Notes

Bug:

While traited with Moment of Clarity, which increases the daze duration by 50%, the Follow-Up Daze skill fact is duplicated, once displayed with the increased duration of 2 seconds (rounded from 1.875 seconds) and the untraited version of 1.25 seconds. Thus, the Defiance Break value is too high as it considers both instanced of Follow-Up Daze. The increased base Daze for 0.5 seconds grants 100 defiance break, the increased Follow-Up Daze for 1.875 seconds grants 187 defiance break and the untraited duplicate Follow-Up Daze "grants" 125 defiance break. Therefore, the incorrectly displayed Defiance Break value is 100+187+125=412 rather than showing the correct value 100+187=287.

• The first daze with 0.25 seconds causes 100 defiance bar damage and the follow-up daze with 1.25 seconds causes 125 defiance bar damage.
