CORE ABILITY

In a rare twist we will slot two Core Abilities in the short term, because we only use Pulverize once every 12 seconds for its guaranteed overpower. Pulverize for AOE damage, Landslide for Single-Target. 

Once we get some legendaries and passives to amp up our pulverize damage, we will be able to drop landslide for AOE and single target damage.
