Impale

Tooltip

Impale is a Debuff inflicted by Hits, which stores 30% of the Pre-mitigation Physical Hit damage of the Impaling hit as its Magnitude.

Subsequent Attack Hits against Impaled targets will Extract the Impale debuff. When this occurs, the stored damage of the Impale is added to the Pre-mitigation damage of that attack hit.

A maximum of 60 Impale Debuffs can be present on a target at once. If multiple Impales are present on a target, each Attack Hits only Extracts and benefits from the strongest one of them.

Impale is a debuff which stores a portion of the physical damage of the hit that applied it. Hitting the afflicted target with an attack will extract the Impale, adding the stored damage from the debuff to that hit. Impale can stack, but each hit will only extract the Impale with the highest amount of damage stored.

Impale last 4 seconds on players and indefinitely on non-player targets.
