Notes[edit]

  • Does not work with falling damage.
  • Despite the description, the lethal blow isn't actually ignored - the player still takes the damage, but is prevented from entering a downed state and is immediately healed.
    • If players receive a lethal blow while under the Rebound effect, their health is "set" to the amount healed. So even if their health is higher before (e.g. they get one-shot by Jade Maw) their health is the healed amount afterwards.
  • Does not prevent player from being downed by Cardinal Adina's Boulder Barrage.
  • If a player is affected by both Rebound and Rigorous Certainty and takes a lethal blow, Rebound is consumed first.
Despite the description, allies always receive an aura when the Rebound effect expires, either from lethal damage or natural timeout.

June 28, 2022
  • Fury: Critical chance bonus increased from 20% to 25% in PvE only.
February 28, 2022 End of Dragons release:
  • The tempest's shout skills have had their maximum targets reduced from 10 to 5.
October 26, 2021
  • Multiplicative damage reduction enhancements have been updated to display how much damage was reduced by rather than displaying how much the damage is multiplied by. For example, protection now displays "-33% Damage" instead of "67% damage." This is not a change to functionality; it is only a change to display the bonus in a more intuitively understandable way.
