Traits that are improved by this trait

Corruption

• Replenishing Despair — While maintaining an upkeep skill, your energy pips are increased, but you apply torment to yourself every interval.
• Abyssal Chill — When you chill a foe, you also inflict torment on them.
• Diabolic Inferno — Invoke Torment applies poison and burning.

Retribution

• Dwarven Battle Training — Deal increased strike damage to weakened foes. Disabling a foe applies weakness. Disables include stun, daze, knockback, pull, knockdown, sink, float, fear, taunt, and launch.

Salvation

• Blinding Truths — Blind nearby foes when you use a healing skill.

Devastation

• Expose Defenses — Your first attack when entering combat applies vulnerability. This ability is refreshed when you use an elite skill.

Renegade

• Ashen Demeanor — Disabling a foe cripples your enemy, which leaves them vulnerable and inspires you with Kalla's Fervor.

Notes

• The outgoing condition duration increase is capped at 100% and is an addition of 15% of the base duration (without any other condition duration modifier) to the condition duration, like for instance Sigil of Malice.
• You cannot double-dip into this effect by intentionally receiving conditions and then sending them out via  Permeating Pestilence for a further increased duration.

Bug:

Increased condition duration is not reflected in the hero panel or skill facts.
