Endurance charge

Endurance Charge

Charge

• +4% to all Elemental Resistances per Endurance Charge
• 4% additional Physical Damage Reduction per Endurance Charge

Endurance charges are one of the three charge types. They are associated with strength and represent a temporary increase to the ability to endure pain during combat. They are visualized as glowing red orbs surrounding the character.
