+25% Ammo Capacity.

stat buff: ammo_reserve_capacity

Increases Arbitrator's maximum ammo in reserve by 25%, rounds down.

15% Damage for 5s after Successful Dodge.

stat buff: damage

Increases any damage by 15% for 5s; can be refreshed during active duration. Cyber-Mastiff is unaffected. Stacks additively with other damage buffs, and multiplicatively with power level buffs.

Procs on successfully dodging enemy melee or ranged attacks (except Gunners, Reaper, Sniper), and disabler attacks (Pox Hound jump, Trapper net, Mutant grab). 'Successful dodge' means dodging an enemy attack that is locked on the player with an accordingly timed dodge or sliding action.

The Ghost, Hit & Run and Stripped Down weapon blessings can proc this talent (only against ranged attacks).

+25 Toughness.

stat buff: toughness

Adds 25 toughness to Arbitrator's base maximum toughness of 80 thereby increasing Arbitrator's max toughness; stacks additively with Plasteel Plates.

Current max toughness is multiplied by the toughness percentage buffs from curios. For example, at 105 max toughness (Arbitrator's base 80 and 25 from this talent) with one +17% toughness curio with a +4% toughness perk, Arbitrator's max toughness of 105 is increased by 105×(0.17+0.04)=22.05 to 127.05 toughness (HUD rounds up: 128).

A character's maximum toughness is the base value that is used in toughness replenished calculations of most talents and blessings.

Klling Pounced Targets grants Allies in Coherency +20% Toughness Damage Reduction and +10% Toughness over 5s.

stat buff: toughness_damage_taken_multiplier

function: recover_percentage_toughness

When human-sized enemies who are disabled ('pounced') by Cyber-Mastiff are killed by Cyber-Mastiff or a player, does two things for Arbitrator and allies who are in coherency with Arbitrator:

(1) Grants 20% toughness damage reduction for 5s; can be refreshed during active duration. Stacks multiplicatively with other damage reduction buffs.

(2) Replenishes 2% of maximum toughness per second for 5 seconds; can be refreshed during active duration. The effectiveness of this toughness replenishment is affected by certain player debuffs like toxic gas.

These two effects do not stack with the same talent from another Arbitrator.

Melee Weakspot hits make the enemy count as Staggered for 4s.

buff keyword: count_as_staggered

Melee hits against enemy weakspots apply a debuff that makes the target count as being staggered for 4s; can be refreshed during active duration. Can also be applied with melee special actions of ranged weapons. This debuff allows Arbitrator's Breaking Dissent, Final Warning, Force of Will, Forceful, Hold the Line, Strike Down, Suppression Force, and Target the Weak to proc consistently against any debuffed target as if the target had been put into staggered state before.

The best use case is against targets that are hard (or impossible) to stagger by usual means like monstrosities, Captains/Twins, or enemies buffed by the Havoc mutator 'The Final Toll'.

For example, with Target the Weak, the first hit would apply Concussive's fake stagger debuff, the second hit would apply Target the Weak's damage taken debuff, and the third hit (and subsequent ones) would then benefit from the damage increase.

Note that this talent's debuff also allows consistent procs for weapon blessings Execution, Opportunist, Skullcrusher, Smackdown, and Thunderstrike.

Interaction with Skullcrusher
While Concussive's debuff allows to apply and refresh Skullcrusher stacks on a target at any time, the blessing's damage increase, however, can only be procced and benefited from during its initial 5s duration after which it does not apply anymore because Concussive's debuff cannot keep the target in a 'proper' staggered state. In order to benefit from Skullcrusher's damage increase again, Concussive's debuff has to run out first and then be reapplied (or the target has to be actually staggered).

+25% Damage vs Suppressed Enemies.

stat buff: damage_vs_suppressed

Increases any damage against enemies who are suppressed by 25%; Cyber-Mastiff is unaffected. Stacks additively with other damage buffs, and multiplicatively with power level buffs.

Breeds that can be suppressed: Armored Groaner, Groaner, Dreg Gunner, Dreg Stalker, Radio Operator, Reaper, Scab Gunner, Scab Shooter, Scab Stalker

Pushing grants 75% Cleave for 5s.

stat buff: max_melee_hit_mass_attack_modifier

Pushing enemies increases the maximum hit mass limit of melee attacks by 75% for 5s, thereby allowing melee attacks to cleave more enemies; can be refreshed during active duration. The push action does not need to stagger the enemy (procs against monstrosities, Bulwark/Vanguards shield, Captains/Twins void shield). Stacks additively with related buff from Targets Acquired, the small cleave node, weapon blessings Devastating Strike, Savage Sweep, and Wrath, and multiplicatively with power level buffs.

