— In-game description
Mechanics[edit]
- Creates a light field.
- The listed might is applied to allies within the symbol's radius each pulse.
- Causes a number of small fists to strike the target area. Each fist can hit at most one target, can hit enemies that are outside of the symbol, and are not guaranteed to hit anything even if enemies are within the symbol.
- The number of impacts shown in the tooltip is the most that may occur with a single use of the skill. In practice, some may miss. The damage shown in the tooltip is the expected damage per impact, based on the formula (see Damage).
- The impacts are more spread out with Writ of Persistence, making them less likely to hit an intended target.
- Writ of Persistence increases the number of impacts by 4.
- In PvE the total coefficient for all impacts landing with the symbol ticks is 3.6. With Symbolic Power, this total increases to 4.2. Writ of Persistence will increase the overall coefficient by an additional 50%.
