Mark
Marks are single-enemy debuffs with a trigger condition. When that condition occurs, the Mark activates, produces its stated result, and is usually consumed. An enemy can have only one Mark at a time by default.0.5.4d

What Mark does
Current rulesUse a Mark whose activation condition matches the build's reliable payoff. Sniper's Mark rewards a Critical Hit, Freezing Mark rewards a Freeze, Voltaic Mark rewards Electrocution, and Bloodhound's Mark converts Blood Loss into Heavy Stun pressure. The global rule allows several different enemies to be Marked, but only one Mark can affect each enemy by default. Individual Mark skills can also impose their own limit on how many targets you may have Marked.
- One Mark per enemy by default
- You can have several Marked enemies, but each individual enemy can have only one Mark at a time by default. Applying another Mark to that enemy replaces the existing Mark rather than adding a second one.
- Activation uses a stated condition
- Every Mark defines the event that activates it. Examples include receiving the next Critical Hit, becoming Frozen, becoming Electrocuted, being Heavy Stunned, or dying after meeting a stated condition.
- Activation usually consumes the Mark
- When a Mark activates, it produces its stated effect and is normally consumed. Consuming a Debuff makes that target immune to that same Debuff for one second.
- Only one consumption benefit occurs
- If one event could consume several effects, only one consumption benefit can occur. Consumption effects from Skills take priority over consumption effects from other sources.
- Global and skill limits are different
- The one-Mark-per-enemy rule controls how many Marks one enemy can carry. A line such as Limit 1 Marked target on a Skill controls how many targets that Skill can keep Marked for you. These are separate restrictions.
- Duration belongs to the Mark skill
- Many current Mark skills state an eight-second Mark duration, but duration is not one universal value for every possible Mark source. Read the Skill for its duration, limit, cooldown, and any condition that prevents ordinary expiration.
- Mark Effect scales stated values
- Increased Effect of Mark Skills scales eligible numeric effects produced by your Mark Skills. It does not automatically change the activation condition, target limit, or duration unless the wording and applicable modifier explicitly affect those properties.
- Marks are not Curses
- Mark and Curse are separate Debuff families. A Mark does not use the target's Curse limit, and Curse Magnitude does not automatically scale a Mark.

6 rules- One enemy cannot carry several different Marks by default.
- A Skill's Limit 1 Marked target is not the same rule as one Mark per enemy.
- Activating a Mark and merely hitting a Marked target are not interchangeable events.
- A consumed Mark cannot be reapplied to that target during its one-second immunity to that Debuff.
- Mark Effect does not automatically scale duration, cooldown, target limit, or trigger conditions.
- Freezing Mark and Voltaic Mark remove their granted Buff if you Mark another target while that Buff is active.

mechanicDebuffsDebuffs are negative effects that deal damage or penalise stats for a duration or while a condition is met.
mechanicDurationDuration is the length of time a skill component, Buff, Debuff, Ailment, Curse, Mark, Minion, Totem, Flask effect, Charm effect, Hazard, or delayed event remains active. Each duration modifier applies only to the effect type it names.
mechanicCritical HitCritical Hits deal +100% extra damage (i.e. twice as much damage) by default. Critical Damage Bonuses can further modify this value.
mechanicFreezeFreeze is a non-damaging Cold Ailment that prevents a target from moving or acting. Cold Hits can Freeze directly or add Freeze Buildup, and reaching 100% Buildup makes the target Frozen.
mechanicElectrocutionElectrocution is a non-damaging Lightning Ailment that interrupts a target and prevents it from performing actions. It lasts five seconds by default, but ordinary Lightning damage cannot build Electrocution without an explicit enabling effect.
mechanicHeavy StunHeavy Stun is the longer disable caused when an enemy's Heavy Stun buildup bar fills. Eligible Hits add buildup based on their damage, and the bar begins to empty after buildup has not been applied for a period.
