Related traits

Fire

• Smothering Auras — Fire auras have increased duration. Applying auras to allies removes conditions, and transmuting auras removes conditions from nearby allies.

Air

• Zephyr's Boon — Grant boons to allies you grant auras to.

Earth

• Elemental Shielding — Auras you grant to allies also grant protection.

Water

• Aquamancer's Training — Increase healing to other allies. Water-weapon skills gain reduced recharge.

Arcane

• Final Shielding — Cast Lesser Arcane Shield when you use an elite skill.
• Bountiful Power — Deal increased strike damage for each boon on you.

Tempest

• Singularity — Attain elemental singularity by remaining in an attunement for a period of time. Upon attaining singularity, you may overload the attunement to your vicinity. Gain access to Shouts.
• Tempestuous Aria — Using a shout grants allies might. Granting an aura to an ally increases your outgoing damage for a period of time.
• Invigorating Torrents — Auras you grant also grant regeneration and vigor.
• Elemental Bastion — Heal allies you grant an aura to. Grant frost aura to nearby allies when struck while below the health threshold.

Notes

• Does not work with falling damage.
• Despite the description, the lethal blow isn't actually ignored - the player still takes the damage, but is prevented from entering a downed state and is immediately healed.
  • If players receive a lethal blow while under the Rebound effect, their health is "set" to the amount healed. So even if their health is higher before (e.g. they get one-shot by Jade Maw) their health is the healed amount afterwards.
• Does not prevent player from being downed by Cardinal Adina's Boulder Barrage.
• If a player is affected by both Rebound and Rigorous Certainty and takes a lethal blow, Rebound is consumed first.

Bug:

Despite the description, allies always receive an aura when the Rebound effect expires, either from lethal damage or natural timeout.

Patch	Changes
October 08, 2024	This skill now grants stability instead of fury.
June 28, 2022	Fury: Critical chance bonus increased from 20% to 25% in PvE only.
February 28, 2022	End of Dragons release: The tempest's shout skills have had their maximum targets reduced from 10 to 5.
October 26, 2021	Multiplicative damage reduction enhancements have been updated to display how much damage was reduced by rather than displaying how much the damage is multiplied by. For example, protection now displays "-33% Damage" instead of "67% damage." This is not a change to functionality; it is only a change to display the bonus in a more intuitively understandable way.
October 05, 2021	All effects that provide a percentage reduction to incoming damage have been standardized to stack multiplicatively.
December 01, 2020	Shout Skills: Increased the maximum number of targets from 5 to 10 in PvE only.
March 05, 2019	This skill now applies 5 seconds of fury to nearby allies in addition to its other effects.
May 16, 2017	The base healing of this ability has been increased by 33%.
December 01, 2015	Fixed a bug that allowed elementalists to revive when Vapor Form ends.
October 23, 2015	Heart of Thorns release: "Rebound!" has been added to the game.

Trivia

• The Rebound effect this skill grants used to cause skills to gain reduced recharges in early development.
• Rigorous Certainty (the effect gained from a Mistlock Singularity) and the Engineer's A.E.D. skill both work similarly.