15% Ranged Damage on Melee Staggering Hits. Lasts 5s.

stat buff: ranged_damage

Hits with melee attacks, pushes and Break the Line (direct impact) that successfully stagger the target (including hits against already staggered targets) increase the damage of ranged attacks by 15% for 5s; can be refreshed during active duration. Stacks additively with other related damage buffs, and multiplicatively with power level buffs.

Replenish 7.5% Toughness on Staggering Melee Attack.

function: recover_percentage_toughness

Hits with melee attacks and Break the Line (direct impact) that successfully stagger the target (including hits against already staggered targets) replenish 7.5% of maximum toughness; procs once per attack regardless of how many enemies have been staggered.

The effectiveness of this talent's toughness replenishment is affected by certain player debuffs like toxic gas.

+10% Melee Attack Speed for 3s on hitting 3 or more enemies with a Melee Attack.

stat buff: melee_attack_speed

Hitting at least 3 enemies with a melee attack increases melee weapon attack animation speed by 10% for 3s; can be refreshed during active duration. Stacks additively with related buffs from Execution Order, Inspiring Recitation, Lone Wolf, Obstinate, Retaliatory Force, and Celerity Stimm.

Staggering an Enemy grants 1 stack(s) of +3% Damage Resistance, on the next Melee hit taken. Stacking 5 times and lasting 8s. Staggering Non-Human Sized Enemies grants 5 stack(s).

stat buff: damage_taken_multiplier

Hits with melee and ranged attacks, pushes, explosions, Break the Line (direct impact), Voltaic Shock Mine, and Cyber-Mastiff (only against human-sized enemies) that successfully stagger the target (including hits against already staggered targets) grant stacks (up to 5); stacks last for 8s or until taking a melee hit, and can be refreshed during active duration. Generates either 1 stack or 5 stacks depending on the staggered target:

Per stack, reduces both toughness and health damage taken by 3%; the buff stacks multiplicatively with itself, up to ~14.1% damage reduction at max stacks (1-0.97⁵=0.1412), and with other damage reduction buffs.

Gain +25% Damage Resistance for 5s after Elite or Specialist Kill.

stat buff: damage_taken_multiplier

Killing an elite or a special reduces both toughness and health damage taken by 25% for 5s; can be refreshed during active duration. Stacks multiplicatively with other damage reduction buffs.

This talent also procs on kills by Cyber-Mastiff.

20% Reload Speed on next reload after Elite Kill or Specialist Kill.

stat buff: reload_speed

Killing an elite or a special increases reload animation speed by 20% for the next reload action; stacks additively with reload speed buff from Ruthless Efficiency and Celerity Stimm. This also increases the speed of the loading special action of Exterminator Shotguns and Combat Shotguns.

This talent also procs on kills by Cyber-Mastiff.

+2% Damage on Successful Attack. 5 Max Stacks. Lasts 5s.

stat buff: damage

Hitting enemies with melee and ranged attacks, pushes, explosions, Break the Line, Voltaic Shock Mine, and Cyber-Mastiff grants stacks (up to 5); generates 1 stack per attack. Stacks last for 5s and can be refreshed during active duration. Per stack, increases any damage by 2% (up to +10%); Cyber-Mastiff is unaffected. Stacks additively with other damage buffs, and multiplicatively with power level buffs.

Replenish 5% Toughness per second while within 8m of your Cyber-Mastiff.

function: recover_percentage_toughness

If Cyber-Mastiff is within 8m to Arbitrator, replenishes 5% of maximum toughness per second. This effect is disabled while Arbitrator is disabled or knocked down. Does not interact with coherency toughness regeneration.

The effectiveness of this talent's toughness replenishment is affected by certain player debuffs like toxic gas.

+15% Movement Speed on Ranged Hit. Lasts 3s.

stat buff: movement_speed

Hitting enemies with ranged attacks (including grenade/shock mine direct impact hits) increases movement speed by 15% for 3s; can be refreshed during active duration. Stacks additively with related buff from Castigator's Stance, No Escape, Not Far Behind, and multiplicatively with the sprint speed buff from Rapid Movement.

