Status effects

Damage over time, debuffs, control and buffs. Heroes shorten a status by half their resistance to its element; control effects have diminishing returns and end in a few seconds of Unstoppable.

Your stats make them stronger

Everything you inflict grows with your class's primary ability (Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma), like a spell's save DC. Per point of its modifier:

  • +3% chance to apply any status
  • +2% duration of every harmful status you inflict, control included
  • +2% damage over time (burning, poison, bleeding)
  • +2% strength of Weakened, Vulnerable and Chilled

Damage over time also starts from the hit that applied it, so everything that makes your hits bigger (weapon, ability, damage bonuses, crits) makes it bigger too. Gear adds more: Afflicting (status chance) and of Festering (damage over time), plus legendary and set synergies. A boss resists control, and the target's own resistance still applies.
