Sustained

Sustained skills

Tooltip

Sustained skills cause a large number of Hits over a period of time. They roll for Critical Hits independently each time they damage enemies, rather than rolling once for the entire skill as other skills do.

Sustained is a gem tag on some skills. It applies to skills that hit many times, and affects how those skills roll critical hits.

Mechanics

Sustained skills cause a large number of hits over a period of time. They roll for critical hits independently each time they damage enemies, rather than rolling once for the entire skill as other skills do.