+20% Damage to Ogryns and Monstrosities.

stat buff: damage_vs_ogryn_and_monsters

Increases any damage against enemies with the ogryn tag (Bulwark, Crusher, Pack Master, Reaper) and against enemies with the monster tag (Beast of Nurgle, Chaos Spawn, Daemonhosts, Pack Master, Plague Ogryn); Cyber-Mastiff is unaffected. Stacks additively with other damage buffs, and multiplicatively with power level buffs.

Does not buff damage against Captains/Twins who do not have the monster tag.

+10% Damage and +10% Movement Speed on Elite or Specialist Kill. Lasts 4s.

stat buffs:
damage
movement_speed

Killing an elite or a special does two things for 4s (can be refreshed during active duration):

(1) Increases any damage by 10%; Cyber-Mastiff is unaffected. Stacks additively with other damage buffs, and multiplicatively with power level buffs.

(2) Increases movement speed by 10%; stacks additively with related buff from Castigator's Stance, March, Not Far Behind, and multiplicatively with sprint speed buff from Rapid Movement.

This talent also procs on kills by Cyber-Mastiff.

+25 Toughness.

stat buff: toughness

Adds 25 toughness to Arbitrator's base maximum toughness of 80 thereby increasing Arbitrator's max toughness; stacks additively with Arbitrator Armour.

Current max toughness is multiplied by the toughness percentage buffs from curios. For example, at 105 max toughness (Arbitrator's base 80 and 25 from this talent) with one +16% toughness curio with a +5% toughness perk, Arbitrator's max toughness of 105 is increased by 105×(0.16+0.05)=22.05 to 127.05 toughness (HUD rounds up: 128).

A character's maximum toughness is the base value that is used in toughness replenished calculations of most talents and blessings.

+15% Clip Size, rounded up.

stat buff: clip_size_modifier

Increases Arbitrator's maximum ammo in clip by 15%, rounds up. For example, Arbitrator with a weapon that has a max clip size of 2 bullets will now have a clip size of 2×1.15=2.3 bullets which is rounded up to 3.

+20% Rending on Ranged Critical Strike.

stat buff: ranged_critical_strike_rending_multiplier

Grants 20% rending to critical ranged attacks boosting damage against armor types Carapace, Flak, Maniac, Unyielding. Only affects Arbitrator's own damage. Stacks additively with other rending buffs ('rending') and with rending debuffs that are applied to enemies ('brittleness').

Sliding increases Sprint Speed by +5% for 5s. Kills restore +5% Stamina. 0.75s Cooldown.

stat buff: sprint_movement_speed

function: add_stamina_percent

This talent does two things:

(1) Sliding increases sprinting speed by 5% for 5s; can be refreshed during active duration. This sprint speed buff stacks multiplicatively with movement speed buffs from March, No Escape, Not Far Behind, and weapon blessings like Rev It Up.

(2) Killing enemies replenishes 5% of maximum stamina; has an internal cooldown of 0.75s. This stamina replenishment also procs on kills by Cyber-Mastiff.

Enemies knocked away by your Cyber Mastiff's Pounce have 6 Stack(s) of Bleed applied to them.

Cyber-Mastiff applies 6 stacks of Bleed to enemies under two conditions:

(1) When Cyber-Mastiff disables ('pounces') a human-sized enemy, it creates a non-damaging explosion with a 2m radius. Enemies within radius receive Bleed stacks.

(2) When Cyber-Mastiff jumps at any target, it applies Bleed stacks to the target on impact.

Can apply up to 16 Bleed stacks max on a target; can apply Bleed through Bulwark/Vanguards shield (always), and Captains/Twins void shield (if pouncing a human-sized target that is within 2m). For details on Bleed, see 'Damage over Time Effects' section.

Note that this talent's Bleed effect is unaffected by player buffs. Only rending debuffs ('brittleness') and damage taken debuffs on the target can increase Bleed damage.

