Expiration rate

Expiration rate is term used to described anything that alters the temporary effect rate making it last longer or shorter.

Mechanics

Changing the expiration rate of temporary effects will make them last longer or shorter on the target.

• Despite changing the total time that temporary effects last, it does not increase or decrease the duration of that temporary effect. For most characters this difference does not matter. The difference only matters for bonuses and downsides that apply to having increased or decreased duration on a temporary effect.

Temporary effects that are affected by expiration rate include buffs, debuffs, curses, flasks, and temporary auras. Temporary effects that are not affected by expiration rate include rage and focus.

Slowing the expiration of temporary effects will make all positive and negative effects last a longer time.

Increasing the expiration rate of temporary effects will make all positive and negative effects last less time.
