Notes

• The character will occasionally shout out one of the following lines upon activating this skill.
  • Steady your mind.
  • In readiness, stillness.
  • Silence!
• The November 7, 2017 game update introduced a different visualisation for Winds of Disenchantment cast by an enemy in Player versus Player or World vs World to make them distinguishable. While a bubble casted by an ally is shining clearly golden, an enemy casted bubble appears in a dirty golden sheen.
• This skill does not immediately remove newly applied boons, instead it makes foes immune to receiving any boons from any source in PvE and PvP.

Bug:

Channeling this skill applies Revealed to the caster.