+20% Corruption Resistance and +75% Reduced Damage Taken from Toxic Gas.

stat buffs:
corruption_taken_multiplier
damage_taken_from_toxic_gas_multiplier

Reduces corruption damage taken by any enemy source that is dealing corruption damage by 20%; this includes Poxburster explosion, toxic gas, Poxwalker melee attacks, Pox Hound pounce, Beast of Nurgle vomit/slime/consumed, Daemonhost, grimoires, radiation (Expeditions mode), etc.

Also reduces corruption damage taken by toxic gas by 75%. Toxic gas is created by Dreg Tox Bomber grenades, the 'Pox Gas' mutator, and Karnak Twins events (ambush, boss fight).

These two damage reductions stack multiplicatively with each other (i.e. this talent by itself provides Arbitrator with 80% damage reduction against toxic gas; 1-0.8×0.25=0.8). They also stack multiplicatively with Corruption Resistance from curios, and other damage reduction buffs.

Gain 15% Reduced Block Cost. On Perfect Block gain +15% Damage and +15% Attack Speed for 8s.

stat buffs:
block_cost_multiplier
damage
attack_speed

Reduces the stamina cost when blocking melee or ranged attacks (shields only) by 15%; stacks multiplicatively with Block Efficiency from curios and melee weapon perks, with the Last Guard weapon blessing, and with the stamina cost reduction buff from Zealot's aura Zealous and Celerity Stimm.

Additionally, on perfect block, this talent does two things for 8s (can be refreshed during active duration):

(1) Increases any damage by 15%; Cyber-Mastiff is unaffected. Stacks additively with other damage buffs, and multiplicatively with power level buffs.

(2) Increases attack animation speed of both ranged and melee weapons by 15%; stacks additively with related buff from Execution Order, Hammer of Judgement, Inspiring Recitation, Lone Wolf, Obstinate, Targets Acquired, and Celerity Stimm.

'Perfect block' refers to perfect blocking. This is a blocking state which requires a successfully executed block action within 0.3s against an incoming attack. If the character has been blocking for longer than 0.3s when the to-be-blocked attack hits, it is not a perfect block. By default, a perfect block has no benefit. It is considered as a proc condition.

Your Cyber-Mastiff applies 6 Stacks of Brittleness on attack.

stat buff: rending_multiplier

When Cyber-Mastiff attacks, the initial hit applies 6 rending debuff stacks ('brittleness') to the target boosting damage against armor types Carapace, Flak, Maniac, Unyielding; also boosts Cyber-Mastiff's damage.

Each stack applies 2.5% rending (up to 40% max at 16 stacks), lasts 5s, and can be refreshed during active duration. Stacks additively with other rending debuffs ('brittleness'), and with rending buffs that only boost a character's own damage ('rending').

The following table lists all rending debuffs that are currently in the game. They stack separately with each other in regard to the total rending amount on a target:

On Block, replenish 15% Toughness over 3s. On Perfect Block, instantly replenish 10% Toughness. 1s Cooldown.

function: recover_percentage_toughness

This talent does two things:

(1) Blocking a melee or ranged attack (shields only) always replenishes 5% of maximum toughness per second for 3 seconds; can be refreshed during active duration.

(2) If an attack is blocked with a perfect block, immediately replenishes 10% of maximum toughness (additionally to the toughness replenishment over time effect); has an internal cooldown of 1s.

'Perfect block' refers to perfect blocking. This is a blocking state which requires a successfully executed block action within 0.3s against an incoming attack. If the character has been blocking for longer than 0.3s when the to-be-blocked attack hits, it is not a perfect block. By default, a perfect block has no benefit. It is considered as a proc condition.

The effectiveness of this talent's toughness replenishment is affected by certain player debuffs like toxic gas.

Weakspot Hits grant 2% Weakspot Strength. 8 Max Stacks. Lasts 10s.

stat buff: weakspot_power_level_modifier

Weakspot hits with melee and ranged attacks grant stacks (up to 8); stacks last for 10s and can be refreshed during active duration. Per stack, increases the power level of melee and ranged attacks against weakspots by 2% (up to +16%); stacks additively with itself and with other power level buffs, and multiplicatively with damage buffs.

'Power level buffs' increase the base power of attacks which benefits damage, stagger, and cleave (where applicable).

Gain +1 Effective Dodges and +25% Dodge Duration.

stat buffs:
extra_consecutive_dodges
dodge_linger_time_modifier

This talent does two things:

(1) Adds one effective dodge at all times; the total amount of effective dodges a character can perform varies depending on the dodge template of the currently wielded weapon or item.

