Assassin's Mark skill screenshot

Assassin's Mark is a spell that marks a single target with a curse. Hits against the marked target have added critical strike chance and multipler. The marked target grants a power charge and life and mana recovery when killed.

Skill functions and interactions[ | ]

  • Mark: Only one mark (regardless of source) can be active at all times. Increasing the curse limit will allow you to apply additional hexes on top of a mark, but does not let you apply additional marks on different targets or apply multiple mark on one target.
