Notes[edit]

  • Despite the skill description, this Well pulses 4 times, with the first pulse applying on Well placement.
    • The first 3 pulses each deal the listed damage and apply slow.
    • The last pulse applies superspeed and boons (and activates All's Well That Ends Well if you have it traited).

Trivia[edit]

  • The skill icon depicts a d20, a special die often used for pen-and-paper roleplaying games.
  • Well of Action's signature sound effect has a ticking sound, while a low chime rings, getting longer with each pulse. The ending pulse plays the sound of cogs spinning.
