Echoes are skills that have an additional effect whenever a Shout takes effect or ends on an ally.

— Mothusi, Expert Paragon

Skill type. An echo is a type of Paragon skill that provides a duration-limited benefit to a single non-spirit ally. Echoes have an energy cost, an activation time, and an aftercast delay. Although they cannot be removed (ending only on expiration or death), Echoes are less powerful than other skills with similar benefits.

Variations

All but two Echoes belong to one of two skill types:

• Finales provide an instant effect triggered when a chant or shout ends on the target: Blazing Finale, Energizing Finale, Finale of Restoration, Purifying Finale
• Refrains provide effects that are renewed whenever a chant or shout ends on the target: Aggressive Refrain, Bladeturn Refrain, Burning Refrain, Hasty Refrain, Mending Refrain
• Enduring Harmony — extends the length of chants and shouts.
• Soldier's Fury — while under the effects of a chant or shout, increases attack speed and adrenaline gain (while lowering armor)

Notes

• Chants or shouts that cause instant effects do not trigger echoes, since the chant/shout effect must actually end (i.e. appear and disappear from the Effects Monitor). For example, "Never Give Up!" will not trigger echoes.
