Mastermind of Discord
Ascendancy Notable Passive Skill
Exposure you inflict applies an extra -25% to the affected Resistance
Regenerate 1% of Mana per second if you've inflicted Exposure Recently [1]

Mastermind of Discord is a notable Ascendancy passive skill for the Elementalist. It causes exposure debuffs from the player (or the player's skills used by proxies) to apply an additional -25% to the relevant resistance. It also grants the player mana regeneration for 4 seconds after applying exposure personally.
