PvP

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

Mechanics

• The crystal spawns at and follows the character's location for its entire duration. Every second, crystal pulses a minimum 1 second of  Protection and  Resolution, which can be increased with boon duration. The boons are granted within a radius of 360 units. Cooldown of the crystal effect is not affected by Alacrity.
• The effect duration scales in tiers with the recharge of an elite skill:

Elite skill recharge	Relic effect duration
0 s	4 s
1 – 20 s	5 s
21 – 40 s	6 s
41 – 60 s	7 s
≥ 61 s	8 s

• Has minimum duration of 4 seconds for elites without cooldown.
• Duration increases by 1 second for every 20 seconds of cooldown on your elite skill, up to a maximum of 8 seconds for elite skills with recharge higher than 60 seconds.
• The extra duration is given only to elite skills above the threshold of the 20 seconds (for example, elite skill with CD of 20 seconds will spawn crystal with duration of 4 seconds while elite skill with a cd of 21 seconds spawn a crystal with 5 seconds duration).

Notes

Bugs:

• Applies the minimum duration of 4 seconds upon using engineer's Supply Crate skill. (Speculation: it's possible the relic uses the cooldown of the second cast of Supply Crate, Detonate Supply Crate Turrets, for calculating the duration of the crystal).
• Tips states 7 maximum applications, but since patch 2023-11-28 all ranges were rised by 1 second up to a maximum of 8.
