An effect periodically applied by Cerus to players during Petrify, his defiance bar attack. Reduces outgoing strike damage, outgoing condition damage, movement speed, and skill casting speed by 10% per stack. Each stack lasts 7 seconds.

Notes[edit]

  • One stack is applied every 0.7 seconds while the defiance bar of Cerus is active, first stack is applied immediately. This is an intensity-stacking effect and every individual stack lasts 7 seconds.
  • Upon breaking the defiance bar of Cerus, two longest-lasting stacks of this buff are removed. All remaining stacks stay until their individual durations run out. To avoid any stacks lasting beyond the defiance bar attack, it needs to be broken in less than 1.4 seconds.
  • The condition damage reduction is evaluated on every condition damage tick; condition stacks that are applied with this effect will not have reduced damage on damage ticks that happen after the effect runs out.
  • This effect is applied in all modes and behaves the same.
  • This effect is not visible in the user interface.
