Notes[edit]

Skill bar showing the Justice effect
  • The passive applies the Virtue of Justice.png Virtue of Justice effect and the active the Virtue of Justice.png Justice on the player character.
  • As the guardian attacks, the left half of the skill bar will show a blue flame of increasing intensity, until the effect of Justice is available and the next hit causes burning. The hit counter is conserved across combat sessions (the effect remains when combat ends).
  • Allows skills that hit multiple times to trigger burning more rapidly. Area of Effect skills that hit multiple targets at once can also count as multiple hits.
  • The duration of the active effect is 20 seconds (i.e. the next attack will burn if performed within the next 20 sec).
  • The active effect will only trigger on 1 target even if the skill used to trigger it hits multiple targets.
  • The burning damage of the active effect when applied to an ally is based on the ally's Condition Damage, not the guardian's.
