Notes

• The armor reduction is applied after effects from skills and Cracked Armor, including armor penetration bonuses.
  • This effect can be combined with other armor penalties to lower your armor rating below 0. According to ANet, this is intentional.
  • See armor calculation for details.
• The healing bonus works similar to Life Attunement, see healing modifiers for details. In particular,
  • it does increase all forms of healing on characters affected by the flux, including Divine Favor bonuses and indirect heals.
  • it does not increase non-healing health gain.

Trivia

• This Flux was in effect from September 1 – 30, 2011.
• The healing bonus was added in the September 8, 2011 game update.
• This effect's name is shared with pencil-and-paper rules (included in D&D and NWN), and with a meme catalyzed by the appearance of the Giant Enemy Crab.
