Notes

Bug:

The bonus on Facet of Elements increases the  Condition Damage attribute by 10% rather than increasing outgoing condition damage. This results in the base damage of conditions being unaffected by the increase.

• While using this trait, consuming Facets will give one of the following effects for six seconds depending on the Facet consumed:
  •  Facet of Nature — Pulse Naturalistic Resonance to nearby allies every second.[sic]
  •  Facet of Light — Pulse regeneration to nearby allies every few seconds.
  •  Facet of Darkness — Pulse fury to nearby allies every few seconds.
  •  Facet of Elements — Pulse swiftness to nearby allies every few seconds.
  •  Facet of Strength — Pulse might to nearby allies every few seconds.
  •  Facet of Chaos — Pulse protection to nearby allies every few seconds.
