"Why should I worry about magic? A well-placed kick will stop even the most potent of spells." —Nathressa Darkstrider

Kick is a level 6 rogue ability that interrupts spellcasting. If Kick interrupts a spell, it also prevents the target from casting any spell from that school for 5 seconds.

Tips and tactics

Properly staggering the cooldowns of Kick, [Kidney Shot], and [Gouge] can keep a caster almost completely crippled for the duration of a battle.

See Interrupt for information and tactics on using interrupts such as Kick.
