Notes

Anomalies:

The December 11 update changed the tooltip to match the current actual damage, which follows the damage formula from before the August 28 update:

• (0.55 * Condition Damage) + (0.075 * Level²) + 75.

• This trait interacts with  Parasitic Contagion and heals for a percentage of the damage.
• Targets inflicted with fear while under the effects of  Resistance will still take damage from this trait but will not be crowd controlled.
