Additional Details

• Evie-only skill.
• Previously, before the Evie rewamp, the skill had a mechanic that was removed: it increased the damage from smeshes inflicted on marked enemies. And this significantly influenced the gameplay, determining the effective tactics of DPS rotations. However, this is no longer the case, and now smash damage dealt to marked enemies is not increased.
  • What the skill description says is "while the mark is active and you can inflict additional damage with the Smash key." - it should be clarified that that it's about the ability to inflict additional damage by activating the explosion of the mark by pressing a Smash key (character snapping fingers), but not about additional damage from smashes.
• The description of the skill effects indicated: AoE +%. It should be clarified that it's about the parameter for increasing AoE radius, but not AoE damage.
• Deals DoT (Damage over Time) damage every 1 seconds. The DoT damage depends on your's M. ATT and BAL, also the boss's DEF.
  • The effect of the mark is applied for 30 minutes, during which it can be released by pressing a Smash key. However, the DoT damage only dealt for the duration specified in the skill's effects description, which increases with the skill's rank (44 seconds on Rank 6). DoT damage continues to be dealt even after the effect is released.
• The info in the tooltip effect says: "Use drain to mark enemies" - this is misleading. In fact, you do not need to use Drain by presing Grab button to apply the mark, as it applies itself automatically when using Soul Skever. Usind Drain with Grab button will give an enhanced effect.
• Can have Life Drain, Spirit Bind and Bloody Thread "buffs" active at the same time as Mark of Death.
