Sustained

A Hit is an instantaneous damage event. Any damage that is not damage over time is Hit damage, whether it comes from an Attack, a Spell, Thorns, or another effect.

Critical Hits deal +100% extra damage (i.e. twice as much damage) by default. Critical Damage Bonuses can further modify this value.

Duration 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.

Area of Effect, usually shortened to AoE, describes a skill component that applies to targets inside an area instead of selecting only one target. The area can be a circle, cone, line, ring, or another shape defined by the skill.

Damage is classified on three independent axes: source, delivery, and type. A component can come from an Attack, Spell, Thorns, or another source; deal a Hit or damage over time; and deal Physical, Fire, Cold, Lightning, or Chaos damage.

A Channelling skill continues one skill use while its input is held. Some build power for a release, while others repeatedly attack or apply effects during the channel.

While active, conjures an icy barrier that gains stages over time. While the barrier has stages, Melee Attacks that hit you will remove a stage to cause a burst of ice that deals Cold Spell damage to the attacker.

Deploy a Ballista Totem that rains down a salvo of Pinning, Maiming bolts.

Fire a slow-moving Projectile that moves through enemies. The Projectile itself does not Hit enemies, but repeatedly discharges bolts of Lightning at nearby enemies. Consumes a Fire Infusion if possible to slow down over time, create Ignited Ground as it travels, and explode dealing Fire damage in an Area after it dissipates.

Rain a storm of flaming bolts over the targeted area. Can Consume all three types of Elemental Infusion, creating a much larger storm when Fire-Infused, causing lightning bolts when Lightning-Infused, and raining ice bolts when Cold-Infused.

Gain a Buff that boosts your Shock chance. Shocking an enemy consumes the Buff to attach an Orb of electricity to that enemy. The Orb fires bolts of electricity at nearby enemies until it expires.

Conjure a hail of icy bolts over the targeted area. Chill and Freeze on enemies in front of you are Consumed to fuel the Icestorm by creating improved bolts.

Gain fuel by spending Mana on any Skill, then use the accumulated fuel to conjure a torrent of Fire from your hand, Igniting enemies in front of you. The flames grow stronger the longer you Channel. Consumes a Fire Infusion if possible to also create Ignited Ground. Cannot gain fuel while using this skill.

Fire an arrow that drops from above, creating a Lightning burst. The arrow remains in the ground, and any Chaining Lightning beams can Chain to it. When Chained to, the arrows charge up for a brief period before releasing another Lightning burst. The Lightning Arrow Skill reduces this delay, causing bursts to happen more quickly.

Create an Orb of electricity that fires Chaining Lightning bolts at nearby enemies. The Orb leaves behind a Lightning Infusion Remnant when it expires.

Fire a hail of arrows into the air, causing them to rain from above. Consumes a Frenzy Charge to fire more arrows.

Shapeshift into a Bear and charge forward, Slamming the ground as you run. Channelling ends after a short amount of time but can be prolonged by spending Rage.

Repeatedly hammer your Shield with your weapon causing damaging shockwaves in an area around you. Enemies hit by the shockwave lose Armour for a duration. While Channelling Resonating Shield, your Shield is raised and you will Block all incoming Blockable hits.

Deploy a Ballista Totem that fires bolts skyward, to explode a short time after landing.

Load your Crossbow with enemy-seeking payloads which are fired into the air, dropping a bolt near every enemy in the target area. These bolts lodge in the ground and explode after a short delay.

Create a fiery Orb that periodically releases fiery pulses. Enemies that are very close to the Orb are Ignited. Flameblast can target a Solar Orb to be centred on the Orb instead of your location.

Build Glory by inflicting Freeze, Shock or Ignite on enemies. When you have maximum Glory you may call forth the Azmeri goddess Solaris, jumping backwards and throwing your Spear in the air. On landing the spear deals heavy damage in an area, then calls a divine skybeam that pulses periodically and creates expanding Ignited Ground. Modifiers to number of Projectiles fired do not apply to this skill.

Stab the ground causing multiple spears to burst out of the ground in front of you in a large area. The spears remain for a duration, or explode when enemies touch them, damaging and Maiming them.

Load your Bow with a volley of enchanted arrows and fire them in a circle as you spin forward, firing directly at targets if possible. Consumes Frenzy Charges to cause the arrows to deal more damage and Chain to other targets. Each target can only be Hit once.

Throw an electrified Spear that lodges in the ground and periodically zaps nearby enemies with Lightning bolts. If the Spear is Detonated by another Skill, it immediately unleashes a volley of bolts and expires. Consumes a Frenzy Charge if possible to fire bolts more frequently for a shorter duration, automatically Detonate at the end of its duration, and create Shocked Ground on Detonation.

Build Combo by successfully Striking Enemies with other skills. After reaching maximum Combo, use this skill to cause the Bell on your staff to grow to massive size as you drop it on the ground. The Bell damages enemies on impact and can be Hit by your skills, creating a damaging shockwave. Elemental Ailments applied to the Bell cause its shockwaves to deal extra damage of the corresponding type, and Hits which would have caused Knockback increase the area of effect of the shockwaves.

Conjure a thunderstorm which causes lightning strikes and torrential rain in an area. Enemies in the area are Drenched, causing them to become Shocked or Frozen more easily. Plants in the area become Overgrown.

Slam the ground, creating a branching Molten Fissure that deals damage as it travels and remains for a duration. Using a different Slam on a Molten Fissure creates a spreading Aftershock.

Uplift a volcano from the earth, damaging enemies standing on it and releasing a spray of molten Projectiles. While the volcano persists, Slamming it will cause another Projectile spray. Channelling this Skill for longer makes the initial eruption more violent, but does not affect subsequent Projectile sprays.

Consume all Frenzy Charges to perform a gigantic spear thrust that Knocks Back enemies. For each Frenzy Charge consumed, a Wind Serpent follows in the spear's wake. Each Serpent also damages and Knocks Back enemies.
