Mystic Burst: Difference between revisions

Line 30:

* In order to trigger the additional damage, the triggering spirit damage must exceed the threshold ''after'' damage reduction calculations, including spirit armor and damage reductions (e.g. from Inhibitor).

* Interaction with spirit shields: The triggering of the additional damage is entirely unaffected by the target's spirit shields (or lack thereof). The spirit resistance of the target is always taken into account when calculating whether the damage is above the triggering threshold.

* The additional damage, and the ability which triggered the additional damage, are applied to the target as separate instances of damage. The additional damage from Mystic burst is dealt after the original spell damage. This has implications for abilities or effects that rely on single instances of damage, for example:

** Vindicta uses assassinate on an enemy Warden. The baseline Assassinate on its own is not enough damage to kill the Warden, but the increased damage (due to the additional damage from triggering Mystic Burst) is enough to secure the kill. Since the additional damage from triggering Mystic Burst is applied after the Assassinate, it is technically the item's damage which secures the kill, not the Assassinate. Thus, Vindicta will not receive bonus souls from Assassinate's passive.
