Notes[edit]

  • The 6th rune bonus has no cooldown.
  • The 6th rune bonus will trigger as long as you have dealt damage to that foe.
  • The health restoration of the 6th rune bonus is standard healing and thus will not have an effect on players immune to it, such as those in Shroud or Downed.
  • The prices for armor that contains this are as follows, though it may be more efficient to buy the rune directly off the Trading Post instead:
