backwards.\nIf moving sideways or forwards, you will continue forward unhindered.

Net Shot

If Net Shot hits a target, reduce its cooldown by 20%.

Fast Hands

The net now inflicts a 50% slow that degrades to normal move speed over 7s.

Apparatus

Net Shot's initial hit is reduced to 30% weapon damage. However, it now deals 35% additional weapon damage as bleeding each second for 3s.

Barbed Netting

Fire 5 shots in a horizontal fan in front of you while pushing yourself backwards. Each shot will deal 50% weapon damage. \n\n(Every consecutive hit on the same target will deal 20% less damage than the previous hit.)

Unload

Shoot a grenade out of the blunderbuss that can bounce up to 4 times. \nThe Splitting Grenade will detonate after 1.5s but can be detonated early by reactivating its ability key within this time period. \n\nUpon detonation, it will create 3 mini grenades that will disperse and explode 1s after landing, dealing 85% weapon damage in a 3m radius area. \n\n(Each successive grenade hit against the same target deals 40% less base damage.)

For the next 15s or 3 shots, shots will no longer fire multiple pellets but instead will fire a heavy, fast diving, mortar-style canister that causes a tall explosion upon impact, dealing 100% weapon damage in a 3m area. \n\nIf the target is 10m away or further, they will take 35% increased damage from the mortar.
