Wrack is a level 1 basic Magic ability. It is the exact equivalent of Ranged's Piercing Shot and Melee's Punish. It deals 18.8-94% ability damage or 37.6-188% ability damage if the target is stunned or bound.

The ability's small cooldown is useful for ability rotation when aiming to gain adrenaline. It is often useful to use Wrack in alternation with other abilities to avoid having most basics on cooldown.

The stun from Impact is too short for Wrack to deal its boosted damage, because Impact stuns the target for 1.2 seconds, shorter than the global cooldown of 1.8 seconds. Deep Impact gives enough time for the user to use Wrack once for its boosted damage. This ability's damage boost does not work on most bosses as the majority of them are stun-immune unless they are stunned by dreadnips. Targets bound with Ice spells will also trigger Wrack's extra 94% damage provided the target is not a player and not immune to stuns/binds.

The Energising perk will make Wrack deal 20% less damage, but it will generate an additional 0.6% adrenaline per rank instead.

Trivia

Wrack was originally named Torture during the Evolution of Combat beta but was renamed when the update went live.

-It is most commonly used to deal a quick and fairly large amount of magical damage to the opponent, as it's cooldown time, level requirement and time required to cast it are all quite short, and it is often use as a "last hit", to finish off an opponent quickly without disrupting most other magical abilities. It may be a reference to real-life Torture, which inflicts a vast amount of pain onto a victim. In the case of this spell, life points are affected, and the victim/target suffers a large deal of lifepoints loss.{{stub}}
