Shaper of Desolation

Shaper of Desolation is a notable Ascendancy passive skill for the Elementalist that grants a Conflux effect that cycles over a 14 second period, which causes all combined damage types to apply Ignite, Chill, and/or Shock on hit.

Mechanics

Shaper of Desolation first grants Chilling Conflux for 4 seconds, then Shocking Conflux for 4 seconds, then Igniting Conflux for 4 seconds, then all thee Confluxes for 2 seconds. Since the total duration of all these buffs is 14 seconds, it effectively has a 100% uptime.
