Notes[edit]

  • The damage increase is only displayed at the skill overview, but not on the four attuned skills. However this is just a visual bug, the increased damage application is working properly.
  • Applying stacks on top of each other of the same type causes one to decay resulting in 4 stacks instead of 5.
  • At some point during or after 2012, this skill's visual and audio effects were removed.
  • The determined condition does not change when swapping attunements and affects any source of direct damage.
  • Effect ends upon entering the Downed state.
