Blood Wave is a Necromancer skill from the Ultimate skill tree. Its features are:

Grants Player Exploits Condition
Physical Dmg N/A
Knocks Back (CC)

+ Blood Orbs
Ultimate
Blood

'Creates Condition' means this skill creates this condition i.e it could make a target Vulnerable that other skills can take advantage of. 'Exploits Condition' means this skill takes advantage of a condition, not necessarily of its own making. So for example another skill might Stun and this skill could take advantage of that.