(2) Increases Arbitrator's base dodge linger time against melee attacks of 0.2s by 25% to 0.25s. 'Dodge linger time' refers to the time window in which a character is still considered to be in is_dodging state against an incoming attack after a dodge has technically ended. This makes the dodge window more forgiving in regard to player input timing.

+15% Melee Rending on Staggered Enemies.

stat buff: melee_rending_vs_staggered_multiplier

Against enemies who are staggered, grants 15% rending to melee attacks boosting damage against armor types Carapace, Flak, Maniac, Unyielding. Only affects Arbitrator's own damage, Cyber-Mastiff is unaffected. Stacks additively with other rending buffs ('rending') and with rending debuffs that are applied to enemies ('brittleness').

Staggering an Enemy makes them deal -20% Damage. Lasts 5s.

Hits with melee attacks, pushes, and Break the Line (direct impact) that successfully stagger the target (including hits against already staggered targets) apply a debuff to enemies that reduces the damage of all their attacks against toughness and health by 20%; does not stack with the same debuff from another Arbitrator. Can also be applied with melee special actions of ranged weapons. The debuff lasts for 5s and can be refreshed during active duration. Stacks additively with the related debuff (only against enemy melee attacks) from Fear of Justice. This reduction of damage dealt stacks multiplicatively during calculation with any applicable damage reduction on the player side (talents, curios, etc).

Hitting 3 or more enemies with an Attack grants you +20% Toughness Damage Reduction for 5s.

stat buff: toughness_damage_taken_multiplier

Hitting at least 3 enemies with melee and ranged attacks, pushes, explosions, and Break the Line grants 20% toughness damage reduction for 5s; can be refreshed during active duration. Stacks multiplicatively with other damage reduction buffs.

function: recover_percentage_toughness

Killing an elite or a special does two things:

(1) Immediately replenishes 10% of maximum toughness per kill; can proc multiple times when cleaving. If it is a melee kill, this talent procs additionally to Arbitrator's base 5% of maximum toughness gained on melee kill.

(2) Additionally per kill, replenishes 2.5% of maximum toughness per second for 4s. This replenishment over time effect can proc multiple times when cleaving and stacks without a cap (the default HUD displays only a limited amount of buff icons).

The effectiveness of this talent's toughness replenishment is affected by certain player debuffs like toxic gas.

This talent also procs on kills by Cyber-Mastiff.

15% Damage to Enemies above 75% Health.

stat buff: damage_vs_healthy

Against enemies whose health is above 75%, increases any damage by 15%; Cyber-Mastiff is unaffected. Stacks additively with other damage buffs, and multiplicatively with power level buffs.

stat buffs:
damage_vs_elites
damage_vs_specials

Enemies staggered by your Melee Attacks take +15% more Melee Damage for 5s.

stat buff: melee_damage_taken_modifier

Hits with melee attacks, pushes and Break the Line (direct impact) that successfully stagger the target (including hits against already staggered targets) apply a debuff to enemies that increases their melee damage taken by 15%; does not stack with the same debuff from another Arbitrator. Can also be applied with melee special actions of ranged weapons. The debuff lasts for 5s and can be refreshed during active duration. Stacks additively with damage taken debuffs from Hive Scum's Virulent Strain, Ogryn's Hard Knocks, Soften Them Up, Pickaxe (weapon special), and Skitarius' Artificer Servo-Skull / Servo-Skull; and multiplicatively with the damage taken debuff from Nuncio-Aquila and others, with damage buffs, and with power level buffs.

+15% Melee Damage and +30% Impact on first Enemy hit with each attack.

stat buffs:
melee_damage
impact_modifier

Only against the first target hit by a melee attack, does two things:

(1) Increases melee damage by 15%; stacks additively with other related damage buffs, and multiplicatively with power level buffs.

(2) Increases the stagger strength by 30%; stacks additively with other stagger buffs, and multiplicatively with power level buffs.

Limit the maximum Health Damage Taken from an Attack to 50.

buff keyword: limit_health_damage_taken

stat buff: max_health_damage_taken_per_hit

Limits the maximum amount of health damage taken from any enemy attack to 50 (if the attack were to deal more than 50 health damage). Also applies to fall damage. Does not interact with any source of damage reduction. If an attack deals a portion of its damage as corruption damage (e.g. Poxwalker melee hits, Havoc enemies, etc), the appropriate amount of corruption damage will be dealt first, before the regular health damage amount, until the 50 damage limit.

