Willbender Flames

Willbender Flames are the unique profession mechanic of the willbender, elite specialization of the guardian. They are trails of blue flames that remain on the ground for a short time after using a respective movement Virtue skill. Willbender Flames continuously damage enemies standing within their area of effect and provide additional effects depending on a selected Willbender's trait.

They share the same effect between all three Virtues, and only vary in shape and the number of targets affected. If multiple Virtue skills used in quick succession, only Willbender Flames from the last used Virtue remains active.
