Endurance

The endurance bar is displayed above the health orb.

Endurance is the resource used to dodge incoming attacks to evade them. The endurance pool is shown as a yellow bar just above the health orb.

Each dodge requires 50% endurance, meaning that characters can dodge twice in a row when at 100% endurance. Endurance regenerates over time, at a base rate of 5% per second and a max rate of 10% per second – effects which grant additional endurance regeneration do not stack beyond 100% regeneration rate. While endurance is regenerating, the endurance bar will blink when it's half full, indicating that it's possible to dodge again.

Trivia

• Prior to the Beta, endurance was instead known as energy. When attempting to dodge with insufficient endurance, the game still says "Not enough energy".
• Prior to the Gamescom 2011 demo, energy was a long term resource used for the activation of active skills and maintenance of passive skills. Whenever a skill was activated, a percentage of the total energy was expended.
