— In-game description

Mechanics[edit]

  • The stability and stun break are only applied to the caster on skill activation, regardless of well location.
    • The rest of the effects begin applying immediately after the cast time has finished, which is when the first pulse starts.
  • The Aegis.png Aegis is reapplied every pulse.
  • Will go on full cooldown if it is interrupted before completion.

Notes[edit]

  • Well of Precognition's signature sound effect has a high chime ring, getting longer with each pulse. The ending pulse plays an energy blast.
