Cruelty is a buff that grants more damage over time to skills supported by Cruelty Support.
Mechanics[ | ]
Cruelty grants more damage over time with supported skills based on the percent of maximum life removed by a damaging hit.[1] It lasts 4 seconds by default, and has a maximum effect of 50% which is unaffected by modifiers to its effect.[2]
The effect of Cruelty is calculated using the following formula:[citation needed]
where D is the is the amount of damage caused by a hit, L is the enemy's maximum life, and M is the sum of increases to Cruelty effect.
