damagelore.gif Damage Lore

Increases the chance to trigger non-physical Secondary Effects (burn, freeze, weaken, poison) of the respective damage types.

NOTE: Wounds are exempt from the usual rules of other secondary damage effects and Damage Lore has not effect on them. There is no base chance to inflict them with normal physical damage and have to be obtained through other means (CA mods, or items).

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. Non-damaging effects (freeze, weaken) only have their duration increased.
  • Multiple different (not similar) effects can be triggered on a single hit, but only the "first" will get a graphical effect. Using certain Combat Arts character can trigger multiple different Secondary Damage Effects per hit.
  • A monster can be affected by multiple different effects simultaneously, until their duration runs out.
  • Damage Lore increases the chance for the burning (fire), poisoning (poison), weaken (magic) & freeze (ice) effects regardless of the source (normal hits with weapons, weapon-based Combat Arts or non-weapon-based combat arts).
  • The mastery bonus will not affect damage over time effects that are stated in an ingame Combat Art tooltip (Damage over Time, caused by Spell Damage Based Combat Arts - eg, Blazing Tempest). However, it is possible for a monster to be affected by two different types of DoTs: one from the Spell Damage Based Combat Art and one due to the monster being burned.

Breakpoints

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.


Success of Damage Lore via Weapon Damage Based Combat Arts

There are 5 Damage Types.

Each of the four non-physical weapon-based damage types has a chance to trigger a secondary damage effect. Chance to cause Wounds has no innate chance of being caused and has to be gained either through CA mods or items.

Damage Lore will enhance all secondary damage effects that are triggered from a melee or ranged weapon as long as the combat art being used belongs to the class of weapon damage based combat arts. For example, a player who is wielding a sword forged with a lava chunk in it, which provides burn as a secondary damage effect cannot expect burn to trigger when using the Cobalt Strike Combat Art.
