Description
When active, aura reduces the length of time you and your party will remain poisoned or cursed.
Key details
- Cleansing is one of only two skills in the game that can reduce curse duration, the other being the Assassin's skill Fade (which cannot be used on party members).
- Whereas Fade reduces the duration of curses when the curse is first applied, Cleansing has hidden "pulses" that occur once every two seconds.
- Whenever the aura pulses, each affected unit reduces the remaining curse duration by the appropriate amount.
- In practice, this can result in curses with durations dramatically shorter than one might expect from taking the wording of Cleansing at face value.
- Cleansing interacts with poison duration in a manner much like the explanation provided above, whereas "Poison Length Reduced by X%" is applied only once, at the beginning of a poison's duration.
- One interesting consequence of this is that Cleansing can fail to abbreviate the duration of very short-lived poisons, including those inflicted by the Venom: Skill.
- Cleansing also reduces shrine duration.