Replenish 5% Toughness on Close Kill.

function: recover_percentage_toughness

Killing an enemy who is within 12.5m to Arbitrator with any attack (excluding DoT kills) replenishes 5% of maximum toughness. If it is a melee kill, this talent procs additionally to Arbitrator's base 5% of maximum toughness gained on melee kill. The effectiveness of this talent's toughness replenishment is affected by certain player debuffs like toxic gas.

This talent also procs on kills by Cyber-Mastiff.

Your Cyber-Mastiff Electrocutes enemies it attacks for 5s.

Cyber-Mastiff's attacks also apply Electrocution to the target; does not proc against Pack Master.

Electrocution: lasts 5s; deals 57.5 base damage with decent armor damage modifiers across the board; deals damage and stagger in a tick interval between 0.3s and 0.8s (randomly chosen); staggers all enemies except Mutants, Poxburster, monstrosities and Captains/Twins; for details on Electrocution, see 'Damage over Time Effects' section.

Electrocution damage is increased by 'rending' / 'brittleness', by perks of currently wielded weapons, by Combat Stimm, and by the following buffs from:

Spending 1 Stamina replenishes 10% Toughness over 3s.

function: recover_percentage_toughness

After spending at least 1 stamina by sprinting, pushing, blocking, jumping while sprinting, or dodge-canceling revved up attacks (1 spent stamina is equal to one fully depleted segment of the stamina bar, only if the 'Show Stamina with 25% dividers' setting is set to off in the game's 'Interface' options), replenishes 3.33% of maximum toughness per second for 3s; can be refreshed during active duration.

The effectiveness of this talent's toughness replenishment is affected by certain player debuffs like toxic gas.

There is currently a bug: The talent also procs when switching between weapons with different stamina templates.

Cause an Explosion at your Cyber-Mastiff's Location. Staggering and Electrocuting nearby Enemies. 2 Charges. 50s Cooldown.

Upon use, does two things: (1) It causes an explosion at the location of the Cyber-Mastiff dealing mainly damage to enemies within radius, and (2) it releases a shout at the location of the Cyber-Mastiff applying Electrocution and mainly stagger to enemies.

Explosion:
• Explosion radius: 4m (max), 2m (epicenter)
• Suppression radius (explosion): 15m
• Explosion damage: enemies inside epicenter will take more damage, enemies between epicenter and max radius will take less damage depending on distance; base damage epicenter: 600, base damage between epicenter and max radius: 200 (decreases to 0 at max radius)
• Armor damage modifiers (explosion):

Shout:
• Shout radius: 5m
• Suppression: deals decent suppression to suppressible targets within radius
• Stagger: forces a light stagger on all enemies within radius for 2.5s
• Electrocution: has a tick interval between 0.1s and 0.3s (randomly chosen); lasts for 2s; deals up to 64 base damage per tick when reaching max charge level at 2s; the time before the first damage tick can happen depends on enemy hit mass, so the more hit mass an enemy has the longer it will take before this Electrocution effect deals damage; increases the damage enemies take by 10% for as long as the Electrocution deals damage to them
• Armor damage modifiers (Electrocution):

Buff Interactions: the damage of both the explosion and the Electrocution effect is affected by 'rending' / 'brittleness', by perks of currently wielded weapons, by Combat Stimm, and by the following buffs from:

Charges:
• Amount: 2

• Deals very low direct impact damage
• Arming time: 1s after landing
• Lifetime: 150s; this is the time the shock mine remains armed on the ground before it self-destructs if it is not triggered
• Active Duration: 15s; this is the time the shock mine remains on the ground before it self-destructs once it has been triggered
• Range: 3m
• Spread: once triggered, checks for targets every 0.2s within range; spreads Electrocution to up to 4 targets per check
• Electrocution: lasts 3s; deals 8 base damage; deals damage and stagger in a tick interval between 0.3s and 0.8s (randomly chosen); staggers all enemies in range except Mutants, Poxburster, monstrosities and Captains/Twins; ignores Bulwark/Vanguards shield; can be refreshed during active duration; for details on Electrocution, see 'Damage over Time Effects' section
