Notes

• The "Charge Virtue skill 1 twice as fast" portion of this skill works as follows:
  • F1 passive burning takes 5 hits to proc by default, 3 with Permeating Wrath.
  • With this trait, symbol hits now count as 2 hits towards proccing the F1 passive instead of 1.
  • For example, if your symbol ticks and hits 5 enemies with this trait (without Permeating Wrath), it will count as 10 hits and you will proc F1 passive burning 2 times instead of 1.
