Acquisition Edit

Skill Trainers:

• Medando (Yohlon Haven)

Hero Skill Trainers:

• Warden of Whispers (Chantry of Secrets)

NotesEdit

• Works well in combination with dazed.
• A common misconception with this skill is that you need to interrupt spells to make Frustration deal damage, but in fact it works on any interrupt, even if a non-spell skill or a plain attack is interrupted. (Knockdowns and skill failure are not considered interrupts by the game mechanics, however).
• Combines very well with Wailing Weapon or Warmonger's Weapon.

TriviaEdit

• Skill balancer Isaiah Cartwright, employee of ArenaNet, appears to have been the model used in the skill icon.
