Notes Edit

• If the hex is removed quickly, the target will end up being healed significantly. Consequently, it is important to use a cover hex. Phantom Pain is ideal, with its relatively low cost and additional Deep Wound condition.
• Mantra of Persistence will greatly increase the damage done, without increasing the healing.
• Recasting this hex on your target will refresh it without triggering the healing.
• The amount of healing scales with the maximum potential damage: the net damage is always approximately 50% of the theoretical maximum at any attribute rank.

Damage comparison Edit

The following table shows the total damage done to the target if the hex lasts the full duration, with and without the end healing.
