Related actions

•   Berserk
•   Fell Cleave
•   Decimate
•   Primal Rend

Notes

• Only using Fell Cleave and Decimate will consume a stack of Inner Release.
• Primal Rend Ready is only granted when Primal Rend is learned at Lv. 90.
• This action is an additional way to mitigate knockback and draw-in effects in addition to   Arm's Length. In situations where Inner Strength is active but it is beneficial not have knockback immune (e.g., Phase 1 of  Dragonsong's Reprise (Ultimate)), players can right-click the buff icon to remove it.
• Not to be confused with the removed pugilist / monk action   Internal Release.
