[edit] Notes

• As this condition will not reduce armor below 60, many professions must have some form of extra armor bonus for this condition to have its full effect. For example, a "plain" elementalist would see no change in damage under this effect, but one using any of the elementalist insignia would lose any possible bonuses from such, and one using Armor of Earth would lose some of the benefit from the enchantment.
• Increases damage by about 41% on someone with at least 80 armor.

Anomaly.

Cracked Armor has the same animation as Weakness

[edit] Trivia

• This is the only Condition added to the game after the release of Prophecies. As it was a significant functionality change, only a few skills older than Eye of the North — Weaken Armor, Lightning Orb and Aggressive Refrain — were updated to use the new effect.
