Choose a player archetype to resolve effects. Enemy level 50.

Damage estimates are before enemy resistance and assume the attack hits. Mez duration is before target-specific mez resistance; rank settings show protection thresholds. Damage over time totals use listed duration, initial delay, tick interval, and per-tick chance.
