Notes[edit]

  • When cast, this skill removes one condition from you. When the projectile damages a foe, it copies the removed condition to that foe.
  • Damage value is calculated with the weapon strength of the active weapon before shroud is activated. Wiki value assumes unequipped value of 690.5
  • The trait Dhuumfire replaces this skill with the skill Dhuumfire.
