Brutal Fervour

Brutal Fervour

Ascendancy Notable Passive Skill

Life Leech effects are not removed when Unreserved Life is Filled
10% reduced Damage taken while Leeching
100% increased Maximum Recovery per Life Leech [1]

Brutal Fervour is a notable Ascendancy passive skill for the Slayer that grants increased maximum recovery from each life leech instance and damage reduction while leeching life. It also modifies life leech effects to not get removed when the player reaches full life.

This effect does not work with Ghost Reaver, as leech effects are removed at full energy shield. In the case of instant life leech effects, such as Bloodseeker or legacy versions of Atziri's Acuity, the leech will end immediately regardless of whether you are at full life or not, as Brutal Fervour does not preserve or store such effects.
