Mastery
- At Level 75 Damage Lore increases effectiveness and duration of Secondary Effects.
- Unlocks the "Additional Damage/Duration of Secondary Effects" skill property.
Properties
- The chance bonus stacks with any bonuses from items, though there are diminishing returns.
- Mastering the skill increases the Effects' damage and duration, once they are triggered.
- Multiple effects can be triggered on a single hit, but only the "first" will get a graphical effect. Using certain Combat Arts that cause Secondary Effects can trigger multiple Effects per hit.
- A monster can be affected by multiple effects simultaneously, until their duration runs out.
- The mastery bonus will not affect damage over time effects that are stated in an ingame Combat Art tooltip (eg, Blazing Tempest), however, it is possible for a monster to be affected by two different types of DoTs, one from the Combat Art and one due to the monster being Burned.
Breakpoints
- The bonuses are increased in steps as shown in the Damage Lore full table.
The Increase in Effectiveness mastery bonus at a given skill level x is given fairly precisely by the following formulas:
- 450*(x-32.5)/(x+66) + 100
The bold marked number is the smallest upper bound of this progression, which will never at any skill level be exceeded.
As an example, effectiveness increase value at x=75:
450*(75-32.5)/(75+66) + 100 = 450*42.5/141 + 100 = 235.64
This value compared with the table value is a good example of the precision the formula offers.
