Now has an attack speed multiplier of 80%.
3.5.0	Charged Slam (which typically consumes an Endurance Charge) now deal 60% more damage (up from 18%). Now has a 35% chance to consume an Endurance Charge to create a Charged Slam (down from 100%)
3.2.0	Added a new Strength Skill Gem - Tectonic Slam: Slam the ground with your weapon, unleashing a fiery fissure in front of you, dealing area damage and releasing a random number of smaller fissures branching off from it.
