Notes[]

  • Pain Inverter triggers for each damage "packet" dealt by the foe, and the damage cap of 80 is applied to each packet separately after the damage multiplier.
    • For example, if a foe deals 200 damage to a single target in one hit, i.e. a single damage packet, Pain Inverter will trigger once and deal the maximum of 80 damage to the foe.
    • However, if a foe deals 60 damage each to 4 targets, then Pain Inverter (at Asura rank 10) will trigger 4 times, each packet multiplied to 60 × 140% = 84, which is capped at 80, then dealt 4 times for a total of 4 × 80 = 320 damage.
  • Pain Inverter's damage is based on the original damage deal by the foe, before it is modified by skills like Protective Spirit.
  • Damage multipliers from other skills, including Lightbringer, Intensity, and "By Ural's Hammer!", are applied after Pain Inverter's damage cap.
  • Hex-removal skills that deal damage will trigger Pain Inverter as they remove it.
  • This spell is very effective against enemies that deal large amounts of AoE damage, including elementalist bosses and Shiro Tagachi.
  • Has very good synergy when in a party with minions, as they provide even more targets to be hit by AoE.
