PvP

• PvP Build user interface - automatically unlocked for use in PvP only.

Mechanics

• As the description states, the effect does not stack. Each individual hit will reset the duration to 6 seconds. Due to the way many skill sets are set up, it might be necessary to swap to another weapon and use another 20+ second cooldown skill in combat in order to refresh the effect.
• The 7% increased strike damage does not apply to the hit granting the effect.
• The 20+ second cooldown requirement applies to the skill's base cooldown. Skill recharge reduction from traits such as  Zealous Blade does not prevent skills with a 20+ second base cooldown from activating the relic. For example   Vital Draw will still activate the relic even when its cooldown is reduced to 17 seconds by  Sinister Shroud.
• For ammunition skills the count recharge is ignored. A skill may have a count recharge of 20+ seconds, but will not activate the relic unless the base cooldown is 20+ seconds.
• If the activating skill continues to generate hits, such as with Barrage, it will continue to refresh the relic's effect until it ends.
• Since the March 19, 2024 update all Engineering Kit skills and all Conjure skills do not trigger this relic.

Anomalies:

• Skills may trigger the effect as long as they meet the recharge requirement and use any weapon's weapon strength. For example most profession mechanic skills use the weapon strength of a hammer and most transform skills are locked to a specific weapon's weapon strength. This does not apply to skills cast by NPC allies, such as pet or Mech Command skills.
• Some skills inflicting conditions, control effects or effects like revealed or morphed without dealing strike damage may also trigger the effect, as long as they have a large enough recharge and theoretically use a weapon's weapon strength.

Bugs:

• Does not trigger on skills that do not use the equipped weapon strength.
• The following weapon skills do not trigger Relic of Fireworks despite having 20 seconds or more cooldown:
  •   Advancing Strike
  •   Counterstrike
