Changes from default version

Unlike the original skill, this transfigured version has a limited Attached duration. It repeatedly pulses on activation, increasing in size and damage with the amount of energy on the target. Compared to the original, it has lower damage and damage effectiveness, but more damage with Hits and Ailments to the branded enemy, scaling with the amount of energy added. The brand does not explode on reaching maximum energy, nor is it consumed at maximum energy.

Skill functions and interactions

  • Energy: Penance Brands of Dissipation apply Energy to targets they are attached to on each activation. Each activation of the brand causes an AOE pulse on the target, increasing in size and damage with each stack of energy, up to 20 energy.
  • Multiple brands: If multiple Penance Brands are attached to an enemy simultaneously (via Runebinder), each brand will add Energy stacks towards the 20 cap. Each brand will use the total Energy on the monster when calculating their damage. Attaching two brands also reduces ramp time, increasing the proportion of their attached time that the brands will be at maximum energy.
