Echo (skill type)

Skill type. An echo is a skill, unique to paragons, that provides a duration-limited benefit to a single non-spirit ally. Most echoes are renewed when any chant or shout ends on the target; the remainder have some other connection to those skill types. Every echo has an energy cost, an activation time, and a recharge time, and an aftercast delay.

Echoes cannot be removed; they end only on expiration or death.

 * Finales
