PATCH 20261101.12026-11-02T07:17:50.548Z

Strikes the thickest pack in reach with 18 fire, cold and lightning damage added, half to those beside.

These are base learned-level effects, not final character-sheet damage. Account for equipment bonuses, synergies, modifiers and enemy resistances.

Effects by level

Evolution requirements

• Evolution V Vengeance → V Rusthandle Catalyst C Conviction From character level 30 After it evolves, the base comes back to the level-up cards as a new skill at level 1.

Synergies and practical checks

• Resist Fire: +20% Fire Damage per Level
• Resist Cold: +20% Cold Damage per Level
• Resist Lightning: +20% Lightning Damage per Level
• Salvation: +4% Fire, Cold and Lightning Damage per Level

• As in Diablo II, it strikes with your weapon’s blow, the Short Sword’s every Paladin starts with, and adds its fire, cold and lightning to it, each 70% of that blow and +6% a point, 184% at its eighth level. Only the monster struck takes the weapon’s blow.
• Its fire, cold and lightning are each dealt and resisted on their own: a fire immune still takes the cold and the lightning. The cold chills.
• Your fire, cold and lightning bonuses (Energy, items’ +% Damage) and your weapon’s damage raise its elements. Strength, Might, Concentration and Fanaticism raise its weapon’s blow alone: theirs is physical.
• It counts as a fire skill, where Diablo II’s counts as cold: items’ +Fire Skills raise it, not +Cold or +Lightning Skills. Only its weapon’s blow can critically strike.

Skill modifiers

• Burst — Its splash reaches over twice as far, but deals 20% instead of half.
• Focused — Its target takes 25% more damage, and those beside take 30% less.
• Attuned — The whole blow is the element each monster resists least. It deals 15% less damage.
